Justice Ginsburg enters hospital

The Washington Post reports that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to the hospital yesterday when she got sick after being treated for an iron deficiency.
Ginsburg, 76, “developed light headedness and fatigue” in her chambers about an hour after receiving an iron sucrose infusion, according to a statement from the court. A court physician determined that Ginsburg’s blood pressure was slightly low and administered fluids. Ginsburg’s symptoms improved, the court said, but the justice was taken to the hospital as a precaution at 7:45 p.m. She was expected to remain there overnight Thursday.
Justice Ginsburg battled pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Please send good thoughts her way.
