Bill Clinton spotted with a defibrillator: concern grows
Published on August 30, 2025
At East Hampton Airport in the US state of New York, former US President Bill Clinton (79) caused a sensation.He was observed how he entered a private plane together with his wife Hillary Clinton (77).However, the interest of the public was less of the trip itself, but rather a portable defibrillator that Bill apparently carried with him.The device, which is used for cardiac arrhythmia and can trigger electrical shocks in an emergency, ensured numerous headlines and speculations about the health of the 79-year-old politician.
The British newspaper Daily Mail reports that the medical device with the medical device is to be a propaq-MD model that was specially developed for high-risk patients.Bill has been known for his health challenges for a long time.Already in 2004 he underwent extensive bypass operation after his coronary arteries were almost completely blocked.In the following years, further interventions were added, such as the repair of a lung tear and the insertion of stents.Infections also caused him again and again, most recently in December 2024 when he was hospitalized for fever and complications.
Bill, who acted as President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, was optimistic about his recovery and dealing with his health problems in the past.In particular, the changeover to a mostly vegan diet seemed to give him new energy, as he once proudly explained to NY Post: "This change gave me a second chance."His wife Hillary has been supporting him privately for decades.You, always at his side, knows about the challenges of his medical history, but the observations at the airport once again raise the question: How is the former president really feel?
