In Need of a Vacation?
Bill Clinton returned home last Thursday after having two stents placed in a clogged heart artery. This is his second time having heart surgery in the past four year; in 2004 Clinton had a quadruple heart bypass operation. While many are excited for his return to his Haiti relief, many question his health and ability to continue his work. The doctors claim that the recent surgery have nothing to do with his lifestyles, it seems as if Clinton should possibly take a break eventually. His work and travel is effecting the hours of sleep he gets which clearly makes a difference. It may not directly correlate to the heart surgeries, but it has to be having an effect on him. He is a very busy man and has been working endlessly for the benefit of other, but he needs to worry about his personal health before the health of others. As Molly Ferree said in the Whitworthian, "f you are determined to continue making the lives of people around the world better, which we all greatly appreciate it, please take the time to make sure you see the end results. Give yourself a little grace, make sure you are healthy, and then go out there and get ‘em"

Clinton clearly works hard and will never stop working hard but I completely agree with the final statement of this article. There are even times when the energizer bunny takes 5, and Bill should do the same. His Haiti relief efforts are clearly effective and very publicized, but his health is being affected because he does not give himself the rest his body requires. Sleep deprivation can lead to paranoia and hallucinations which is something I do NOT want Clinton to be going through. With a little time He'll be back to finding his next Monica Lewinsky, I mean.... helping the relief effort in Haiti.
That's good that his health conditions are being addressed, and he does indeed need to take a break and start focusing on helping himself instead of others.
