2. I'd like more info. Blood clots don't typically require surgery. My mom and son both had PEs

Treatment is typically clot buster drugs via IV to dissolve the clots and blood thinners after discharge. Of course more severe, larger clots may require surgery but it's not typical so I have to wonder if the claim that he needed surgery was a ploy to stay in the hospital longer.
Anything is possible but it would have been immensely irresponsible and potentially deadly to remove him if surgery was indeed necessary. A PE can go south if left untreated, which brings me to the question of what did they do the 2 days he was in the hospital? If he needed surgery, why were they waiting 2 days to do so??
Not my area of expertise, but that's not making a lot of sense to me. Unless there is more information that we are not privy to.
He is pandering for a pardon from trump so who knows what he's up to.
