Mayor Morrison hospitalized with brain aneurysm: update

UPDATE: Pocomoke officials said Mayor Bruce Morrison came through surgery “better than expected.” Morrison reportedly suffered a brain aneurysm Wednesday morning and was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, then transferred to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware.

Pocomoke Mayor Bruce Morrison underwent emergency surgery for a brain aneurysm on Wednesday after reportedly losing consciousness earlier that day.

Town officials said Morrison was rushed from his home by ambulance to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury at about 2:30 a.m.

Doctors at the hospital diagnosed Morrison with a brain aneurysm and attempted to have him helicoptered over to Baltimore for treatment, but heavy fog stymied the effort, town officials said.

At about 6:30 a.m., town officials said the decision was made to move the mayor by ambulance to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware.

No further updates on the mayor’s condition were available Wednesday morning.

Very telling that PRMC can't handle anything more serious than a papercut.

PRMC is a little short on neuro services these days.
