Glenn Beck forced to leave Wednesday's radio show by an attack of appendicitis

Published on Wednesday, November 04, 2009

The sudden and severe pain hit him live, during his Premiere Radio-syndicated program, and led to an emergency appendectomy. Beck missed his early-evening Fox News Channel show and will presumably be off the air while he recuperates. Complications from Beck’s January 2008 hemorrhoid surgery produced a much-viewed YouTube clip taped at a hospital, where a woozy Glenn Beck rambled on about the poor medical care and the pain he was enduring.
