FORMER President George H.W. Bush, father of the current president, was treated at a California hospital after becoming dizzy and dehydrated in the desert heat. "President Bush was playing golf in the 94 degree heat and became dizzy and dehydrated," Elizabeth Wholihan, a spokeswoman for Eisenhower Medical Centre in Rancho Mirage, said.
Southern California has been baking under a heat wave that threatens to shatter record temperatures. The White House said President George W. Bush was informed by his personal physician, Dr. Richard Tubb, about his father's condition Sunday before travelling to Guatemala City and spoke with him en route. "He was held overnight. He's fine and he's resuming his normal schedule today," White House spokesman Tony Snow said of the former president. |
