Reports citing emergency dispatch audio said responders were called to McConnell’s residence on June 14 for an unconscious patient and later discussed “CPR in progress” for a possible cardiac emergency.

Oh! So, we’ve escalated from him being found unconscious and rushed to the hospital to active CPR? Wouldn’t it have been something if the Republican stance of allowing doctors to decline giving medical care on moral grounds ended up being applied against the interests of the long-term cancer that is McConnell?

    I hope he survives. I hope he continues to live a long, long time. I hope this happens to him frequently during that time.

      Hopefully he’ll get fitted with one of those hellish automatic home defibrillators. You know, because every life is worth fighting for till the very end, for as long as humanly possible. Mitch’s life is especially worth it.

        That could be pretty effective, but nothing beats manual CPR. At a certain point, someone’s hands are going to collapse into a pile of bone dust.
