Hmmm... I have frontal lobe brain damage from a stroke suffered after a ruptured brain aneurysm. I've been reluctant to mention it in connection with Biden bc truly his cognitive issues could be totally age/dementia related. But many of his gaffes and his temper remind me of issues I had bad in the early years of my injury. I've learned to control the temper but the language gaffes will still happen if I get too tired. I could never pull off running for a campaign.

Initially it was coiled but the coiling failed and a year later I went back to have a Pipeline Embolization Device put in. The PED is essentially a stent but for whatever reason they don't call it that. The PED worked and the aneurysm was finally closed off.

In general the options for fixing a brain aneurysm are coiling, packing with medical plaster or the PED. The first two require a craniotomy, the PED is done endovascularly.

edit: PED and coiling are endovascular, plaster stuff requires a craniotomy.

While this is interesting information you should probably delete the post. It could put your brother in law and/or his friend in a position where they might lose their job or reputation if this got into the wrong hands, due to patient confidentiality.

I had this concern too. Luckily, everything stated in this chat as shown is public knowledge. He says "just ask Bob" and could veer into HIPAA violation as it's potential talk of who did what treatment, but as long as they ask a brain surgeon for the details on the type of aneurysms he's publicly known to have had, not Biden specifically, we're in the clear. That's sharing general knowledge, not patient-specific.

Why should I delete? The post states my sister's husband knows the doc that performed a surgery that is public knowledge. No specific knowledge about the surgery just that the surgeon is not well regarded amongst peers. I don't think that qualifies as a HIPAA violation.

Correct. All's good :)

I love that first response:

"I don't think it's hoes fault"

Technically not a Freudian slip but he still saw it and decided not to bother correcting it. A pedocrat like Joepedo can rightly be called a hoe, yes. Let's not be sexist about it!

Prudent but JoePedos past brain surgeries are well known events.

DNC is trying to hide him away. I really want to see his debate on Sunday with Bernie. Bernie will mop the floor with him, ..and when it's DJT vs. Biden, hoo boy.

You just know they're gonna try to cancel any debate and blame it on the Wu Flu.

More sauce if anyone's interested! (Also to make it clear nobody here's violating HIPAA--not a Biden fan but everyone's got privacy rights.)

Sshhh! Don't tell Joepedos that. Let them and Burnouts all think they've got a legitimate chance, fight with all they've got through a brokered convention -

then we crush them with a landslide, and win both houses of Congress.

This is the way

Biden had his second aneurysm surgery in 1988: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/04/us/biden-resting-after-surgery-for-second-brain-aneurysm.html

I wonder if he’s referring to something more recent.
