Looking for an article to fill in here, but the TV is reporting that Clinton was hospitalized today, possibly with chest pains.

If a mod has issues with my not having a source yet(I am looking), feel free to move this, you won't hurt my feelings. It is not following the rules.

Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in New York City.

According to ABC News, Clinton underwent a procedure at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

George Stephanopoulos says the procedure may have been for a stent.

First Thought when hearing "Clinton hospitalized" is:


What was the woman's husband's name?

Was it Reagan or Bush the elder had part of his colon removed, and one of the late night talk show hosts made the inevitable "semicolon" joke?

He's already had Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) if I'm not mistaken. I hope he does well.

Dude got his photo taken next to Kim Jong-il on a trip to rescue two asian women and take them home on a private jet.

There's no part of that sentence that isn't awesome.

Get better Willy!

Except the part about "photo taken next to Kim Jong-il...that crazy ^&*(.
 
They're reporting he's out of surgery and 'in high spirits' - which is easy to be when you're doped up on pain-meds.

Yeah, that was a while ago. Hopefully this isn't anything too serious.

instead of high spirits it should read 'high' spirits. :2razz:
 
Hang in there Bill. You still have a lot of work to be done in your mortal life.

It was an extremely rare diplomatic moment for North Korea. Nobody meets with Kimmy like that.
 
In the stent procedure, a long, thin tube called a catheter is fed through an incision in the groin all the way to the heart.

"In this procedure, there would be a balloon on the end of [the catheter]," Neel said. "They would take X-rays while they're doing this, inject dyes and determine whether ... [Clinton's] arteries were actually closing down, whether there was any significant damage to the heart and muscle.

"Since we're hearing that he had two stents put in one artery, there must have been some significant weakening in those arteries," Neel said.

Clinton, who served as president from 1993-2001, has been working in recent weeks to help relief efforts in Haiti. Since leaving office, he has maintained a busy schedule working on humanitarian projects through his foundation.

Clinton "will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts," Band said.

With bypass or angioplasty, patients often need another procedure years down the road because arteries often reclog.

Does that mean his groin is out of commission for a while? Cankled women everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. ;)

No kidding! When I was in navy, I was hospitalized for severe abdominal pain. First they gave me a large dose of demoral(sp?), then had me sign forms. I was so stoned, I would have signed anything with a smile.
