Medical personnel wheel a patient into an awaiting ambulance outside the East Front of the U.S. Capitol after the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America in Washington, January 20, 2009. Ailing U.S. Senator Edward
Kennedy (D-MA) collapsed at an inaugural lunch for Democratic President Barack Obama on Tuesday and was evacuated by medical
staff, apparently suffering from convulsions, a congressional aide said. Another senator with medical problems, Democratic Sen.
Robert Byrd, 91, of West Virginia, was sitting next to Kennedy when the Massachusetts lawmaker suffered his apparent seizure,
a Byrd aide said. Byrd sustained no health problem, but his security detail decided to remove him from the luncheon in his wheelchair, said the aide, Jesse Jacobs. REUTERS/John Moore/Pool (UNITED STATES)
