Corzine Is Taken Off Ventilator
Gov. Jon S. Corzine was taken off the ventilator he has been relying on to breathe for more than a week Friday afternoon, although doctors warned he might need the breathing tube reinserted depending on his pain levels and other potential complications. In a brief written statement issued after 5 p.m., Mr. Corzine's staff said he had been off the ventilator since 12:25 p.m. and breathing on his own since. His doctors were not quoted in the statement, nor did they appear at Cooper University Hospital here to answer questions from reporters. They have given few details about the governor's condition or treatment during the week he has spent in their intensive care unit.
