Former President Bill Clinton hospitalized for infection but 'on the mend'

Quote:

Former President Bill Clinton was admitted to the University of California Irvine Medical Center's intensive care unit for a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream, his doctors told CNN on Thursday.

"He was admitted to the ICU for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring," according to a joint statement Thursday evening from Dr. Alpesh Amin, chair of medicine at UC Irvine Medical Center, and Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton's personal primary physician. They said that Clinton was in the ICU for privacy and safety, not because he needs intensive care.

Clinton, who was in California for a private event for his foundation, had been feeling fatigued on Tuesday and was admitted to the hospital after testing, according to his office. Hillary Clinton went to the event on Thursday evening to "represent both of them" and then went to the hospital to be with the former President, a Clinton spokesman told CNN.

The former President's doctors said urologic infections are very common in older people, and they are easily treated, although they can quickly spread to the bloodstream. Clinton will be given intravenous antibiotics until Friday, when he will likely be switched to oral antibiotics. His vital measurements are all stable, the doctors said.

I hope he experienced some disturbing audible and visual hallucinations similar to what my mother went through when she had UTIs. But mom was in her 90s, so it probably didn't happen to Bill. But I can dream!

I bet the disturbing visual and audible hallucinations was Hillary talking.

That would *really* piss me off, pun intended. :mrgreen:

I had one once and felt I had to pee every 3 seconds.

I don't have any sympathy or empathy for the man.

He's a neo-liberal. The fact that he's a slightly less of one than say either Bush doesn't mean that much. Perhaps you've misread me all these years?

Maybe he’ll pass a large kidney stone very slowly.

Surprising forum forum unity on Bill Clinton being terrible. There is also the appropriateness of what particular body part is giving him trouble, apparently that thing is just cursed at this point.
