Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, breaks ribs in fall
Hrmmm.... she's a known drinker. Nothing wrong with that. However, at her age and her level of frailty, she's not in the best of health. Although, it's typically a broken hip that gets most of the elderly, broken ribs can lead to shallower breathing and sometimes pneumonia.
I'm guessing she'll recover from this, but I don't think she'll make it to 90.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell in her office and fractured three ribs. The 85-year-old liberal justice was admitted to a hospital Thursday.
...
The fall happened Wednesday evening.
"She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning," the court said in a statement Thursday. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment."
It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the injury to the public until months later. The court said at the time that despite the fracture, Ginsburg "did not skip a beat."
