Sen. Burdick in Hospital for Tests
FARGO, N.D. — U.S. Sen. Quentin N. Burdick (D-N.D.) was undergoing tests today in a hospital where he was taken by ambulance after complaining that he was not feeling well, an aide said.
Burdick, 80, was admitted to St. Luke’s Hospitals about 10 p.m. Sunday, said Tom Stallman, an assistant in the senator’s Fargo office. Burdick had a portion of his colon removed in August at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland because of cancer and was hospitalized in Fargo a year ago after slipping on ice and hurting his head. He was reelected to the Senate on Nov. 8.
