Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to the University of California Irvine Medical Center for a non-Covid-related infection.

From the New York Post:

 

Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in California Tuesday with a suspected blood infection.

 

The 42nd president was taken to University of California Irvine Medical Center for “close monitoring” and was given IV antibiotics and fluids, according to a joint statement from Dr. Alpesh Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack.

 

Clinton spokesman Angel Urena specified in a separate statement that the hospital visit is not COVID-related.

 

By Thursday, the 75-year-old Clinton remained at the hospital and was  “on the mend” and “in good spirits,” Urena said.

 

“After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well,” Clinton’s physicians said.

 

“He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring,” the statement said.

I hope he continues to improve.

I hope he is OK as well.  We were fortunate enough to see him many years ago when his daughter was a student at Stanford and he visited one of our favorite restaurants.   He did seem a bit frail for his age even at that time.   He was so cordial with everyone and even took pictures with the restaurant owners and staff.

Urinary tract infections are fairly common in people that age.  His turned septic.  My neighbor died from the same thing.  He waited too long to get treatment and the sepsis killed his heart muscle.

I heard that he has a blood infection, a milder form of Sepsis. He is on IV Antibiotics and it is reported he is getting better.

 

Best wishes to President Clinton and a good recovery.

He has a UTI, so I heard on a news statement. Ive had it 3 different times, and mine goes into blood poisoning. I think it's an old persons problem. Anti biotics takes care of it.

Any guidance on keeping a healthy uninary tract with advancing age or any age.
