Justice Ginsburg Released from Hospital, Ready for Work
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg plans to be back at work this afternoon after being released from the hospital.
Ginsburg was admitted to Washington Hospital Center yesterday evening as a precaution after reporting that she felt faint. She was released this morning, according to The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times and the Associated Press.
Ginsburg reported feeling faint while working in chambers just before 5 p.m. yesterday. She had received an intravenous iron treatment for anemia earlier in the day. Ginsburg’s blood pressure was found to be slightly low, which is an effect of the treatment.
Ginsburg had surgery for pancreatic cancer in February, but she was back at the court less than three weeks later. Ginsburg had a comprehensive medical exam in July and was found to be in normal health, with the exception of a low red blood cell count caused by iron deficiency, according to a statement released by a Supreme Court spokeswoman.
