She won't be saluting like this any time soon.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fractured her right elbow during a fall Wednesday afternoon and will need surgery to repair it.
Clinton fell on her way to the White House and was taken to George Washington University Hospital. She was treated and released, and will have surgery to repair her elbow in coming weeks, Clinton's chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, said in a statement.
"Secretary Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her this evening and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon," Mills said.
Clinton had been scheduled to join actress Angelina Jolie on Thursday morning at a Washington event marking World Refugee Day. That event has been removed from Clinton's public schedule, AP reported.
We wish her a speedy recovery.
