Scalise: Doctors did a ‘phenomenal’ job of rebuilding ‘Humpty Dumpty’

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) in his first interview since being shot during a practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game said his doctors did a “phenomenal” job of rebuilding “Humpty Dumpty.” 

“I found out later just how much damage was done internally. You know, I mean, my femur was shattered,” Scalise told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in a clip released Thursday.

“The hip and pelvis had serious damage where the bullet went through and, you know, did some damage to areas that had to be shored up with steel plates, and then they did a phenomenal job of rebuilding … Humpty Dumpty. I mean, there were, there was a lot of damage inside that had to get fixed.”

{mosads}Scalise was shot in June when a gunman opened fire on the GOP practice for the annual charity baseball game. He spent weeks at MedStar Washington Hospital Center following the shooting.

In his first public comments since the attack, Scalise said last week that he was working on his recovery at a rehabilitation center and he “cannot wait” to go home to Louisiana.

His full interview with “60 Minutes” will air Sunday evening.
