Fetterman released from hospital after fall outside his Pennsylvania home
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) was recently released from the hospital after a fall outside his home in Braddock,Pennsylvania,which was caused by a ventricular fibrillation flare-up. He was hospitalized out of an abundance of caution but is now recovering at home with his family. Fetterman shared an update on social media showing the 20 stitches on his face and expressed gratitude for the medical care he received and the support from well-wishers.

Fetterman released from hospital after fall outside his Pennsylvania home
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has returned home after being hospitalized for a fall he suffered late this week due to a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up.”
Fetterman was taken to the hospital out of “an abundance of caution” on Thursday after falling outside his house in Braddock, Pennsylvania. At the time, his office said he was “doing well,” and Fetterman joked about his injuries, saying, “If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now.”
In an X post on Saturday, Fetterman shared an update on his condition that included a selfie showing extensive stitching on his face.
“20 stitches later and a full recovery, I’m back home with @giselefetterman and the kids. I’m overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes. Truly. Grateful for @UPMC for the incredible medical care that put me back together. THANK YOU SO MUCH. See you back in DC,” he said.
The fall was the latest health problem Fetterman has faced since entering the Senate in 2023.
FETTERMAN HOSPITALIZED AFTER FALL CAUSED BY ‘VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION FLARE-UP’
In February of that year, he was hospitalized after feeling light-headed during a Senate retreat. Weeks later, he checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive care for clinical depression, which had then become “severe.”
Before his time in Congress, he suffered a stroke while on the campaign trail in 2022. Months later, he defeated then-Republican candidate Mehmet Oz by nearly 5% in the Senate election.
