Former US President Bill Clinton has expressed deep gratitude after recovering from a serious urological infection that required a six-day hospital stay.
NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton struck an upbeat and reflective tone as he recounted his recovery from a serious systemic infection that required six days of acute hospitalization, offering heartfelt gratitude to the clinical teams who treated him, as well as friends, colleagues, and members of the public who sent an outpouring of well wishes.
The medical scare unfolded when the 42nd president was admitted to the University of California, Irvine Medical Center in Orange County after developing a urological infection that subsequently seeded into his bloodstream. While a blood-borne bacterial infection represents a potentially life-threatening complication if left unchecked, Clinton’s medical team confirmed that the former commander-in-chief did not enter septic shock, responded rapidly to intravenous therapies, and maintained stable hemodynamic parameters throughout his inpatient stay.
