Former US President Bill Clinton has recently been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for the flu. According to his deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña, Clinton, who is 78 years old, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital on Monday, after experiencing a fever. But, thankfully, less than 24 hours later, America's 42nd president was already on his way home. In a statement posted on Tuesday morning, Ureña confirmed that Clinton had been discharged and was now doing much better.
On Monday evening, Ureña had announced that Clinton had been admitted to the hospital for testing and observation due to his fever, but assured everyone that he was in good spirits. And, in a separate interview with CNN, Ureña revealed that Clinton's hope was to be discharged before Christmas. It's clear that the former president and his family are extremely grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at the hospital and touched by all the kind messages and well wishes he received. In fact, Ureña also mentioned that Clinton wanted to extend his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to everyone.
This is not the first time that Clinton has faced health concerns since leaving the White House after serving two terms from January 1993 to January 2001. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery, and in 2010, he had two stents inserted to open an artery. Then, three years ago, he was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection that had spread into his bloodstream. However, despite these challenges, Clinton has remained resilient and has always bounced back. He has also dealt with other health issues, such as allergies, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but has made positive changes to his lifestyle, including switching to a mostly vegan diet, which has helped him to lose weight. Additionally, he also began using a hearing aid while he was president.
Despite his health concerns, Clinton has remained active in the political scene and was particularly involved in this year's presidential election. He campaigned for the Democratic Party's nominee, Kamala Harris, who ran alongside Joe Biden. In fact, in the weeks leading up to the election, Clinton delivered multiple speeches and showed his unwavering support for Harris. Unfortunately, Harris and Biden were not successful in defeating former President Donald Trump, but Clinton's dedication and enthusiasm for his party did not go unnoticed. We can only hope for a speedy recovery for the former president and look forward to his continued involvement in politics.
