Is still hospitalized, 5 weeks after he was first checked in (the same week he checked out after a shorter-term stay due to light-headedness). When will he be back? Nobody knows - not even his own spokesman or his senatorial colleagues. While depression itself isn't going to kill him (unless it's far more severe than the news has reported), it's not a great sign for him to probably be hospitalized for 2 months or more - and leaves his overall health in question. At least in my opinion.

I guess he's afraid the depression will cause him to kill himself.

Other articles I've found have noted that it seems to be that doctors are having some trouble getting his antidepressant medications correct. I assume interactions with his current medications might be something they're looking out for.

Lula hospitalised with pneumonia.

 

I think it's the third time at least he gets hospitalised after regaining power. Also cancer survivor, worth his thread?

I mean he is currently a leader and most likely one of the well known ones so I agree.

Mitch is just one of those politicians who makes life miserable for both liberals and conservatives (both of them agree that McConnell is trash). Honestly McConnell should have retired 20 years ago at least. I wonder when Mitch is gonna realize that 80% of America hates his old guts.

Mitch McConnell discharged from rehab.

What I don't get is that I hear Republicans quite rightly questioning Fettermans and Feinsteins ability to fulfill their Senate roles but haven't seen the same scrutiny of McConnell even though he is quite unpopular with the Republican base.

There clearly needs to be physical and mental tests for elected officials.

With feinstein the concerns are about her memory. Falling over is one thing, not be there cognitively is another story.

Falling over is also something that generally happens with age. Unlike those sorts of memory or physical issues in other cases. Although he probably should be retired given his age!

McConnell also had polio, so has trouble walking in general.

All these 70/barely 80 year old MPs keep dying. Meanwhile, my go to picks of Dick Taverne and Dr Taylor couldn't be healthier!

Reaper is going to reap! Couldn't happen to a more deserving self-entitled twat. Of course I'm reserving my choons for Norman, Douglas, Nigel etc.

 

Bonsor along with many of his ilk was washed away in the Labour landslide of 1997.

 

Of interest, heir apparent to the baronetcy is Alexander Cosmo Walrond Bonsor (b. 1976).
