It’s was just revealed about an hour ago that Representative Dave Reichert WA-03 has been hospitalized in D.C. for a Subdural Hematoma, (the same unrealized injury that killed Natasha Richardson). Current indicators are that he is expected to make a full recovery and will be released from the hospital in a few days.
The cause of the injury was vague, and the only information given was that it was do to an unspecified minor head injury. Certainly we all hope that Rep. Reichert is okay.
These kinds of health scares are not minor things and they can be life-changing. These shocks can definitely change a person’s entire outlook on life.
At this point there is no current affirmation whether Rep. Reichert will continue his run for reelection, but he could very well be reevaluating it during this period of recovery, depending on whether any long-term damage occurred.
I hope Representative Reichert is able to make a full recovery, and more information should arrive shortly.

wa-08?
are the same, aren’t they? Anyway, I wish Congressman Reichert a speedy recovery!
I really hope he recovers well and is back to his normal life as soon as possible.
Maybe it’s a bad time to bring this up, but notice how none of us are wishing death on this guy, unlike what certain right-wingers have done with our congresscritters in recent days since the HCR vote. Hmm…
Reichert is 59; he’ll turn 60 in August.
