Bill Clinton, at 78, former United States President, is confined to a Washington D.C. hospital for testing and observation after falling ill with an unspecified condition. “The president is fine. He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” said Angel Urena, the spokesperson of Former President Clinton.
He came down with a fever last Monday afternoon and visited the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for medical attention. Urena also mentioned Clinton was optimistic about returning home before Christmas.
Medical History Of Clinton
The former president has a notable history of health issues. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery, and in 2010, doctors inserted two stents to open a blocked artery. More recently, in 2021, Clinton was hospitalized for an infection that had reached his bloodstream.
Although it has not been easy, Clinton has kept a pretty hectic public life. He has been campaigning actively on the trail this fall and is traveling extensively since his book, Citizen: My Life After the White House was published.
Clinton was said to have been at his Washington residence when his condition worsened, leading to his admission to the hospital. According to Urena, the spirits of Clinton are quite high as he undergoes medical evaluation.
The tests and cause of his symptoms have not been specified, but Clinton’s history with resilience and optimism has assuaged supporters.
