Dick Cheney, 69, now has a pump next to his left ventricle which is pumping blood because his heart can't do the job anymore. He has a battery and needs to be recharged every night to keep him alive. (Oh, if he only went camping and got stranded for 5 weeks...) Funny thing about the pump, it makes it so there is virtually no pulse or heart beat in a number of the patients. It's kind of like a pump for circulating water in a fish tank.
He had his first heart attack at 37 years old. He has had a total of 5 heart attacks. Yup, 5. His heart surgeon was shocked that Cheney was still alive. Well, as the movies prove:
Evil doesn't die.
Think about the world. What would it be like if he had died 32 years ago? The Middle East would be quite different. The Iraq War would probably never have happened even if 9/11 had happened. And 9/11 might never have happened if the President, which might not have been Shrub, had paid attention to the intelligence reports about flight schools... Also he and Rumsfeld, back in the early 80's, came up with a manifesto for dealing with the Mid East that got us where we are today.
5 heart attacks can't kill this man, and I know someone who died at 40 from heart failure. But he was a good guy.
