https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/08/politics ... index.htmlJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fractured three ribs after falling in her Supreme Court office Wednesday night, the Supreme Court said in a statement.
According to the statement, Ginsburg, 85, experienced discomfort after going home following the fall and was admitted to George Washington University Thursday morning for observation and treatment.
As one of the court's older members, Ginsburg's health has become the subject of much attention in recent years.
In November 2014, she underwent a heart procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery, and in 2009, she was treated for early stages of pancreatic cancer.
In 1999, just six years after being sworn in as an associate justice, Ginsburg successfully underwent surgery to treat colon cancer.
Ginsburg, who has served on the high court since 1993, is an icon among progressives.
Oh, boy. I wonder who Trump would nominate if he gets a shot at a 3rd justice for Supreme Court?

Democrats are going to spend the 2020 primary hotly debating whether to pursue minor differences in a center-left agenda that, even if they could pass it, the Supreme Court will strike down as a far-right super-legislature.

Oof! I cracked a rib once along with tearing an intercostal muscle. Crap was painful as all get-out. Coughing and sneezing were absolutely terrifying.
I can't even imagine what three would be like, with being elderly ta'boot. Hopefully this doesn't end up depressing her breathing too much, leading to pneumonia.

I know right? he is already busy with the cornucopia of federal judge nominees that ste forthcoming for this much friendlier Senate...Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be the polish on the judicial silver platter the Democrats are serving to Trump courts already.

That's not what it says. It doesn't say that cancer nodules formed from her fall.
It says they were discovered
during her examination after her fall/rib fracture.

Right here
Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were discovered incidentally during tests she received while being treated for rib fractures sustained in a fall last month. Both nodules were found to be malignant during an initial evaluation.
Don't make me do this again. I was sitting here all chill and whatnot.

Oh get out the soap box and be done with it.
You don't get lung cancer from breaking your flippin' ribs. If there's any connection at all, it's cancer that has metastastized.
It's too late for this.

D'oh! You're right, of course. I read the article and for some reason I came away with the notion that the fractures contributed to her cancer nodules.
I stand corrected!
Googling a bit here is her typical workout routine:
