Former President George H.W. Bush Released from Hospital after Collapsing on Golf Course

Former President George H.W. Bush was released from Eisenhower Medical Center in California one day after collapsing on a golf course in Palm Springs.

The 82-year-old Bush was treated for dehydration after he fainted while playing in 94-degree heat.

Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said, “He became dehydrated, and he had a fainting spell. He came to right away, but as a precaution, they took him to the hospital and then, much to his dismay, as a precaution, they held him overnight. The doctors released him first thing this morning.”
