前总统比尔·克林顿一位发言人周一表示,他在发烧后已经住院治疗。
78岁的克林顿周一下午被送往华盛顿特区的MedStar乔治敦大学医院,“在发烧后进行测试和观察”,他的副幕僚长安吉尔·乌雷亚在一份声明中说。
“他仍然精神良好,并深深感谢他正在接受的良好照顾,”声明继续说。
在过去的二十年里,克林顿有过几次健康问题,大多与心脏问题有关。
2004年9月,他接受了一次心脏搭桥手术,2010年2月,他的心脏植入了两个冠状动脉支架。他还在2005年接受了肺萎陷手术。
2021年,他因血液感染在加州住院数日。
他从1993年1月至2001年1月担任总统。
克林顿说这是他第13次在民主党全国代表大会上发表演讲。
他说:“让我说,没有一天,即使我离开白宫已经超过23年,没有一天我不感谢上帝给我服务的机会,以及这意味着什么。”“我如此热爱这份工作的原因之一是,在最艰难的时候,甚至在最黑暗的日子里,如果你足够努力,总会有一些好事可以为别人做。”
在将近30分钟的演讲结束时,他说,“我想从心底里说这些,我不知道我还能听到多少次。”

"Let me say, not a single day goes by, even though I’ve been gone for well over 23 years from the White House, not a day goes by that I don’t thank the Lord for the chance I had to serve, and what it meant," he said. "One of the reasons I love the job so much is that in the toughest times, even on the darkest days, if you tried hard enough, there was always something good you could do for somebody else."
Toward the end of his nearly 30-minute speech, he said, "I want to say this from the bottom of my heart, I have no idea how many more of these I'll be able to come to."
