Bill Clinton Hospitalized

His arteries were very clogged the first time, and a doctor said six years is about right to require another procedure. They insert stents that contain a drug to keep his arteries clear. Hopefully he recovers fully.
 
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.

He will deny that he took the meds. He will just say that he didn't inhale them. :mrgreen:
 
Mr Clinton had a common and fairly routine procedure done. It is carried out in a cath lab, by an interventionalist MD and his team. A catheter is introduced, usually into a femoral artery, and threaded up into the superior vena cava, and dye is injected in order to visualize the coronary arteries, which supply the heart itself with oxygenated blood. If a blockage of a coronary artery is detected, then a stent is introduced and placed in order to unblock the occuded artery, and keep it unblocked. Most stents today are drug eluding ones, which emit medications designed to keep the stent from occluding down the road.

This usually involves an overnight stay in the hospital. This technology has become a staple in managing coronary artery disease.

A post cardiac cath patient doesn't normally require pain medication.
 
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.

tsktsk

It's illegal to have one under the influence of such heavy narcotics to sign any legal document.

I have a power of attorney because of my husband's condition - he couldn't sign away his soul if he wanted to.

That won't stop either the devil or the United States government.
 
There was a Fox reporter that apparently had spent lots of time with him during his presidency and said that Clinton tried to keep in reasonable shape, but his inner-Bubba would cause him to run to McDonald's quite often to get a snack. I thought that was funny.
 
Other than being restricted from moving for many hours after the procedure the recover is almost instant. The lack of movement is to allow the artery time to seal up. After the stints are in place he will be laced on blood thinners, blood pressure, Plavex, and a cholesterol medicine. He may be given nitroglycerin for use in case of future pain, he will be told to change his diet and stop smoking even the occasional cigar.

His need for the stints means he did not follow Doctors orders after his by pass surgery.

How do I know this? I had 3 stints installed in July. I f he does as he's told he'll be fine for a while yet.
 
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 hospitalized, undergoes stent procedure in New York - 2/11/10 - New York News and Tri-State News - 7online.com



Can't edit title to match article, it should read "Former President Clinton in New York hospital". Can a mod fix that for me please.

After over a year of Obama, I really miss Bill Clinton.
 
Bill Clinton, best wishes, get well soon.
 
What Chappy said.....Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I have been avoiding this thread. But I must come clean.

The reason I have stayed away is this. You newbies have no clue what I am about to talk about but you old heads do.

When Clinton was prez, I just got my FIRST computer. Dail up, no less. :roll:

Anyways, I spent my free time bashing that horny bastard. I cussed him up one side and down the other. There are a handful of pepole here that know my words are very true. (Really. Some posters here I have known for over 10 years. <you guys know who you are>)

Moving right along.

Then Bush came along and guess what? I spent all my free time online, bashing him up one side and down the other.

Now we got Obama. So, naturally, you guessed it, I am having a blast doggin' him out too.

I confess. I just love dogging the top dog. It's in me and it's gotta come out. It's what I do. Captain America at your service.

Time to come clean.

This is how I really feel.

Bill Clinton, I can't stand your wife. If she was my wife, I'd blow my goo on a blue dress too. You are no better or no worse than the average American male and I see no reason to exhault you. If you woulda come out like a regular guy, we could have at least had a meeting of the mind. But you were a hot-shot, limo-ass politicin that was s'posed to be some kinda righteous mo' fo' that turned out to not much more than a bull****, arkie-ass hillbilly in a suit. (Not much different than some of my other friends from Little Rock, Van Buren, Ft. Smith, but I digress. :3oops:)

But you know, my portfolio LOVED you. The idea of a national surplus, rather than a defecit got my pecker stickin' up. I don't care who really should get the credit for that so all you partisan whackos just keep it to yourself. The fact is, win or lose, the president gets the blame or the credit. The buck stops there. During Clinton, I was reaping 16-20% returns.

Liberty and freedom was making headway too.

Then came the witchhunt that backed Horndog Bill into a corner that made his personal lie result is a public criminal lie. Clinton, in his budget cuts, pissed a lotta GOP fatcat politicians off and cost them a LOT of money. He HAD to go. We all know what happened after that. That is when my eyes started to open. Ashamed, I realized that maybe I wasn't as conservative as I was pretending to be.

I heard on the news that somebody put up a billboard with President Bush on it that read, "Miss me yet?"

To sum it up. No. I do not miss you Mr. Bush. Only by the grace of God you aren't in solitary confinement, but I digress.

But Bill, I do miss you. My wallet misses you. I'm sorry for riding you like I did. Don't it always seem to go? That you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

But Bill, your wife is still a ****.
 
I miss the hell out of Bill and George. Get well soon, Pres. Clinton.

You're one letter short there. You're missing the 'h'.
 
Does that mean his groin is out of commission for a while? Cankled women everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. ;)

Does that mean we can call him "numb nuts" now? :mrgreen:

I don't usually read long posts, but this one is so right on! I totally agree!

(PS, I always hate the top dog too)

^^^What he said...except I did know what we had at the time, despite Newtie and his gang. And his wife, IMHO I think she's the brightest of the Clintons. I voted for her in the primary.

Your portfolio perked up after 1994 when the Republican-controlled Congress killed the Obama-like agenda Clinton came into office with. To his credit, Clinton adjusted and just went along for the ride, deciding that getting re-elected was more important than ramming government healthcare or cap and trade down our throats.

The problem with your post is that when you have a President as lacking in integrity as Clinton, just what kind of blackmail could work on him. What would he do, or not do, to keep his sordid affairs and whatnot from becoming public? It took Matt Drudge of all people to shed the light; and I'm sure more than a little was known about it before. What kind of deals did he make along the way? We'll never know.

I'll never understand why he didn't take out bin Laden when he was handed to us on a silver platter. What possessed him not to?
