On Wednesday, December 30, 2009, while playing golf in Hawaii, Conservative Radio Host, Rush Limbaugh, was taken to Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu after experiencing severe chest pains. Upon his arrival, Limbaugh began a series of tests under the supervision of cardiologist Dr. Magno to help diagnose the root cause of his chest pains. And within an hour, the staff was able to alleviate his discomfort. He remained in the hospital for observation and rested comfortably while awaiting the results of his angiogram.
The following day, after Limbaugh's doctors received his test results, the lab tests indicated there were no noticeable signs of a heart attack with no vessel damage or arterial disease. The cause of Limbaugh's pains remained a mystery due to any number of variables, but his results were a positive sign of his overall health.
After Limbaugh's release, on January 1, 2010, he held a press conference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oglQ3RP2PkA&feature=topvideos alongside Dr. Magno, where he graciously thanked all the medical professionals for his care and treament. Despite media pressures, Limbaugh downplayed the unpopular controversial health plan and political topics proposed by Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi, and President Obama because he did not feel that a hospital setting was an appropriate forum for poltical debate. Instead, he continued to express his gratitude and professionally gave all the credit to the medical staff that treated him. [NOTE: On December 30, 2009, in a Rasmussen Reports national phone survey, that only 39% of America Support Obamacare , while 58% are opposed to it with more and more Americans opposing the Bill as it becomes closer to passage]. However, Limbaugh did comment that the "US has the best healthcare system in the world" as it is and he was thankful to be born and treated in the United States. One reporter did snidely ask if he [Limbaugh] is taking pain killers again for his "back pain?" Defiantly, Limbaugh said "no, a steroid, Prednisone." [NOTE: In April 2006, Limbaugh entered into rehab after exclaiming he was addicted to prescription strength pain killers].
