All partisanship aside I sincerely wish her well and hope that she recovers quickly. The pause/hesitation at the end of the title of the thread is due to something not mentioned in the Reuters report above. The reaction from some to the news

You can't donate ribs. But this is kinda cute. And a little weird.

Was she drunk again? https://www.politico.com/story/2015/...ol-sotu-115172

I can't believe the ignorance of people who think they can donate ribs. And how many do they think she needs, that they have to start a donation drive for it?

Maybe they have spare ribs.

They are called Democrats, and in this country we actually let them vote.

Then I don't know who is stupider, the ones who are donating their ribs or the ones who let them vote.

Maybe some of the offers are less than serious, not unlike those hilarious jokesters who think that vaccines cause autism.

I have no idea what you're trying to convey here, since anti-vaxxers are dead serious in their thinking.

We've clearly got posters here who have a bone to pick with Ginsburg.

I would like to think that the people aren't being serious, but I'm afraid there are people who really think they could donate a rib. Just like, yes, the anti-vaxxers are dead serious.

I'm actually not sure in principle why one could not, in fact, donate a rib. I mean, in reality it's much easier to just heal the broken one, but....

I was skeptical, but.. whelp, I did find this:

Rib Removal
Dr. Dorner performs rib removal surgery in Columbus, OH. Rib removal surgery improves the contours and definition of the waist by narrowing it just above the hips. By removing the lower three ribs, the waistline contracts and is further defined.

What are the benefits of rib removal?
Patients in good health who are not able to reduce their waist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise may benefit from this procedure. Rib removal results in a tighter waistline with improved curves. Often patients get liposuction at the same time to enhance the contour even more. This procedure improves the feminine appearance and is popular not only with women, but also transgender patients who want more of an hourglass figure.

What is the procedure for rib removal?
The operation takes about three hours and is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Most patients will go home the same evening. The surgery involves making two small incisions on either side of lower back to access the ribs. These incisions are very small and fade over time.

There is a moderate amount of discomfort related to the rib removal procedure, with some patients experiencing lingering soreness for up to six weeks. However, most people are back to normal activities within two weeks.

So.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
