Source: Bill Clinton in Operating Room
08:10 AM EST - September 06, 2004

The Associated Press


NEW YORK
Former President Bill Clinton was moved to an operating room early Monday and doctors began preparing him for a heart bypass operation, a hospital source told The Associated Press.

Preparations began at about 6:45 a.m. in an operating room at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia in upper Manhattan, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The operation was expected to last until noon or early afternoon.

The surgical team was being led by Dr. Craig R. Smith, chief of cardiothoracic surgery, the source said.

That's about all the information.

Keep strong, Mr. President.

Saw a rerun of the June 24 Larry King appearance and was reminded of what a strong asset President Clinton is to our nation. Best wishes for a successful operation and a speedy recovery......
