The Associated Press: Judge: John Edwards has serious heart condition

By MICHAEL BIESECKER, Associated Press – 1 hour ago

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Ex-presidential candidate John Edwards has a serious heart condition that will require a medical procedure next month and his illness limits his travel including for an upcoming court case over possible campaign violations, his doctor told a judge, who delayed the trial.

Federal Judge Catherine Eagles did not disclose the exact nature of Edwards' illness Friday or what procedure he needed. However, she said the two-time presidential candidate had "three episodes" and indicated his condition could be life-threatening if left untreated.

A cardiologist for the 58-year-old ex-North Carolina senator wrote two letters about his condition to Eagles, who talked about them during a hearing to consider whether the trial on six felony and misdemeanor counts should begin this month. Eagles said jury selection will now start March 26, at the earliest.

Edwards is taking medication and is scheduled to undergo a procedure in February from which it will take several days to recover, Eagles said. She did not describe what the episodes involved or if the procedure would require unclogging arteries or other common treatments. The doctor's letters and other medical records have been kept under seal by the court.

Good news! He has a heart!

 

[MeBelle]

Good news! He has a heart!

Yeah...a black and dying heart...maybe.

Ya know, if his condition is so life threatening, why are they putting off treatment until February?

 

[Ravi]

Karma.

 

[California Girl]

Karma.

It's a bitch, ain't it?

When I was first diagnosed with a right bundle block, I drove from Ga to OH, and Back to Ga in a weekend. Loaded our household into two 25ft trucks and drove back to Ohio. Unloaded the trucks on Friday, saw a cardiologist on Wednesday and had my first stent put in on Monday.....

But you're a hard ass, and he's a wimp.

Cardiologist actually called me a dumb ass, and I asked him if he wanted to come over the house and help unpack...... He declined......

It's probably going to take that long to find a doctor who will willingly operate on a med mal attorney.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I hope he lives for the trial.

 

[jillian]

niiiiiiiice.... you don't like someone's politics so wish them dead?

really?

i'm sure he decided to have heart surgery just to avoid a trial.

yep. that's it.

you should be ashamed.

but i know you're not.

I don't wish him dead. I hope he lives to serve whatever sentence he's given. After that, I couldn't care less.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I don't think it's so much about that as it is the guy being a cold-hearted sleazy, lying bastard.

 

[Liability]

Good news! He has a heart!

After what he did to his sick and dying wife, I'd say he's heartLESS.

I guess that qualifies as a "serious heart condition."

Could he be lying just to avoid court? Only the judge knows for sure. We haven't seen the documentation that he/she has. I trust the judicial system enough to think it's a legit ailment.

At any rate, the only person that should be ashamed is John Edwards. He's a lying, despicable, disgusting person. I don't wish him dead, he's already dead inside.

1. what he was charged with is something generally addressed by the FEC. The fact that it is in Court is bizarre.

2. He is scheduled for heart surgery according to the court. is he having surgery to avoid a trial?

3. Why would you see "evidence"?

4. He cheated on his wife... so did gingrich, clinton, daddy bush, eisenhower, fdr and kennedy.

5. i'm afraid i can't get up a head of steam about it. i don't get into fauxrage. and i can tell you that as vile and despicable and disgusting a human being as dick cheney is, i never once wished anything bad happen to him.

I can't get up a head of steam for this flea either- he's just too insignificant. ..
