12. I have worked in ICU

I have cared for patients who have been "found down" and brought "back" with CPR and this is what I can tell you. Usually they do not survive, but if they do, it is generally in a highly compromised condition, ie, with considerable brain damage and pretty much unable to function. the older they are, and Mitch is 84, the worse their prognosis becomes. It also depends on how long they were "down" and what caused them to become so in the first place. It is generally one of several causes---either a heart attack or severe cardiac arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest, a stroke (could be hemorrhagic or embolic, but in older patients most likely embolic, caused by a clot), an acute or chronic illness that causes hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), a fall resulting in head injury especially if not found for some time, prolonged seizures (aka status epilepticus), or a drug overdose. (We can probably rule out the last one with Mitch)

IF Addison Mitchell McConnell is alive but in such a condition, it is time for the family and the RepubliKKKan party to stop pussyfooting around and playing games. He is either dead or incapacitated, and a successor needs to be named by whatever means are in place, PERIOD. THE END. FIN. FINITO.

The people of Kentucky and and American people deserve answers. NOW.
