Headline News' Glenn Beck talks about his recent botched surgery, rails against the hospital where he was treated, launches into the Presidential campaign and a lack of compassion then talks about how he became "full fledged suicidal."

Follow the link above to watch the embedded video of a weirded out Beck post op, and apparently, post psychotic break.

That is about as honest and as right in your face as you are going to get from anyone. Beck is pretty much that way normally; in this case I think the meds kind of supercharged it.

Such drama though. Well I'll be listening Monday to see what the scoop is but I think he just had a bad trip, so to speak. He was on a fentanyl patch post op and that's as strong an analgesic as there is...as everyone knows he's recovering alcoholic and they don't metabolize drugs quite the same as everyone else, which could explain the bizarre reaction.

Part way through watching, I stopped. Who is this assshole and what is his point?

The President of GE goes to that hospital. "If they don't care about the President of GE", how can they care about the "average shlub" the "regular worker"?

Of course being the President of GE is of such a vaunted status as to be certainly above, say a plumber in need of medical care, maybe a mechanic or - God, just imagine - the poor guy who pumps your gas.

Really. This prevailing superiority complex that afflicts both financial demographics, evidenced with which it so easily flows from the mouths of ignorant fools, is what damages the very core foundations of this country.

Someone should catapult him off the continent. :rolleyes:

Beck is back on the air. Looks like Hemmorhoid surgery gone bad, apparently awakened during the procedure, staff was cold, aloof. And bad reaction to drugs as expected. Maybe this was his first hospital stay.

VTA, if by now you have not realized that its the rich and famous that always get treated better then you have learned nothing about life. The real mark of any place- be it a hospital or car dealership or whatever- is how they treat the average customer. The big boys ALWAYS get treated better.
