As an exclusive only here, something is definitely wrong with ex President Jimmy Carter.
One does not cause an emergency landing of a jet with stomach problems and then have one day of observation which now turns into a second night of observation, without there being a major medical situation occurring.
Unlike Rush Limbaugh, who does not watch Charlie Rose, I actually do in order to gain intelligence information. Jimmy Carter was the taped guest on that program and he looked quite well for an old hypocrite blathering on about how good Persian Islamocommunists are and how friendly the North Korean cannibals are.
His eyes were bright and his mind clear. His vital signs in gum color to nails revealed no underlying problems and yet Jimmy is in a Cleveland hospital.
One can defer certain things as the medical community proceeds on definite cause and effect. They run blood, urine and electronic monitoring the first hours, along with prodding and poking to make pain occur in areas which are painful.
Stomach disorders divulge appendicitis, heart attack, cancer, or various pancreatic situations to ulcers from medications.
The next step are x rays on day one, and the day one x rays it is concluded by a day two observation into day three, is that something was found inside Jimmy Carter which was not supposed to be there.
CT scans to PET scans are the next step. Mr. Carter might have already had the CT scan on day one, so I will assume something is a mystery, and it must be looked at with the most definitive scan in the PET.
PET's, which I will assume Cleveland has as it is the major hospital there, requires a human to fast for at least 12 hours. This points to why Jimmy Carter is being held for another day, as PET's require a radioactive sugar, which is given in an IV, to literally make the human body a photographic plate in a Polaroid moment.
In noting that the hospital did not ship out Mr. Carter to the Mayo Clinic, also notes that the ex President has some problem which is causing concern about putting him at altitude again and transporting him.
It is puzzling as that should point to a heart condition, but that should have shown on EKG's and a barium or radioactive fluid should have already been administered to view blood flow.
The new CT scans can even show a body in motion and are quite remarkable, so the physicians seem to be looking for something they can not get a handle on, and are consulting with outside doctors who are using the "robot" or the community medical scanners which connect data to anyone anywhere.
The Cleveland doctors are looking for something which needs the most advanced methods. This points to something in a major way has struck Jimmy Carter. The silence of the media in only providing hushed updates on second night observations, reveals they are all reviewing already the morgue files they have on all notables so Jimmy Carter's last memories will not be making a fool of himself on 60 Minutes.
I always wonder at the places people meet the end of the road. No one thinks of emergency landings in Cleveland, and yet Cleveland is the end of the road for numbers of Ohioans.
Jimmy Carter is a media hog, and yet no reporter has been summoned to show his grinning face, which means he is not smiling, and something serious is taking place. Riding in ambulances, then in good spirits, and just doing things for precautions............
I would presume even in Cleveland they are doing more than sticking a thermometer up his rear, even if Obama stole the state.
Carter though is fortunate in Obamacare it happened this year and not next year, as Carter would have had to drive to a physician of Obama's choice, see them sometime next month and then wait a year and a half for treatment.
I doubt though if Jimmy is bedding down in the hall and handed a mop to clean up his own room.
But then it makes a Carter sized splash I suppose in promoting his new book. Some people just write a good book like Sarah Palin and people buy it.
So we have the Iran hostage rescue replay, but this time in Cleveland. If Jimmy is sick, his chopper is down, but I doubt he will be pissed on by an Ayatollah.
I wonder if chapter and verse will help book sales?

Mamma knows but she don't care
She's got her worries too
Seven kids and a phoneo player
And the rent is due
All the little chicks with their crimson lips
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
Livin' in sin with a safety pin
Go "Cleveland rocks!", "Cleveland rocks!"
Three four, three four
Presidents of the United States
