In layman’s language: Hillary Clinton suffered a stroke in 2012. Persons should avoid stress.

Doctor: Hillary Clinton In ‘Excellent’ Physical Condition | TIME – July 31, 2015 |

Bardack’s letter provides the most detailed accounting of the 2012 episode, which came as Clinton was set to testify before Congress on the 2012 Benghazi attacks shortly before leaving office.

According to Bardack, Clinton fainted after becoming dehydrated from a stomach virus and suffered a concussion during the fall. During subsequent evaluations, Bardack said, Clinton was diagnosed with a “transverse sinus venous thrombosis,” a type of blood clot in the brain, and was given anticoagulants to dissolve the clot. After the concussion, Clinton experienced double-vision and wore glasses with a Fresnel Prism.

“Her concussion symptoms, including the double vision, resolved within two months and she discontinued the use of the prism,” Bardack wrote. “She had follow-up testing in 2013, which revealed complete resolution of the effects of the concussion as well as total dissolution of the thrombosis. Mrs. Clinton also tested negative for all clotting disorders.”

Clinton also suffered from deep vein thrombosis in 1998 and 2009, according to Bardack, as well as an elbow fracture in 2009, and takes Armour Thyroid and Coumadin^® daily.

○ Clinton Campaign Admits Mishandeling Medical News

Now I’m getting the full extent of the attention Hillary got from her handlers when she did not feel well during the 9/11 commemoration. There was clearly fear she may have suffered a minor stroke. Would also explain the delay in communication beyond persons in her own team. I expect this is not the end of the 9/11 scare for the Democratic presidential candidate.

Who is the unknown woman who stays at her side all of the time and seems to check her physical/medical condition. What’s in her bag she carries and leaves on the curb when assisting HRC to get in the van.

Hillary Clinton tells CNN that she did not faint at 9/11 memorial | The Guardian |

Speaking to Anderson Cooper in a telephone interview tonight, Hillary Clinton told CNN that she did not faint after she left a 9/11 memorial event early on Sunday, and that the American people will soon know more about her health status after her diagnosis with pneumonia. “I’m feeling so much better, and obviously I should have gotten some rest sooner,” Clinton said. “Like a lot of people I thought I could just keep going forward and power through it, and obviously that didn’t work out so well.”

Bill Clinton: Hillary Clinton has ‘rarely,’ but on occasion, had dehydration spells | CNN |

Former President Bill Clinton says Hillary Clinton has a history of occasionally becoming severely dehydrated and suffering “the same sort of thing” she experienced when she stumbled leaving an event Sunday.

“Rarely, on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she got severely dehydrated, and she’s worked like a demon, as you know, as secretary of state, as a senator, and in the years since,” Bill Clinton told Charlie Rose, in a clip of an interview aired on CBS Monday evening.

Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis jolts presidential race | The Hill |

Hillary Clinton has been ill with pneumonia, her doctor revealed in a Sunday evening statement that shook up the presidential race. Clinton’s health had been the subject of much speculation, fueled most recently by a coughing fit she had at the start of a campaign event in Cleveland last Monday.

But now it seems that the symptoms she blamed on seasonal allergies may have been a sign of the pneumonia that was diagnosed on Friday.

Dr. Lisa R. Bardack released a statement via the campaign revealing the diagnosis on Sunday evening, hours after the Democratic presidential nominee was seen stumbling on video after exiting a 9/11 memorial event early.

Bardack said Clinton had an examination at her home in Chappaqua after the incident, which was a result of dehydration and overheating.

She said the candidate is “re-hydrated and recovering nicely.”

  It’s no secret that Charlie Rose is a friend of the Clinton’s because he has said so. As a fill-in for CBS, Charlie Rose showed his bias when he interviewed Bernie Sanders in April 2016.

  I don’t know if Bill Clinton’s interview with Charlie Rose is going to help Hillary. WJC’s approval rating is now about the same as George W. Bush’s, which is 52% favorable and 43% unfavorable. Of course, it is not uncommon for past unpopular presidents to become more popular after they leave office.
  
  “As Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has drawn on and her own numbers have dropped badly, the former president has seen his image take a hit too. A Quinnipiac University poll in May showed his favorable rating at 48 percent, while a CNN poll last month showed it at 51 percent — down from a high of 66 percent as recently as 2014.”

    The YouGov poll, commissioned by the Times in London, found that 46% of voters did not believe that Clinton was suffering from a mild version of pneumonia, and that a combination of the lung condition, allergies and overheating led to her fainting on Sunday.
    
    About 45% of the 1,910 respondents from YouGov’s First Verdict panel did believe the explanation given by Clinton’s doctor after her campaign initially said the former secretary of state merely felt “overheated”. The remaining 9% of those asked said they were uncertain over the explanation.

      From this article, it appears some people think HRC is using a body double. This story is getting interesting.
      
      “In a sign of the distrust of a woman widely regarded as an ‘establishment’ candidate, Clinton’s reappearance outside her daughter’s apartment, in apparent high spirits just a few hours after collapsing, has fed conspiracy rumours that she uses a body double.”
      - Marie3 on September 13, 2016 at 9:32 pm
        
        I’m not visually acute, and while it would never have occurred to me to speculate about a “body double” and still think it’s ridiculous, there was something that seemed off about HRC’s appearance leaving her daughter’s apartment. So, not surprised that others had the same impression, but they appear unable to shirk off such an impression when no reason for it is apparent and may never be. Plenty of things in life remain odd and never explained; only nutty and/or obsessive people jump from oddities to wild speculations.

  oui, what an unfortunate pursuit of speculations, claims and assertions on Clinton’s health you’ve entered into and encouraged here in recent days. It’ll be hard to look at you the same after this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Infowars began publishing your claims.
  
  I would have been just as disgusted if you had entered this set of posts about Trump’s health if he had experienced a similar health episode. Based on what happened in whole over the weekend, your excited pursuits here of Hillary and her campaign are not supported by the evidence.

  The caption on the picture is correct — it sure looks like the woman holding Clinton’s wrist is checking Clinton’s pulse. (I am a retired FF/EMT, so I am familiar with taking pulses. Of course, it is not normally done with the patient standing, but nothing is normal with politicians.)

    Nobody is questioning the caption to that photo. Although a bit of caution is urged because of the other photo running around with the caption that HRC is being given a neuro-test is false. We don’t know the identity of HRC’s companion in this photo and there would be nothing unusual about her holding HRC’s arm in that manner by anyone merely assisting another person that reported she didn’t feel well.

The inside story of Clinton’s sick day | Politico |

Hillary Clinton never lost consciousness, and never stopped talking on her phone — and never put anyone else in danger — after her near swoon at a Sept. 11 memorial on Sunday in New York …

The near-fainting spell, according to Clinton’s staff, is a greater political problem than a physical one — …

The real issue is chronic dehydration, exacerbated by her lung problem and Clinton’s reluctance to drink water, which has become a source of tension with her staff.

“She won’t drink water, and you try telling Hillary Clinton she has to drink water,” said a person in her orbit – who described a frenzied rehydration mission that included multiple bottles of water and Gatorade.

On Sunday, Clinton began showing signs of light-headedness standing at the Sept. 11 memorial service next to New York Sens. Charles Schumer — who on Monday disclosed that he too just got over a bout of pneumonia — and Kirsten Gillibrand, the sources said, and they flagged aides to get her water [I haven’t seen HRC drinking at the 9/11 Memorial – Oui]. After a few minutes, the candidate and her staff determined that she needed to get out of the heat [after an hour and a half, great planning for a little shade and ventilation – Oui] and headed to a pick-up area, where she was seen — and filmed – stumbling into her van in a near swoon.

…
Even before the episode, Clinton had suffered from a persistent hacking cough — and so did several members of her top staff, including Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, who was briefly hospitalized with a severe upper respiratory infection and dehydration last month.

The campaign also moved to shut down reports by right-wing websites speculating that Clinton may have infected her grandkids Charlotte and Aidan and a little girl she hugged on a Manhattan sidewalk on Sunday.

“She is not contagious, she’s been told by her doctors,” Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon said during a round of TV interviews.
[Who made this call as HRC was at Chelsey’s appartment shortly after her “minor” spell of dizziness – Oui]

“She was playing with her grandkids yesterday and they don’t have
anything to worry about because she’s not contagious at this point.”

Fallon also provided a few more details about the incident, saying Clinton did not lose consciousness at any point. “I think as she was getting into the vehicle she got a little bit dizzy. She was helped into the vehicle but immediately upon being seated there, she was talking to staff and making calls,” he said.

  Yeah. This “inside story” sounds too much like BS cover-up PR. A key about spin is not to make it so good that it feeds into the suspected narrative that one is attempting to cover-up.

    She’s evolved. Switched from eating hot peppers to splashing hot sauce on her food and lost her taste for drinking lots of water. The truth? Who the hell knows.

Hillary Clinton ‘healthy and fit’, says doctor

The campaign said she had a chest scan on Friday that showed a “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia“.

Mrs Clinton – who has been recuperating at her suburban New York home – was treated with an antibiotic called Levaquin^R [A levofloxacin antibiotic also prescribed by anthrax infection, has multiple side-effects – Oui] , which she was prescribed for 10 days.

“She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States,” concluded Dr Bardack in the letter.

The physician said Mrs Clinton was up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia, Prevnar and Pneumovax.

The letter did not state when she received those vaccines.

Hmmm …. a mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia? Mycoplasma can be contagious with close contact!

  What is Pneumococcal Disease?
  
  Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, also known as pneumococcus. Pneumococcal bacteria can cause many types of illnesses that range from mild to very severe. When pneumococcal bacteria spread from the nose and throat to ears or sinuses, it generally causes mild infections. When the bacteria spread into other parts of the body, it can lead to severe health problems such pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. These illnesses can be life threatening, especially for adults 65 years or older, people with chronic health conditions, and people whose immune systems are weakened by disease or medicine (immunocompromised). Pneumococcal disease can lead to disabilities like deafness, brain damage, or loss of arms or legs.
  
  There are two vaccines that can prevent pneumococcal disease:
  
  – PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) – Prevnar
  – PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) – Pneumovax
