    “Shatner was taken to a local hospital to get checked out, with the source saying the actor was good and resting comfortably.”

    That article is like a full on obituary. I don’t like it.

        If you told me my 94 year old grandma was resting comfortably, I would be packing bags and checking flights.

          If you told me my 94 year old grandpa was doing anything other than putzing around in the yard, garage or woodshop I’d be in my car blowing through red lights.

            Frequently that phrase is used when there’s “nothing more they can do” but have given a lot of pain meds.

        The phrase isn’t worrisome unless the patient is in hospice. To me it just means he was seen by medical professionals and is chilling in a hospital bed while they double check labs and such. Been there, done that.

      If you’re a celebrity over the age of about 70, I assume every media outlet already has your obituary ready to go and just update them if you do anything notable like winning an Oscar or getting done for noncing.
