Dr. Walter E. Williams, guest-hosting Rush Limbaugh’s radio show today, said Limbaugh continues to rest comfortably at The Queen’s Medical Center.

Limbaugh was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon after experiencing chest pains while vacationing at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
A transcript on Limbaugh’s Web site quotes Williams as saying Limbaugh “had a comfortable night’s rest and is getting good medical attention.”
“Yesterday ... let me go back a little bit,” Williams says. “Yesterday, Wednesday, he was taken to a hospital in Honolulu after complaining of chest pains. Those pains were the kind of pains that makes one feel like he has a heart attack coming on, but it's not been confirmed that it was a heart attack.
“Today, Thursday, he'll have a complete examination and we'll know more. And we'll keep everyone informed when there's information to share. We just don’t have a lot of information to share right now. Know this, though: Rush is in good and stable condition, comfortable — as comfortable as one can be in a hospital while on vacation — and he’s in good hands.”
Williams said updates on Limbaugh’s condition will be posted as they become available on RushLimbaugh.com.
