Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh held a press conference from his Honolulu hospital room revealing his "pain was real" but the source of the pain still unknown.
"The pain was real, and they don't know what caused it," Limbaugh said during the on-site press conference.
Those in conference attendance asked if Rush Limbaugh was treating the pain with painkillers to which Limbaugh said "no". The question most likely spawned from Rush Limbaugh's situation In 2003 in which he acknowledged an addiction to pain killers for nagging back pain.
In the same press conference interview, FOXNews.com quotes Rush Limbaugh as saying he got the best health treatment in the world "right here in the United States of America." He added, "I don't think there's one thing wrong with the United States health system," Limbaugh said coining in on his political views.
Of the pains endured by Rush, his doctor said "those pains were the kind of pains that makes one feel like he has a heart attack coming on, but it's not been confirmed that it was a heart attack" - A statement that shocked fans and worried some.

And here I thought baby jesus himself was delivering us a Christmas miracle!! Damn.
I am so glad to hear that Rush didn't have a heart attack! (I know that because my dad is a doctor in the ER and told me that if he had a heart attack, doctors at the hospital would be able to tell.) I hope to hear him on the radio Monday. You liberals ought to be ashamed of yourself (Clarissa) for wishing Rush dead. It just proves to us how nice you democrats really are.
A kid gets hurt on the beach and it becomes worldwide news. Wonder where Rush got the idea? Rush faked it for the ratings.
Sorry but if he doesn't lose weight he clearly will be going that way. He's too fat! But I'm sure as folks are starving, homeless, and losing jobs by the minute, I'm sure Rush can't tear himself away from the table... I'm happy he's okay... but this is a wake up call, exercise!
"a" clearly does not understand the media bias against conservatives. Every photo of Rush shown by the mainstream news media show years old photos. He has lost approximately 100 lbs or more since the photo shown with this article. It is a deliberate attempt to diminish him by making him appear deserving of his supposed heart disease fate.
