We are now learning that Senator Bernie Sanders condition may have been more serious than we initially thought. Doctors who treated the presidential candidate released a statement saying:
“After presenting to an outside facility with chest pain, Sen. Sanders was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. He was immediately transferred to Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center. The Senator was stable upon arrival and taken immediately to the cardiac catheterization laboratory, at which time two stents were placed in a blocked coronary artery in a timely fashion. All other arteries were normal. His hospital course was uneventful with good expected progress. He was discharged with instructions to follow up with his personal physician.”
After leaving the hospital Friday, Sanders released this video.
Sanders is said to be heading back to Vermont tomorrow and he is planning to take part in the October 15th Democratic debate.
