“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”
InfoWars reports: NBC News noted according to a source the situation was “not urgent.”
“The former president will be fine,” the unnamed source told NBC. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
It’s unclear why the 42nd president, if truly “fine,” would choose a hospital rather than an urgent care clinic or house call from a physician.
NBC notes the top Democrat has faced a range of health issues over the past few decades:
He underwent a quadruple bypass operation at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 2004 and returned to the same hospital for another heart procedure in 2010, when two stents were inserted into a coronary artery.
He was also hospitalized for six days in California in 2021 with a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.
