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

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.

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.
