The Appearance of Clinton with a Cardiac Medical Device Raises Concerns About His Health Again
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has brought previous health concerns back to the forefront after he was seen carrying a medical device specialized for cardiac emergencies while leaving one of New York's airports.
Photographers captured the moment the Clintons boarded their private plane last Thursday, carrying with them a "medical bag of the type Propaq MD Air, which is a heart monitoring and defibrillation device, typically used in emergencies," according to the American "New York Post." This portable device, as described technically, is designed "to provide emergency electrical shocks to the heart and monitor patients at high risk of cardiac arrest."
This scene reveals a new chapter in Clinton's long health journey that spans over two decades, which has witnessed serious challenges. Three years after leaving the White House, specifically in 2004, he underwent heart surgery after suffering from chest pain and shortness of breath. Details later revealed that doctors faced a difficult surprise during the surgery, as "he suffered from nearly 100% blockage in some of his arteries... and miraculously survived a serious heart attack."
His problems did not stop at the heart; the following year (2005), he returned to the hospital for emergency surgery due to "partial lung collapse," and again in 2010, he was hospitalized to have "a pair of stents placed in a coronary artery."
Despite his serious attempts to change his lifestyle after these successive crises, where he adopted a largely plant-based diet and embarked on a plan that led to significant weight loss; his health continued to face challenges. He was hospitalized in October 2021 for treatment of "a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream," and spent Christmas Eve of last year (December) in a Washington hospital after "developing a fever and undergoing tests," managing to leave the next day.
