AP. 13 January 2002. President Faints at White House. WASHINGTON -- President Bush fainted briefly in the White House residence Sunday after choking on a pretzel while watching a National Football League playoff game on television, White House physician Dr. Richard Tubb said. The doctor, an Air Force colonel, said Bush quickly recovered and is doing well. "I do not find any reason that this would happen again," said Tubb. "He fainted due to a temporary decrease in heart rate brought on by swallowing a pretzel." Tubb said Bush suffered an abrasion on his left cheek the size of a half dollar and a bruise on his lower lip, apparently from falling onto the floor from a couch. Bush was alone in the room watching TV while his wife, first lady Laura Bush, was in a nearby room on the telephone. Tubb said Bush believes he was out only for a few seconds because when he awoke, his two dogs were sitting in the same position they were when he lost consciousness. "He said it (the pretzel) didn't seem to go down right," Tubb said. Bush was watching the Baltimore-Miami game when the indicent occurred. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
