Ron Paul hospitalized after apparent medical episode, says he's 'doing fine' | CNN - Sam Fossum, Ted Barrett, Kay Jones & Caroline Kelly:

September 25, 2020 - "Former Texas congressman Ron Paul was hospitalized earlier Friday after an apparent medical episode but is now 'doing fine,' according to a tweet posted to his Twitter account. Paul – a well-known libertarian, three-time presidential candidate and the father of Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul  – was seen visually slurring his words during a livestream on his YouTube channel on Friday. The video has since been removed.

"'Message from Ron Paul: "I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern,"' a tweet posted on the former congressman's account stated, which also included an image of Paul, who is 85, sitting up and smiling from a hospital bed. Rand Paul also tweeted out a brief statement, saying, 'Thank God, Dad is doing well. Thank you for all your prayers today'....

"Ron Paul ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988 and a Republican in 2008 and 2012, helping to pave the way for Rand Paul's run in 2016 by building a nationwide network of devoted supporters drawn to his message of limited government and non-interventionist foreign policy. 

"The elder Paul served as part of the Texas congressional delegation for more than two decades, representing the state's 22nd District from 1979 to 1985 and 14th District from 1997 until 2013 and becoming the first representative in US history to serve alongside his child serving in the Senate. Prior to serving in Congress, he practiced obstetrics and gynecology, delivering more than 4,000 babies."
