Three days after being hospitalized for a urinary tract infection, Clinton was doing well, “reacting well to treatments” and could soon return home, according to the latest medical report issued last night. “He received treatment for an infection not related to covid; he is recovering and in good spirits,” said his spokesman, Ángel Ureña, who specified that had been hospitalized “to monitor him closely”.
The ex-president, 75, was admitted “Tuesday night” at the Irvine Medical Center, University of California, in the city of Orange, “to receive treatment for an infection.” As reported by the CNN network, Clinton had already been treated for a urinary tract infection that spread to the blood system causing septicemia..
Clinton, who ruled between 1993 and 2001, was visited by his wife, who arrived at the hospital shortly after midnight, accompanied by her assistant Huma Abedin and her security team. He seemed to be in a “good mood” as he talked to others when he leftreported the Fox News network.
The former Democratic president I had traveled to California for a foundation event when he started to feel fatigued. He then went to the medical center, where heart problems or contagion of covid-19 were ruled out. The professionals who treat him maintain contact with Clinton’s medical team, including his cardiologist.

Clinton, from heart problems to adherence to veganism
In March of this year, Clinton joined former Presidents Barack Obama and George Bush in a campaign to promote coronavirus vaccination. “I want to be able to go back to work and be able to circulate again,” he said in the announcement that he intended to invite Americans to be immunized against the pandemic that has so far caused more than 700,000 deaths in the country.
Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States between 1993 and 2001. Elected at age 46, he became the third youngest president in the country’s history. In 2004, at the age of 58, he underwent a quadruple coronary bypass to free four blocked arteries. After that mishap, Clinton, known to have a weakness for fatty foods, went vegan.
In 2010, he underwent heart surgery again at Columbia University Hospital after suffering chest discomfort. According to Alan Schwartz, his surgeon, two endoprostheses were placed, a small tubular structure also known as a stent that is inserted into the artery to prevent it from clogging. That same year, he said it hadn’t been difficult to become vegan “when you have a quadruple coronary bypass and you want to live to be a grandfather.”
