Cheney Visits Orthopedist in Colorado (or not)

[Rose Siding]

VAIL, Colo. -- Vice President Dick Cheney visited a renowned orthopedist Friday while in town for a forum held by a conservative think tank, his spokeswoman said.

Cheney met with Dr. Richard Steadman to evaluate an old football injury to his knee, Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.

Steadman focuses primarily on sports medicine, and his Steadman Hawkins Clinic has treated a number of famous athletes. In 2003, Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant was in Vail for knee surgery at the clinic when he was accused of raping a hotel worker.

Edit- The Huffington Post reports...

Vice President Dick Cheney was taken to the cardiac unit of the Vail
Valley Medical Center soon after his plane landed at a nearby airport
this Friday. Contrary to Associated Press reports that he went to see
orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steadman, for a knee injury, Vice President
Cheney passed through the orthopedic center directly to the cardiac
unit to see Dr. Jack Eck and his team. The Vice President checked
into the hospital under the name of Dr. Hoffman.

6. Be a great opportunity for ole dicky doodoo to show his support

and his unwavering faith in the drug companies he loves so much. Vioxx, write that man a prescription for lots of Vioxx. Not to worry dicky, it's safe enough, right? The FDA would never knowingly make a dangerous drug available to the public. Unlimited refills of course.

Wouldn't want poor dicky doodoo to agonize and suffer with a painful knee now would we :evilgrin:
