Former US President Bill Clinton Hospitalized Due to Fever

Washington, D.C. (Eurotoday) – Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, 78, was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Monday after falling ill with a fever, his spokesman said. Angel Ureña, a spokesperson for Clinton, stated the former president was in good spirits and receiving excellent care.

At age 78, former President Bill Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., late on a Monday afternoon after developing a fever, his spokesperson confirmed.

“The president is fine,” remarked Angel Ureña, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. He added that the former president is optimistic about being home by Christmas.

“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”

Clinton was at his home in Washington when he was taken to the hospital. An aide said his condition was “awake and alert” and that he would probably stay at the hospital overnight for observation.

News of Clinton’s hospitalization spread quickly through his far-flung network of current and former colleagues and supporters. One long-time associate described his condition as “not urgent or dire by any means.”

Since leaving the White House almost 25 years ago, Clinton has had a succession of major health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery, and the following year, he was treated for a partially collapsed lung. Then, in 2010, two stents were placed in a coronary artery, and in 2021, he spent six days in the hospital with a blood infection related to a urological problem.

Those health setbacks, however, haven’t stopped Clinton from being extremely active in public life over the years. He gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last August and spent his time on a variety of campaigns this fall.

He has just published his new book, Citizen: My Life After the White House, a moving story about his life after leaving the Oval Office. As Clinton seeks treatment, well-wishers from across the world are sending in their best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    Seems like Bill’s just trying to keep up with the rest of us who were feeling a bit under the weather after the latest EU summit! 🍷🤒 Good to know he’s on the mend; let’s hope he doesn’t miss out on the Christmas pudding! 🎄

    Looks like Bill’s fever is his latest attempt at staying relevant in the headlines—who needs a good book release when you can have a hospital stay, eh? 😂 Perhaps he’s just trying to prove that even ex-presidents can turn a little heat into a publicity stunt!

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we needed, the former leader of the free world checking in for a little “staycation” at the hospital. 🤔 Who knew fever was the new power nap for politicians?
