Cheney Victim has Heart Attack

February 14, 2006 |

So the guy who was shot by Dick Cheney had a heart attack - because of birdshot lodged in his heart. Oh, and he has an irregular heartbeat - and he wants to go home… This whole story just makes so little sense, I wonder what’s next.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
The 78-year-old lawyer who was shot by Vice President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident has some birdshot lodged in his heart and he had a “minor heart attack,” a hospital official said Tuesday.
 
Peter Banko, the hospital administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial, said Harry Whittington had the heart attack early Tuesday while being evaluated.
 
He said there was an irregularity in the heartbeat caused by a birdshot pellet, and doctors performed a cardiac catheterization. Whittington expressed a desire to leave the hospital, but Banko said he would probably stay for another week.
