Send Get-Well Wishes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg!

  • av: Freya H

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fractured three ribs on her left side during a fall Wednesday evening in her office, the Supreme Court said Thursday. The 85-year-old was admitted to a hospital for observation and treatment.

This type of injury tends to be painful because the ribs move with each breath, said CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook, who is not involved in Ginsburg's treatment. "Generally, it just really hurts," he said, but the injury "should get better, if there are no complications." One risk is that shallow breathing caused by pain can lead to the lungs not expanding to a normal extent, which can lead to pneumonia, LaPook said.

Let us send Get Well wishes to Justice Ginsburg and let her know how much we appreciate her!
