day in surgery having a defibrillator installed. His campaign later disclosed that Fetterman had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy years before and had not followed the recommended medical advice for his condition.at George Washington University Hospital for lightheadedness during a retreat for Democratic senators, Calvello said then. His doctors ruled out that he’d suffered a second stroke.
He had just returned to Congress from that hospitalization when he was evaluated by the attending physician of Congress, Brian P. Monahan, who suggested inpatient care for depression that had become “severe in recent weeks,” Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, said in a statement at the time.
Fetterman’s stroke last year sidelined him from the campaign for about two months, and left him with an auditory processing disorder that inhibited his ability to hear, especially when there is competing background noise. In mid-August, Fetterman resumed public campaign events, where he spoke openly about his health setback and recovery.
gtconway3d Stroke patients often have depression due to frustration over loss of some physical or cognitive abilities. He’s still better than Oz would have been!
When are they going to replace him? If I can’t go to work I get fired and I don’t get paid. Regardless of existing medical conditions.
What is that
Is it dead yet?
Is a tough life to be a WEF puppet.
We're more likely to see Walt Disney return than Fetterman
Glad he’s getting the help he needs and bringing awareness!
Neutral voters sure had the wool pulled over their eyes.
Inpatient treatment for 'depression'? Gee, these DC elitists are royalty!
Why did his wife leave his side and take his children away ? Shouldn’t their presence be part of his healing ?
A new election is needed to replace him since he was sick before the election.
I feel bad for him and Pennsylvania.
Proves you get what you paid for
and his political pimp wife skipped to Canada
Why is his office all of a sudden putting updates out there when the leak that he's braid dead came out
We wish him well. I may not agree with his positions, but those things are nothing when it comes to health and life. May God heal him and give him back his quality of life and look over his family and give them strength in Jesus' name we pray Amen
Ok the Democrats won the election, but let’s just be honest with ourselves, the Republicans were right that Fetterman is not medically fit to hold office. The Democrat Governor can choose someone else but he needs to go…
I am certain he is not coming back. Get a replacement right away. What is the fear? Democrats will win the election and Pennsylvania will stay democrat, by choice or by fraud.
gtconway3d It’s great that he’s getting the help he needs and deserves. In the meantime, RepMTG , laurenboebert , and others with real mental health issues are running around unfettered (see what I did there)
morgfair Don’t push!
Good thing Pennsylvania elected him so he could get that free government health care. Not my first choice but there it is.
So sorry. Hard times. Blessings
gtconway3d I would imagine that getting into office and experiencing the futility of some of his constituents attitudes could be overwhelming.
Would love to see this happen.
I heard a rumor that he was in Canada to escape US media and people?
Treatment for clinical retardation
gtconway3d A very sad story…Glad he’s in a safe place.
gtconway3d My prayers are with him. I'm glad he was brave enough to do this for himself. His actions will give many others the courage to seek the help they need, and save lives.
Liars.
Js
Ummm... Can PA get a recount
0prah_ endorsed him. You owe Pennsylvania an apology.
Let's circle back in a month to see if he returned to Congress.
As long as he can move his hand to vote as he's told, right?
Gonna be tough to find a Fetterman body double
A proper leader who believes in democracy would have stepped down immediately, especially given the time is still ripe for a special election. But as long as someone else can cast his vote along the party lines, he's a great senator worthy of those who voted for him....for sure.
Must suck not being able to differentiate between yay & nay. I feel for him. The people that voted for him are to blame though, it’s not like it was a secret.
And his wife took their kids to another country on vacation while he is there
gtconway3d I hope he gets the treatment needed to get better. I pray for his recovery
The WaPo pushed this disaster. It’s on you
gtconway3d Leave him alone. He needs rest, compassion and patience. How’s two months max for recovery? Then?
I hope he gets better soon. Wonder is the stroke exacerbated his depression, or maybe the new medications? Drugs, especially when mixed together, can have many bad side effects. Tricky.
Democrats knew he was unfit and lied to you anyway
Steady as she goes Sen., you will get through these rough waters.
🙏🏼
gtconway3d Praying for him to recover. 🙏
gtconway3d May he heal through this journey, with support from his family , community and medical professionals. He should be praised for his courage to come forward with his personal struggles . ❤️
gtconway3d Dems need Fetterman back soon. This Country needs Fetterman back soon, as well.
Is he actually on a “road”that’s called “Recovery” ? Waoow!! He’s a Big Toad to be Placed on a road. But! If this Lewis Carol like Road is called Recovery Well, who am I boys and girls to ruin A Perfectly narrated Almost quite faerie tale like yarn🧚🏽♀️🧚🧚🏽♀️ Good night Childrëñ
Penn. only has until Mar. 8 to decertify his election, after that the governor chooses. This story was placed to kill time. He cannot fulfill his duties. Get on it, Pennsylvanians, before you lose your choice!
This election would’ve been Oz 60% and Fetterman 40% if Pennsylvania voters had a quarter of a brain. Instead we have no Senator.
Not surprised. Most medications for clinical depression can take 14 or more days to get regulated in your system & adjustments often are required.
Time for a special election. He's not fit. And what kind of wife leaves the country with the kids while her husband is hospitalized
Where did his lovely wife Giselle go on vacation to.......this must be love ! 😂
Nahhhhhh we need proof of life.
How much paid sick time do Senators get?
This guy had a heart attack and is now checked in for depression. Perhaps he needs to take care of his health? The Dems have majority in Congress and a D governor. Can PA replace him with another D senator or will a special election be needed?
Dems got him elected and immediately cashed in on tax payer health care.
Headlines like this and other attention grab examples I’ve seen lately are making me reconsider renewing my subscription. Do better.
Don't worry, he's in good hands.
You forgot to add how his wife fled the country.
I am a psychiatrist and I know very well that no hospital would keep any patient for two weeks for depression. This is illogical.
They said it would be at least a month. Leave the guy alone while he gets sorted.
frightening what you are having him do.
What shameful treatment of this unfortunate man by the Dems and his wife.
get out of the hospital and do your job you where elected to do if you are medically unfit you need to resign and let someone get voted in that is able
We need proof of life!
so he got elected then got to hospitalize himself on our dime , he has spent more time at the hospital then on the congress floor doing what he got elected to do
And still a better senator than Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz.
Take your time John. There's nothing going on except craziness in Congress.
It’s worse than anyone is letting on
Oh gid he's gonna go to canada
gtconway3d Prayers & we love you, true American guy
He needs to resign
gtconway3d What happens if he cannot resume his duties
gtconway3d And still doing a better job than Oz would.
When is the special election to replace him since he can’t fulfill his sworn duties?
Are his wife and kids still in Canada instead of by his side providing comfort to their 'loved one'?
Just resign already
Balancing mental health meds takes awhile
gtconway3d Prayers for Sen. Fetterman and his family.
Meanwhile his wife and kids take a vacation 🤣🤣🤣🤣
gtconway3d And so what?
We deserve proof he is genuinely alive. Gonna be hard to find a body double for that circus freak
This is a guy that should have never been elected to serve the Citizens of Pennsylvania. Obviously a disappointment and unfortunately a disservice that could have been avoided by Voting
gtconway3d Healing takes time and he ain't going anywhere MAGA GOP
He is just a yes vote .....
FFS. The vast majority of psychotropic drugs used for treatment of depression take at least two weeks to begin to become effective. And, that is if first line drugs are effective which unfortunatly they are sometimes not.
Fetterman should resign.
gtconway3d I’m so happy he has a doctor that cares. Mine told me to take a cold shower and get out of bed This is now our broken medical system Thanks GOP you and trump caused this fall
They are lying and his wife left the country . What a mess 🤷
My Father had TIA'S leading to Major Stroke .... and Permanent Disability.... never recovered
Stalling the Senate’s leftist agenda.
fettermanstrong
gtconway3d Ok by me. Still better than Dr. Oz.
Resign and take Joe with you...
gtconway3d Leave the guy alone. Why retweet this. SMH
Thinking of John🙏🏻
gtconway3d no rush get healthy
gtconway3d Your headline implies this is an outlier. It isn’t.
he's fine. give him time. ProtectFetty🇺🇸
Disgusting what democrats and his wife are doing to him. They have no moral compass.
🙏❤️
He’s hospitalised, yes. But not receiving treatment. He’s down in the morgue.
gtconway3d Bless you Senator Fetterman. To better and healthier days ahead 💙🙏🏻
This man is sacrificing his life for the democratic party, you have got to admire his commitment.
Your implication is that he should be “better” or “healed” by now. Mental health is not so easily fixed. Do better.
Milo visits him every day to ensure he is well taken care of.
gtconway3d 🙏🏽💙💙
Before everyone freaks out, this length of time isn’t unusual. I was treated for the same thing. 17 days inpatient, 2-4 weeks outpatient part time. I’m not only capable of working full time, I’ve been in leadership/administrative roles.
gtconway3d Who could have ever seen that coming 🤔
I find this odd. A friend was hospitalized for less than a week after being suicidal - and she was told an average stay is 3-10 days. I hope he is getting the help he needs though!
Depression is just a cover story. Fetterman will never be the same, he will never recover from his stroke.
gtconway3d Depression isn't just being 'sad.'
I heard he had another stroke & is basically 100% disabled but the Dems are trying to cover it up to prevent a special election
he may need to step down. we have work to do.
Unfit for office
If you understood Spanish like I do & listened frequently to Central American radio on the Internet, you would find that the nightmare of the possibility of your child being murdered is much greater. Governments are taking advantage of Biden's open borders to empty their prisons.
