hospital. but i am told a more formal update is likely to come later today, like the one we saw yesterday, both from the former president s team and from his doctors who describe his current condition but all indications so far is that his health indicators are trending in the right direction. they re encouraged by that, that he s on the mend, and could be released as early as the next 24 hours or so, alex. and you know, we should say, doctors are erring on the side of caution. not only is the former president 75 years old. he has certainly a history of heart problems. he s had a stint put in to one of his arteries there. he s also had a quadruple bypass surgery, so they are not going to let him go until they are giving him the 100% all clear. you make a very good point, if these antibiotics that he s getting, monica, are being administered intravenously, you got to stay in the hospital. there s no way. that s not going to be done in pill form. that s the way it is. so, thank you for
treated for sepsis, effectively a blood infection. they took pains to say this is also not related to covid, but it s also not related to his heart. he of course had a heart surgery, and i believe 2004. had a stint put in some years after that. but this is apparently not related to his heart, and this is not related to covid. again the spokesman for former president clinton, says it s a non covid related infection, he s on the men in a good spirits. and bc is not reported from cnn, tonight that this relates to a blood infections for which he is being treated for sepsis. in either case former president is said to be on the mend in a good spirits, which is a good sign. we will keep you posted as we learn more about that. breaking news just within the last few minutes. okay, one of the stories that i said we were watching tonight,
survived a bout with colon and pancreas cancer. and she has a stint put into her artery. but she s never missed oral arguments in her 25-plus year on the court. the next oral arguments are in january. joining us now is julie cohen, she co-directed the film rbg. thank you for being here. do you have anything that you can tell us in terms of people close to the justice, anything about her current status? i heard from a close family member late this afternoon, she did well, it went well through the surgery and the doctors told her afterward that they have every reason to be optimistic.
team that are experts, they get to the site and we save you. if you are planing to have a heart attack make sure it is on monday, tuesday, wednesday. hospitals will make changes and will they? you covered the future of health care. will they even have the capability and the resources to staff a hospital at night and on the weekends? that s a big question mark. that s why the patient has to be their own advocate. i have a couple of points i want to make. to me we are talk about the heart. if you are having a heart attack on going and 700,000 people are still dying of heart disease every year in the country, if you have a heart attack on going there is something called door to balloon time. you have to get to the hospital within 90 minutes to get upstairs and have that angiogram done and have the stint put in and the artery reopened. studies show that you are 40% less likely to get there in the 90 minutes if we are talking weekends or nights because of the skeleton staff. but here is
about? i don t know. the dare devil is supposed to risk his life, shouldn t be risking the lives of others. isn t he in the box? yes, but he got out! i don t like dare devils. the box could have landed on people. risk your life, don t risk others. if that box landed on a little dog on jasper. on jasper! don t even say that, eric. don t even say that. bob, you re up. i want to send out my best wishes to another heart patient like myself, george w. bush who got out of the hospital. he had a stint put in successfully, good for him. he was lucky. i encourage having gone through bypass surgery myself, get heart tests as much as you possibly can. when you get to my age, a lot of things go wrong, particularly my liver, in this case my heart. how many seconds? that s it. happy birthday, allison!
