Bill Clinton in Hospital: Health Check Due to Fever

Washington, DC, USATue Dec 24 2024
Bill Clinton, the 78-year-old former president, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, on Monday. His close associates revealed that he developed a fever and is under observation. Angel Urena, a spokesperson, stated that Clinton is doing well and is anticipated to return home for Christmas. Clinton was at his home in the capital when he was brought to the hospital. He is expected to stay overnight, with doctors describing him as "awake and alert. " News of his hospitalization quickly spread among Clinton's extensive network of associates. Over the years, he has faced other health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in New York, followed by a partially collapsed lung a year later. In 2010, he had two stents inserted in a coronary artery. More recently, in 2021, he was hospitalized for six days in Los Angeles due to a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream. Despite these health challenges, Clinton has maintained an active public life. He recently spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and was very active during the fall campaign season. His busy schedule continues with the release of his new book, "Citizen: My Life After the White House. "
