U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. During the August recess, he will have surgery. The 65 year old has been in the Senate thirty years and plans to run for a seventh term in 2010.
Dodd it the ranking member of the Democrat controlled Health, Education and Pensions Committee in the Senate. He is leading the charge for health care reform in the bogus Obama health care crisis in America.
Dodd has planned a press conference for 2 p.m. eastern time to announce he has Prostate cancer.
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd fighting Prostate Cancer.
It has not been announced which country Senator Dodd will go to for the surgery. As we all know America has the worst health care in the world. American Doctors often remove organs from patients’ body just to bill Medicare million of dollars.
I am hoping it will be announced if the Senator will have his surgery will be preformed in Canada, The UK, Cuba or Sweden. My guess is Cuba or Canada. I will update this post just as soon as we know.
I sincerely wish Senator Dodd all the best and speedy recovery and a speedy treatment with his fight against Prostate Cancer.

Personally, I think he’s too old to treat. Send him for joint “End Of Life Counseling” with Teddy Kennedy and move on.

OK, will it be the UK or Canada for Dodd’s surgery? Since our HC system sucks so bad according to him, I have to assume that he will choose to receive care from a country whose health care is administered by their government. Funny, he also takes a lot of $ from insurers. Strange how that works.
Oh, and get well soon. I actually mean that.

OK now Jodi Rell has to run for senator, because she’ll have no difficultly beating Dodd. I mean he has a 66% disapproval rating,no campaign money, and an unpopular democratic agenda. I mean look at what’s happening with this country ever since obama has walked in we’ve had higher deficits,more regulation,higher taxes in our future for all Americans, a failed stimulus, more unemployment, and trouble with Iran and North Korea so were screwed as simple as that.

Darn, that’s what killed my dad.
Dodd has been caught up with ethics problems over a sweet mortgage deal, just like Obama got in Chicago. It’s hurting his poll numbers so this may give him a reason to step aside.
July 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
It is a tough cancer for a male to get. I really want him to get better. He should thank God that he was born in a country that has the BEST health care system and care on the face of the earth.
He won’t quit. Dodd’s ego is way too large for that to be a consideration.
July 31st, 2009 at 2:45 pm
My dad had it 30 years ago and had surgery. It is so treatable if caught.
I work with a guy whose father, uncles and grandfathers all die from it. He will not go have a prostate exam. Says no one is putting their finger or anything else up his butt. The PSA test by itself in not always right.
I tell him I would rather have that once a year then end up with a limp noodle.
Mdefl you are right. He should thank God for being an American.

Since he is a veteran of the army reserve, why doesn’t he choose a VA hospital? Since he is 65 and Medicare eligible, why not choose a city run, county run, or rural hospital? How come Dodd can choose the best and most expensive cancer care hospital in the world for his care and get surgery immediately, but the rest of us have to wait and use government health care? http://tinyurl.com/mdy4uf

My father died of prostate cancer.
To make fun of someone’s illness is the lowest of the low. I personally would be afraid to do it.
I think that I would care more about what country I am going to after I die, and you should be too, GEORGE.

“I think that I would care more about what country I am going to after I die, and you should be too, GEORGE.”
Is that part of the Oblahma health care? We have to go to another country to die. Great. Another job shipped overseas.
If you meant heaven or hell. I’ll be in heaven. I am forgiven not perfect.
I was not making fun of Sen Dodd’s illness. Does the prison provide a reading program? Check into that.
If you could have read it, I was simply stating what the president and Mr. Dodd have been saying. “America’s health care is broken and we must fix it.” Yet members of congess have a great insurance plan most American dream about. Also after 5 years, they get a pension. Where else but congress would you get a that after only 5 years?
We have the best health care in the world. It is the insurance we have a problem with. A minority of people want it but just don’t want to pay for it.
I was saying that since Sen. Dodd has said how bad our health care system is, he should go to another country for treatment. Of course he won’t because he like all good liberals lie and tell lies about their lies. He knows we have the best and brightest here. And it would be foolish to do that.
This phony health care crisis is a way for liberals to get votes from people who only care about your vote.
When I was growing up in the 60’s, my parents had Medical Insurance. It did not pay doctor visits, labs or meds. It was in case a family had an expensive medical need. It kept families from going bankrupt.
If health care is a right, then why does the government not buy my food, make my house payment and buy my clothes?
At the end of the day I wish Sen. Dodd a complete recovery. I don’t hate him, I just hate his politics.
Klo don’t twist my words.
How many klo’s did they catch you with that got you sent to prison?

do you go with a male or female doctor for this exam?
lol
August 1st, 2009 at 12:58 am
if you get a prostate exam from a male doctor, does it make you gay?
i’m sorry, but women have to put up with far worse, soooooooo all i can say is … justice!
August 1st, 2009 at 1:01 am
ok last one …
is the doctor’s hand postion in this picture correct?
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/10054.jpg
does the doctor give you a cigarette afterwards?
that would be the best job ever!
“person: so, what do you do for a living?”
“dr. lisa: i make men extremely uncomfortable”
August 1st, 2009 at 1:06 am
Lisa, I’m considering switching to a gay doctor my sister recommended. He’s the best in the area. But ask me to cough twice and I’m bolting bigtime.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:28 am
see now i would have thought the gay male doctor would be the best at it
August 1st, 2009 at 1:29 am
why do they ask you to cough?
is that code?
August 1st, 2009 at 1:33 am
“Cough” is not code. In this case it means what it says.
August 1st, 2009 at 4:45 am
My female NP asked me at the age of 48 if I was ready for a prostate exam.
I told her only if we could take turns.
She told me I could wait ’til 50.
