Clinton Doctor Says Prognosis ‘Excellent’

Bill Clinton's doctor spoke out on Thursday night, saying that the former President did not recently suffer a heart attack and that his prognosis is excellent.

Clinton underwent a procedure to insert two stents into a coronary artery at New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City earlier on Thursday. His wife, U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and daughter Chelsea are currently by his side.

Dr. Allan Schwartz said that after Clinton had experienced repeated episodes of chest discomfort, it was decided to admit him to the hospital for testing. "President Clinton responded appropriately and promptly to warning symptoms," the physician reported.
