WASHINGTON (AP) — The secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, has been hospitalized for treatment of a minor infection.
An HHS statement issued Sunday night says Azar had been treated with intravenous antibiotics and that, out of an abundance of caution, has been admitted to a hospital for observation.
The Senate confirmed the 50-year-old former pharmaceutical company representative as HHS secretary in January. He had served in senior posts at HHS during President George W. Bush’s administration.
Azar replaced Tom Price, who resigned under pressure over reports that he was taking private charter flights at taxpayer expense.
I am not a physician, but hospitalization and IV antibiotics does not sound ‘minor’ to me. Maybe not life threatening.
But if it really is just an ‘abundance of caution’, (and I doubt that, but let’s just assume) that gives an interesting window into who gets full service treatment and who gets a scrip for amoxicillin.
Obviously, working for Dotard can make you sick.
Nothing but the best healthcare for the privileged class.
Jesus, all he did was sneeze, 2 times lol
Just minor stuff. Otherwise ya know he would be in Houston.
