(135,425 posts)He has a broken bone in his vertebrae in his neck but it was not life threatening McGrath said. He is in a hospital in Portland, Maine, and is very stable.
McGrath said he was never disoriented.
We are not expecting a long stay, McGrath said.

He has to have top flight, top tier medical care. Old Bush not like the millions of 'regular Americans' who have to care for their totally dependent, disabled loved ones alone.
Or even worse stuck in some nursing home with a $7 an hour sadist to 'oops dropped the frail elder on the floor.'
