THK Hospitalized, then released
2004-09-04
I'm OK John, just nauseated at those mounting negative poll numbersTeresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, was treated and released at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa Saturday night after becoming ill during a campaign stop here earlier in the day. Heinz Kerry, 65, was talking about health care issues with guests at the home of Steve Musson, 428 First St. S.E., Saturday afternoon when she stopped, put her hands to her head and said, "I don't feel well,"
"Those @#$%^&*()_ poll numbers from Time & Newsweek."
Stress probably and what is on her mind - Not wanting to be cruel, but trying to theorize all the hospital trips, and midnight rides. Geeeeez
according to Globe Gazette photographer Arian Schuessler. She then said something about her medication, Schuessler said.
"Quick, Gilligan! My pills!"
An aide told the media, "cameras off." In less than a minute, Schuessler said, Heinz Kerry regained her composure and resumed talking for about 45 minutes. She and her entourage, including Secret Service agents, then headed for Mason City Municipal Airport for her departure on a twin-engine jet. At the airport, Secret Service requested an ambulance so that her vital signs could be checked. Mrs. Kerry, who had been in the plane, walked to the ambulance unassisted. She was transported to the hospital by the Mason City Fire Department Ambulance at about 6 p.m. She remained at the hospital for about three hours, undergoing routine tests after complaining of an upset stomach, according to a spokesman for the Kerry campaign.
STRESS. Bad poll number corroberated(sp?)
Her plane took off from Mason City Municipal Airport at 9:09 p.m., headed to Heinz Kerry's home in Pittsburgh. Heinz Kerry was visiting her fourth Iowa city in two days. She had earlier stopped in Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Des Moines, talking about rising health care costs and shrinking coverage.
