Pronounced Fit, Reno Back At Work After Fainting
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attorney General Janet Reno, pronounced fit by her
doctors, checked out of a local hospital and returned to work Monday after
suffering her second fainting spell in less than a year.
The Justice Department said Reno fainted Sunday for a few seconds at a
Maryland church service. She said in a statement she had a good night's
sleep at Georgetown University Medical Center and looked forward to
returning to work.
It said Dr. Edward Gwozdz, an associate of Reno's personal physician,
determined she was ``100 percent fit to return to work'' and he called her
vital signs ``fabulous.''
Gwozdz described Reno as ``unquestionably in good condition.'' He added that
he has found that more people faint in churches and on elevators than
anywhere else.
Reno, 60, was diagnosed in 1995 with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative
illness that causes her left arm to shake.
Reno, who has served as attorney general in President Clinton's Cabinet
since 1993, suffered her first fainting spell in Mexico during a reception
for law enforcement officials last November.
She spent the night in a hospital in Mexico City and then was released after
it was determined her problem stemmed partly from fatigue.
At Georgetown, doctors quickly found no evidence of heart problems, and Reno
was kept overnight for observation.
Although she returned to work, Reno cancelled a trip to New York City
Monday.
