I’m not sure there’d be anything wrong with this if it’s true. But this snippet from the latest piece on Harry Whittington struck me as curious …

White House physicians who attended to Whittington at the scene after Cheney accidentally shot him were involved in the treatment, the officials said.

In context, the ‘treatment’ referred to seems to be the cardiac catheterization performed after the heart attack. So there’s still a team of White House physicians treating Whittington.

Late Update: Not long after I ran this post the text of the graf above was changed to: “Banko said cardiologists at the hospital were consulting with White House doctors because the doctors had first treated Whittington after Cheney accidentally shot him on a Texas ranch.”
