Former President Jimmy Carter was hospitalized Monday night for a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain caused by bleeding, The Carter Center said in a statement. The bleeding was caused by Mr. Carter's recent falls, the statement explained.
"President Carter is resting comfortably and his wife, Rosalynn, is with him," according to the statement. The procedure will take place Tuesday morning at the Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus said that the procedure is normally quick. "Basically, they're just drilling a small hole in the brain and draining the fluid that is causing the pressure," Agus told CBSN. "So the procedure itself — you could be in the operating room, say, an hour."

did he have one? we already knew the answer!
Horrible president, but a good person.
I think he is trying to make amends for the mistakes
of his past.
Rest easy, sir.
9:43 You can call Carter a horrible president the most lovable peace seeking president we ever had and he lived by example. I bet your an Obama lover a president who is not even a citizen has no birth certificate to prove where he was born and gave us a scam of a medical plan, best friend is Al Sharpton still hasn't paid his taxes and has supported every thug in Chicago and ran down our first responders the 8 yrs he was in office. May you leave the country through the border how about that?
Why did the Dummy think that he had to out and impress someone? The only thing positive I see about Jimmy Carter is that he was a hard worker unlike the Socialist Democrats of today.
Even though he was a Liberal I sincerely think he had a good heart.

I stand by my comment that he was a lousy president.
The Carter years saw high inflation, high unemployment and high gas prices.
My family was homeless for a brief period of time during these years.
I can honestly say he was one of worst, but Obama far far worse!
I support my president and I think Trump will go down as one of our greatest presidents along with Reagan!
Sorry to disappoint you ahole!!!!
If he only had a brain....
Agreed.
I remember my father said the same thing. Believe me, my father was a conservative republican and he did not like Carter as a president but respected him as a Christian man. My father rarely said anything nice about democrats, that's why I remember. It was during the Iranian hostage crisis.
