Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, 77, was admitted to a California hospital on October 14, 2021, for treatment of an infection. According to his spokesperson, Clinton was being treated at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center. The hospitalization, while initially concerning, was described as being for a “non-COVID-related infection,” with Clinton being in “good spirits” and “resting comfortably.”
The infection was reported to be related to a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream, a condition known as sepsis. Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening complication that occurs when the body's response to infection causes widespread inflammation. Clinton was reportedly admitted to the hospital after feeling unwell and his doctors decided to admit him for further observation and treatment.
Clinton's team confirmed that he was being treated by a team of medical professionals and was responding well to the antibiotics administered. His wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was by his side, and their daughter, Chelsea, also visited the hospital. The former president’s medical team emphasized that while Clinton was responding positively to the treatment, he would remain hospitalized for a few days for continued monitoring.
Clinton's hospitalization sparked an outpouring of well-wishes from across the country, with public figures and former colleagues offering messages of support. President Joe Biden, who served as vice president under Clinton, was among those who expressed concern and sent good wishes to Clinton and his family.
Bill Clinton has a history of health issues. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery to address heart disease, and in 2010, he had a procedure to clear a blocked artery. His recent hospitalization raised questions about his health, but his doctors were optimistic that he would make a full recovery.
After several days of treatment, Clinton was discharged from the hospital on October 17, 2021, in time to continue his recovery at home. His spokesperson reassured the public that Clinton was in good health and would continue to follow medical advice to ensure a full recovery.
