17:04 - 25 June, 2005 Vice President Dick Cheney was taken to the cardiac unit of the Vail Valley Medical Center. Contrary to Associated Press reports that he went to see orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steadman, for a knee injury, Vice President Cheney went directly to the cardiac unit to see Dr. Jack Eck and his team. The Vice President checked into the hospital under the name of Dr. Hoffman. Posted June 24, 2005 10:06 PM http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thenewswire/archive/2005/... Here is the AP article: Cheney Visits Orthopedist in Colorado By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VAIL, Colo. (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney visited a renowned orthopedist Friday while in town for a forum held by a conservative think tank, his spokeswoman said. Cheney met with Dr. Richard Steadman to evaluate an old football injury to his knee, Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said. Steadman focuses primarily on sports medicine, and his Steadman Hawkins Clinic has treated a number of famous athletes. In 2003, Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant was in Vail for knee surgery at the clinic when he was accused of raping a hotel worker. Cheney was scheduled to attend the American Enterprise Institute World Forum, which was started in 1982 by former President Gerald Ford. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Cheney-Doct... edit to also add Arianna's earlier post on this: Is Cheney Alright? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
