Monday afternoon, radio host Rick Burgess of the Birmingham-based and nationally syndicated Rick & Bubba Show announced he suffered a gallbladder attack during his morning show.

Burgess added that he will be undergoing surgery to remove his gallbladder Tuesday morning. He hopes to return to work Thursday following the procedure.

Sadly another gallbladder attack during the show today will lead to surgery to remove it tomorrow morning. I will likely be out the next two shows and hopefully back Thursday. Also there will be no Bible Study Wed. Will resume next week. Rest of the guys will be there both days
