Former US President Bill Clinton Released From California Hospital

• Bill Clinton was released from California hospital after being treated for infection
• Bill Clinton underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004 and had two stents inserted to open one artery in 2010.

Ekohotblog reports that Bill Clinton, a former United States President, was released from the Southern California hospital on Sunday after being treated for an infection. A spokesperson for the former president said he will head home to New York to continue his recovery.

University of California Irvine Health Department of Medicine Executive Director Dr Alpesh N. Amin, who had been overseeing Clinton’s medical team, released a statement following Clinton’s release.

“President Clinton was discharged from UC Irvine Medical Center today. His fever and white blood cell count are normalized, and he will return home to New York to finish his course of antibiotics. On behalf of everyone at UC Irvine Medical Center, we were honoured to have treated him and will continue to monitor his progress,” Amin wrote.

Clinton had been admitted last week to the UC Irvine Medical Center’s intensive care unit for a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream.

The former President, who was in good spirits throughout his treatment, had been treated in the ICU for privacy and safety, not because he needed intensive care, according to his doctors.

Clinton, 75, was admitted Tuesday to the hospital southeast of Los Angeles with an infection unrelated to COVID-19.

Hilary Clinton stayed at the hospital with her husband and their daughter Chelsea, the AP reported.

The 42nd President has faced other health challenges in the past. He underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004 and had two stents inserted to open one artery in 2010.
