Bill Clinton Hospitalized
-
On Thursday, a spokesperson for Bill Clinton said that the former president has been hospitalized at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center in Orange.
CNN reported that Clinton is in the ICU with a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream.
Angel Ureña, the president’s spokesperson, said the 75-year-old Clinton was brought to UCI Medical Center after becoming fatigued, tweeting, “On Tuesday evening, President Clinton was admitted to UCI Medical Center to receive treatment for a non-Covid-related infection. He is on the mend, in good spirits, and is incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff providing him with excellent care.”
Ureña also tweeted out a statement from the former president’s physicians, Dr. Alpesh Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack, saying, “President Clinton was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center and diagnosed with an infection. He was admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring. After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well. The California-based medical team has been in constant communication with the President’s New York-based medical team, including his cardiologist. We hope to have him go home soon.”
Getting septic from a urinary tract infection is rare, though it can happen. Women are more likely go get UTIs, of course.
The most common cause of urosepsis is probably something (like a stone) causing urinary obstruction. However, there are other things that can cause an obstruction.

Former President Bill Clinton was released Sunday from the Southern California hospital where he had been admitted days earlier for an infection.
Clinton, 75, was released around 8 a.m. from the University of California Irvine Medical Center after he was admitted Tuesday with an infection unrelated to COVID-19, officials said.
An aide to the former president told the AP that Clinton had a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream, and that he was in an intensive care section of the hospital but wasn’t receiving ICU care.
I still want to know what caused the urosepsis...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
