Walking down the hospital hallway, Jill saw a nurse sitting guard at a table and was told not to go in — the priest was inside giving last rites. She opened the door anyway and ordered the priest out. [1] — Dr. Jill Biden "Get out, get out. My husband is not dying. Get out." 18:35 There was no reasoning behind it beyond a fierce conviction: God would not take Joe from children who had already lost their mother. The priest left. Joe survived surgery and spent approximately seven months at Walter Reed. Jill commuted almost two hours after teaching each day to be at his bedside. The surgeon, Dr. George, warned her and the boys that Joe might not make it; Joe told Beau and Hunter that if he died, he wanted them to take care of their mother. He lived. And when he recovered, he ran for president again.
