Report: Limbaugh hospitalized with chest pains

The radio talk show host has been vacationing in Hawaii

BREAKING NEWS
The Associated Press
updated 10:10 p.m. ET, Wed., Dec . 30, 2009

A Honolulu television station was reporting Wednesday night that radio
talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital with chest pains.

KITV reported that paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from
the Kahala Hotel and Resort where he is vacationing.

The station, citing unnamed sources, said paramedics treated Limbaugh
and took him to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.

Queen's spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to
comment on the report.

Limbaugh was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week.
The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

Limbaugh reported about eight years ago that he had lost most of his
hearing, saying it was caused by an autoimmune inner-ear disease. He
had surgery to have an electronic device placed in his skull to
restore his hearing.

In 2006, he faced a single charge involving prescription fraud after a
three-year investigation of drug use. Under a plea deal, the charge
was dropped in return for Limbaugh continuing treatment.

Prosecutors began investigating Limbaugh in 2003 after The National
Enquirer reported his housekeeper�s allegations that he had abused
OxyContin and other painkillers. He soon took a five-week leave from
his radio show to enter a rehabilitation program and acknowledged he
had become addicted to pain medication. He blamed it on severe back
pain.

Prosecutors seized Limbaugh�s medical records after learning that he
received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six
months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion. The investigation
was held up as prosecutors and his lawyer battled in court over
whether the records were properly seized.

How do you know he's a liberal, rocket scientist? There are a lot of TRUE
conservatives who despise Rush as well. Not all conservatives are

Rush is worse then a serial killer or pedophile. They typically only
destroy a few lives. Limpaugh had damaged thousands of lives thru the
vile hatred he spews daily and which infects those who slavishly
listen to him. The world would be better off with him dead just as it
would have been better off with Hitler dead about 10 years earlier
then he did die. But I won't hope for his death because that would
not be polite.

Waist circumference and fat head circumference are to blame.

http://www.mayoclinic.com

Here are 10 lifestyle changes you can make to lower your blood pressure
and keep it down.

1. Lose those extra pounds and watch your waistline Blood pressure often
increases as weight increases. Losing just 10 pounds can help reduce
your blood pressure significantly. In general, the more weight you lose,
the lower your blood pressure. Losing weight also makes any blood
pressure medications you're taking more effective. Besides shedding
pounds, you should also keep an eye on your waistline. Carrying too much
weight around your waist can put you at greater risk of high blood
pressure. In general, men are considered at risk if their waist
measurement is greater than 40 inches (102 centimeters, or cm). And
women, in general, are at risk if their waist measurement is greater
than 35 inches (88 cm). However, for people of Asian descent, men are
considered at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 36 inches
(90 cm), and women are at risk if their waist measurement is greater
than 32 inches (80 cm). You and your doctor can determine your target
weight and the best way to achieve it. Your doctor might recommend that
you eat healthier foods, exercise and change self-defeating behaviors,
such as late-night snacking or big servings at meals.

Funny how the doctors could find absolutely nothing that would have caused
his chest pains.

Chest pains are a side effect of taking too much Oxycontin.

Yes, but he told the paramedics he had just taken pain medication for his
bad back, and he has a history of Oxycontin abuse. Machine might be reaching
a little, but the scenario he presented is far from unlikely.

Limbaugh 'Resting' at Hawaii Hospital of 'Birther' Controversy
By Carol Forsloff.
Jan 1, 2010 by â–  Carol Forsloff
Rush Limbaugh, Conservative Talk Radio Show Host
After complaining of chest pains, Rush Limbaugh was taken to Queen's Hospital, a major health facility on the island of Oahu. The media waits for news about the health status of the famous talk show host.
Rush Limbaugh, known for his provocative statements on radio and television, is in Hawaii on vacation at the very time President Barack Obama and has family are spending the holidays there, according to KGMB News.
Queen's Hospital is perhaps the best-known medical facility on the island of Oahu, but it is not without its detractors. Those who have been patients there have mixed feelings about the care and comprehensiveness of its services, but most report it good. It is graced with an abundance of beauty surrounding it, within a short distance to Honolulu's downtown area. It is also the hospital that gave birth to the "birther" conspiracy about President Obama.
"Birthers" believe Obama is not a legitimate President because they believe he was not born in the United States. These folk maintain Obama was born perhaps in Kenya, where his father was born,, or declare the President's birthplace unknown. Queen's Medical Center, where Limbaugh is reported to be 'resting comfortably,' was erroneously reported by a United Press Reporter as the hospital where Obama was born. He was, however, born at Kapiolani Hospital , another hosplital in Honolulu in the general area of Makiki, which is close to the University of Hawaii, the school Obama's mother attended, met Obama's father, and where she received her Ph.D. Limbaugh's conservative views supported the birthers, and Queen's Hospital was part of the early discussion on the matter of Obama's birth. The Honolulu Advertiser later clarified the facts about the Presdent's birth even as Limbaugh continued to reject them. Indeed, as Media Matters quoted, Limbaugh has been one of the lightning rods of the debate, refusing to believe information provided directly from Hawaii.
Obama's health care program has been part of Limbaugh's focus during recent months, as the talk-show personality has continued to oppose it. Hawaii, however, is said to be one of the chief models used for Obama's original plan, and is now the place where Limbaugh's health issues are being reviewed and where he is being treated. Queens is part of a system Limbaugh has been against. Even though it is a private hospital, it participates in a program that requires employers to provide both health and disability insurance for workers whose hours exceed 20 weekly and which was lauded by Hillary Clinton as one of the best models for health care.
Hawaii's health care program was the first in the country to offer near-universal health care beginning in 1974. It is now, however, under fire for some of its problems, as noted recently by the Honolulu Advertiser. The Advertiser reports Hawaii has had near-record levels of coverage, but there have been grave problems resulting from compromises between employers and private insurance companies and health care advocates and the resulting debates. Failures occur if compromise becomes the guiding principle, according to the Advertiser, as opposed to real universal health care.
