New Book: Jill Biden Screamed, Kicked Out Priest During President Joe Biden's Suffering From Brain Aneurysm

According to a new biography about the First Lady, Joe Biden was so unwell after suffering an aneurysm three decades ago that a priest read him his last rites. In 1988, Joe Biden was brought to the hospital with a bulging artery supplying blood to the right side of his brain, which may have resulted in a stroke.

Joe Biden, then 45, had been neglecting warning signals for weeks and was taking 10 Tylenol each day to deal with the headaches. His physicians were so concerned about his condition that they requested a priest to deliver the sacrament to Biden, a devout Catholic, and a nurse warned his wife, Jill Biden, not to enter the room when it was being administered.

Per Daily Mail, the first lady reacted angrily when physicians thought Joe Biden's condition so critical that a priest was sent to administer the sacrament to the devout Catholic.

The narrative adds to the story of Biden's near-death experience, which makes him the oldest president in history at 79 years old. Since announcing his candidacy for president in 2020, he has been hounded by questions about his health and cognitive ability.

Donald Trump branded Joe Biden "Sleepy Joe" because of his lethargic delivery. Since he was in charge, Joe Biden has made a series of gaffes, the most recent of which was referring to Iranians instead of Ukrainians in his State of the Union speech. Joe Biden's brush with death in 1988 was more serious than people may have imagined, according to Julie Pace and Darlene Superville, executive editor and White House writer for the Associated Press, in their book "Jill: A Biography of the First Lady."

Jill Biden mistook Joe Biden's difficulties on the campaign trail for the strain of the election, which ended in shambles when Joe Biden was accused of plagiarizing his campaign speeches. To manage his headaches, the now-president was said to be taking up to ten Tylenol each day. Joe Biden was working out when he allegedly felt a searing ache in his neck, which left his right side paralyzed and his legs feeling "heavy," as per The Sun.

He thought he'd had a heart attack but pushed through the agony, telling Jill Biden he'd strained a muscle so she wouldn't be scared. Joe Biden, though, passed out at the foot of his bed after making a speech at the University of Rochester and didn't wake up for another five hours.

When his brother Jimmy insisted on seeing a doctor, Joe Biden was admitted to the hospital. When Jill Biden arrived at the hospital and learned that Joe Biden was being given last rites, she stormed into the room and insisted that the priest leave, which he did, according to reports.

After that, Joe Biden was transported to surgery, where physicians discovered the aneurysm, which might have killed him if left untreated any longer. The president has previously recalled the event, claiming that he was on the verge of death at the time but was given a "second chance at life."
