en. Bernie Sanders threw up a fist and waved to his supporters as he left a Las Vegas hospital Friday. The Sanders campaign released a statement Friday afternoon thanking the medical staff who had been looking after him.
"I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center for the excellent care that they provided. After two and a half days in the hospital, I feel great, and after taking a short time off, I look forward to getting back to work," Sanders wrote on Twitter.

I'm looking forward to be back on the campaign trail soon. In the meantime, making calls to voters is the single most important thing you can do to help our campaign. Help us keep the political revolution going and reach 1,000,000 calls by Sunday: https://t.co/YcvS3sejCJ
