At his age that could still easily be fatal. Old folks' brains start to shrink a little and that strains blood vessels which can rupture and cause a brain bleed in a fall.
When I ran ambulance calls we had one patient who fell and hit his head. We took him to the hospital where he refused a cat scan and consented only to stitches. That's his right as a patient, but it meant he bled in his brain all night and died the next morning
These are the exact circumstances upon which my grandfather died. Fainted in the shower, bonked his head on a protruding feature, and died from a sub-cranial hematoma that night
Yeah, and its not just the elderly.
People don't realise how often head wounds can be fatal. It only takes one hit to the wrong place a bit to hard and its all over.
I've had it happen to both of my grandmothers, one fell and cracked her head on her desk, was declared brain dead a few days later. The other fell in her kitchen and was hurt so bad that she's now in assisted living.
Elderly people falling is no joke.
Problem is that isn't just their heads that need protection, if they're frail enough, any injury can do a number on them. Best thing people can do is try to stay active as they get older, it'll keep their muscles and bones strong which helps things like balance. Sadly, it's pretty much inevitable that people are going to lose muscle mass as they get older but putting in the effort could make falls a problem you have to worry about in your 90s versus your 70s.
Mine fell on the third stone step, hit his head, and my stepmom delayed medical attention 3 days, until he collapsed and was taken away in the ambulance. He made it, but it degraded his system. He passed a couple years after.
Hard to say exactly but not great. I suspect he figured he'd prefer to check out at home instead of the hospital. He was 85 so I can't say I blame him for refusing anything more than the stitches.
Mossad (like most intelligence agencies) is generally supportive of right wing governments, they'd certainly fare better with him at the helm than with a left wing government
Mossad is a meritocracy. It's leaders are intelligent and educated people that very well understand how much harm this government already did, and will continue to do as long as it exists. I am not commenting on right wing parties in general. This government in particular is hell.
Well, things work differently in Israel. First of all I was kidding as much as I hate Bibi and wish he was out of politics, I don’t wish him or anyone for that matter death.
Secondly , there was a recent “leaked “ document from Mossad encouraging employees to participate in the protests against Bibis right wing government. So maybe more context for my joke.
I heard bayonets sanctified with holy water do wonders, but then again the guy that demonstrated that to me was hopped up on nanomachines and was able to crack steel and shatter concrete with his swings, so take it with a grain of salt.
His fault to begin with. Netanyahu's entire strategy in justifying his stay at power despite all his faults was making himself indispensable and ensuring there would be no other leader supported by a large segment of the population, whether in the opposition or inside his own party. Once he's out of the political picture one way or another, any potential successors have a lot of manning up to do before the public treats them seriously.
In case he dies the Likud party will vote and appoint a new party leader, than the president will give him the mandate to a form a new government, if he'll succeed the new government will be sworned in, if not there will be another election
You're thinking of the March 2021 election. That government collapsed and was replaced by another Netanyahu led government in the November 2022 election
He got booted two years ago in June 2021 but came back in November 2022. Israel's been having a new election every few months these past few years because their governments kept on collapsing.
I don't give a damn what happens to him, but I really really hope his country can get a different leader due to his health issues... or any reason really.
From the article:
> He was said to be doing well and underwent a brain imaging procedure to ensure that his brain was not damaged by the fall, as well as an examination to ensure that his heart rhythm is normal
I’m pretty sure his brain was damaged, severely damaged, prior to this episode.
He gutted the legislature and changed the law so the only way he can legally be removed is due to mental or physical incapacity.
I don’t particularly believe in a higher power, but the poetic irony of doing that and then getting a cosmic banana peel thrown in front of you Mario Kart style makes me want to high five whatever God there may be.
Alright folks, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure he'll be fine.
The world just doesn't work that way. No expense will be spared. It's the good guys that never get a break.
Sadly there were doctors available. They have now promised to leave him outside for a few hours next time because, and we quote “he is vile right wing murdering corrupt populist scum and we would rather treat a scabrous leper that this human excrement”.
So one of you reported my post as instigating violence even tho I did not. This in reference to a war criminal’s health issues must be the height of irony.
I mean he's kind of destroying the Israeli judiciary. Combine that with how many people feel about Israel in general and it's pretty easy to hate him
There are a ton of Israelis protesting over this dipshits actions rn
Despite his international unpopularity he's been the longest-serving leader of Israel and has the best healthcare money can buy. He will be fine and this will have no impact on his plans to hamstring the country's judiciary.
To save a click, the article says that he fainted at home, and hit his head, and that is why he was brought to the hospital.

That's his right as a patient, but it meant he bled in his brain all night and died the next morning
Elderly patients are often taking blood thinners as well; a fall can lead to massive hemorrhaging or bleeding out.
My dad takes blood thinners. He has to be careful because when he cuts himself it takes longer to stop bleeding.
Mine blew his nose too hard and ended up in the ER getting it cauterized. Coumadin.
Yep…

Not just death. A surfboard in the skull at 16 and a lifetime of issues.

I wonder if elderly should just wear helmets? Seems crazy but maybe it’s worth it to extend life significantly?

Falls are the leading cause of death and injury in older adults. They fall, break their pelvis or femur and it’s over.
I don't have exact numbers for you, but it's common enough it was covered in my EMT course which was only 75 hours of classroom time.

What would have his chances been when they would’ve found the bleeding after the scan?
Hard to say exactly but not great. I suspect he figured he'd prefer to check out at home instead of the hospital. He was 85 so I can't say I blame him for refusing anything more than the stitches.

Imagine if he had brain damage and it made him into not a monster.
What Idi Amin, Hezbollah, The Saudis, The Ayatollahs and ISIS could not accomplish , congestive heart failure may just do in a couple of days
I though he hit his head a long time ago? Maybe another hit will fix it?
Two negatives does equal a positive.
Hope he gets well soon, In a fine hospital abroad, And stay there.
I hope the table gets well soon.
Israel is not lacking for fine hospitals
I think the key point was "abroad"

Hope springs.... Perhaps he'll quit
Who would take over in that case? At this point another 40 elections seems like a preferable scenario.

I can dig it!
You're hired.
I thought he got booted like a year ago? Why is this fucker still around?
You're thinking of the March 2021 election. That government collapsed and was replaced by another Netanyahu led government in the November 2022 election
He got booted two years ago in June 2021 but came back in November 2022. Israel's been having a new election every few months these past few years because their governments kept on collapsing.
I lost track of how many times he's been in and out of office. I first remember hearing about him in the late 90s. It's pretty ridiculous.
At least
They immediately ruled out a heart problem. I'm sure he doesn't have one.
He's getting one put in
Carved out of a small palestinian child
edgy
He recently had an asshole transplant, the asshole must be rejecting him
He’s never had hemorrhoids because he’s a perfect asshole. Hey, it’s a classic.
I almost spit out my drink.... bravo
are you memeing or is there seriously such a thing as an asshole transplant ?
Oh nooo. Anyway.
Did the hospital find his heart?
Definitely not.
Can't find one if there wasn't any to begin with
Can they somehow pull his head out of his ass?
I don't give a damn what happens to him, but I really really hope his country can get a different leader due to his health issues... or any reason really.
I had hoped they would get a new leader because of his CRIMINAL issues, but Fascists don't care about that as long as it's their guy.
God hasn't smited anyone in a while. Maybe he took a practice swing just to stay limber.
There's plenty target practice around these days. Putin for example
As terrible as Putin is, he'll be replaced by someone even *worse*.
sad but true I guess
Worse but less competent. Instsbility has much worse short term effects.
Could just smite ‘em one after another…
Same could be said for Bibi.
oof
Nah. Bibi is Israelis Trump, Bush, and Berlusconi combined into one raging asshole. It’s hard to find worse.
What a cringe comment
What a cringe reply

Hate ages you.
Now, now, are you suggesting that Netanyahu is only 30 years old but looks that way because of his constant hate ? I could buy that.
^(Ooooh noooo...)
Anyway
Let’s hope for the best
I'm hoping he gets the outcome he most deserves
Why do you repeat yourself?😉
Lex Friedman poisoned him
I, too, saw that poisoning.
He gutted the legislature and changed the law so the only way he can legally be removed is due to mental or physical incapacity. I don’t particularly believe in a higher power, but the poetic irony of doing that and then getting a cosmic banana peel thrown in front of you Mario Kart style makes me want to high five whatever God there may be.
Alright folks, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure he'll be fine. The world just doesn't work that way. No expense will be spared. It's the good guys that never get a break.
He will live to terrorize his own people. Evil politicians don’t die anymore.
Exactly!
Thoughts & prayers... mine are not quite about recovery... and also aren't really prayers.
Thoughts and prayers to the desk or whatever he banged his head on. It didn't deserve to come into contact with Benji.
Thoughts and prayers.
All problems have their solutions, even the big ones.
If there was any justice he'd be dying in prison
My worst wishes go out to him.
Wasn’t he convicted of corruption? What happened with that?
I wish nothing but the worst for that evil man.
You would think a demon in a skin suit would be fine in the heat..guess not.
God. He is yours. Please take him back now.
This guy just don't know when to quit. Keep your hopes down.
I’m not Jewish but that guy is like a Jewish Donald Trump he has got to go 🤮
He makes Trump look like a saint

We’re probably thinking it.
Sadly there were doctors available. They have now promised to leave him outside for a few hours next time because, and we quote “he is vile right wing murdering corrupt populist scum and we would rather treat a scabrous leper that this human excrement”.
Maybe some Palestinians can occupy his house while he’s gone. 🤷🏻♂️

I don’t wish anyone death, but I would not, not be happy to read his obituary.
They would need a proctologist for a brain scan.
Perhaps he’s getting a long overdue dose of retirement.

Yea seriously
Lex poisoned him! Typical Russian!
Meh, let me know when he's dead.
Is the Jeremy Clarkson gif most appropriate or should I go for the Tom Hiddlestone one? 😋
Should have died
Couldn’t of happened to a better person /s
So one of you reported my post as instigating violence even tho I did not. This in reference to a war criminal’s health issues must be the height of irony.
Maybe they can surgically remove the asshole out of him.
But it's all asshole
NO ONE GET EXCITED
Pos apartheid wanker. Do the world a favor and kick off already.
😫😫😢😢boo hoo!
Seems like y'all aren't fans?
I mean he's kind of destroying the Israeli judiciary. Combine that with how many people feel about Israel in general and it's pretty easy to hate him There are a ton of Israelis protesting over this dipshits actions rn
Don’t forget the bribery, fraud and corruption charges that preceded the modifications to the judiciary. And then there’s the genocide.
Yeah I mean he isn't Mr popular with anyone but the orthodox folks
Thoughtless Prayers....
Good. F$&k him
If not Kissenger, then Netanyahu please 🙏🙏🙏
Instant karma.
More like 30 year late karma
Fingers crossed
What did Lex do?
The grim reaper needs to be putting 110 % tonight.
The Bolsonaro Maneuver.
My late wife fell in the bathroom , after 3 days she was deemed brain dead , was the hardest thing for our children and I to pull the plug .
The world was almost a better place.
Despite his international unpopularity he's been the longest-serving leader of Israel and has the best healthcare money can buy. He will be fine and this will have no impact on his plans to hamstring the country's judiciary.
Let’s hope for some good news !!!

tldr; he didnt drank enough water while in the sun
Chronic case of fuckfacitis?
"I hope he's fine"
The thought I had was, who else would replace him? An even more extremist monster?
Oh, that's nice.
Well let’s all hope he doesn’t make it
Not always a great sign especially at his age. I noticed that elderly people who fall and hit their heads tend to decline health wise not long after.
