McConnell was apparently unconscious when he was rushed to the hospital on June 14th after suffering from cardiac arrest. His spokesperson is declining to give any updates on his current condition:
Emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the Washington home of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell last month to attend to an unconscious person who appeared to be in cardiac arrest, according to EMS dispatch audio reviewed by ABC News.
While the audio does not indicate who the person is, the incident occurred on the same day that McConnell was hospitalized on June 14.

(3,567 posts)As someone posted earlier on this... you don't recover from a cardiac arrest at 84. There may be some exceptions, but they are exceedingly rare and his health was shit anyway. There needs to be a law whereby any constituent can demand a certified health update (within reason) of someone representing them in congress from a real g-damned independent MD. You know, I'm not so sure there shouldn't be a HIPAA exception for national representatives. It would seem that the public has a compelling interest to know whether it's their representative that's actually making the decisions, whether they're demented, etc. The secrecy surrounding all these motherfuckers (e.g. Kean) is plainly anti-democratic.
