| People concerned about Ginsburg's fall are offering their ribs and organs |
| 2018-11-09 |
| [Kansas City Star] Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, fractured three ribs in a fall in her office Wednesday night, according to a statement from the Supreme Court’s public information office. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on the left side," the statement said. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital. Ginsburg has survived several fights with cancer and had heart surgery in 2014, according to CNBC. She has beaten pancreatic and colon cancer, the two deadliest forms of the disease. People, especially younger people, were offering the octogenarian affectionately known as RBG their own ribs on social media Thursday morning. They even started the hashtag #RibsForRuth on Twitter. |
