"Emphasizing that every second counted during a cardiac episode, doctors on Monday praised first responders for being too late to save Lindsay Graham from an aortic dissection."

The praise came despite the fatal outcome, with medical officials lauding the paramedics for their precisely timed delay. The Onion further reported that the first responders were commended for missing the very short window in which intervention was possible.

"Paramedics had a very short window to save Sen. Graham, and thankfully they did not arrive in time,"

Democratic Underground carried the same headline, amplifying the story. Neither outlet provided additional details on the incident's location or Graham's condition beyond the cardiac episode.
