LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized Thursday for chest discomfort and is resting this Thursday evening after a procedure to implant two stents in an artery. This is the same vessel he had surgery on six years ago, during a quadruple bypass. His cardiologist says Clinton is doing very well and should be back in the office Monday morning.
