Dr. Polaski should have fixed him better
Geek alert!!!
Captain Picard, aka Patrick Stewart, underwent angioplasty yesterday, but he is fine and recovering well. The only thing I could think of was the heart ailment he had on TNG from being stabbed by some weirdo alien while he was in the academy and how Dr. Polaski didn't fix him right the first time or this wouldn't have happened.
LOS ANGELES - "X-Men" star Patrick Stewart is recovering at home after undergoing an angioplasty procedure earlier this week to widen an artery, his publicist said Friday.
Angioplasty involves the use of catheters to place a small balloon in a narrowed blood channel. When the balloon is inflated, the artery flows more freely.
The 64-year-old Stewart — who played Professor Xavier in "X-Men" and its sequel, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" — went in for an annual physical on Monday, according to his publicist, Kelly Bush.
Doctors detected a blood-flow problem and recommended "pre-emptive angioplasty" to head off any future ailments.
Bush described the procedure as a success and said he is resting before returning to work next week, where he plans to finish the upcoming movie "The Game of Their Lives." He will also start voice over work on the Fox TV animated series "American Dad."
However, Stewart's recovery will force him to miss a planned personal appearance on Saturday in Toronto, where he was set to visit a Canadian sci-fi festival.
Canadian TNG geeks will be saddened and I'm sure they'll be talking about the precise episode number of his surgery as well as the name of the alien race in question. I'm a dork, but not quite to that level. Give me time.
