No word on Clinton resuming work, yet
(01-03 08:55)
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, 65, was released from a New York hospital late yesterday three days after being admitted for treatment of a rare blood clot in her head, a top aide said.
“Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening,’’ deputy assistant secretary Philippe Reines said in a statement. “Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery.’’
Earlier, Clinton, bundled up against the cold in a winter coat and wearing dark glasses, was seen in public for the first time in almost a month, when she came out of a building at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, AFP reports. It was the first time she had been seen since catching a stomach virus on returning from a trip to Europe on December 7, which forced her to cancel a planned visit to North Africa.
Accompanied by her smiling husband, former president Bill Clinton, as well as her daughter Chelsea and several top aides, Clinton walked unaided to a waiting black van at the hospital, according to images broadcast by CNN.
The aide did not say when she would return to work though.
