Bill Clinton to Undergo Heart Bypass Surgery

Posted September 3, 2004, 2:59 p.m.

Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to have bypass surgery at a New York hospital after suffering mild chest pain and shortness of breath, his office said today in a statement.

Some media are reporting this that will be a quadruple-bypass procedure and could happen as soon as tomorrow (Saturday). Clinton’s family—Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and daughter Chelsea—are heading to New York to be with him.

I hope that we can all come together in prayer for Clinton’s speedy recovery, no matter what we think about his politics.
