Hillary Clinton's health

Leaving the 9/11/16 ceremonies in New York.
Approx 90 minutes after event started.
Went to daughter's apartment.
Campaign statement said something about her being bothered by the weather? Heat. Wrong day for that excuse.
Here she is, looks like collapsing, and being helped into her van.

"there, there, dear, it will be all right" - and why is Hillary holding her right hand over her heart.
If you were walking, wouldn't your hand just simply hang loose from the shoulder.

Thanks again to Alex re: Zeiss anti-seizure lenses. Definitely not regular sun glass lenses. AND she never wore sun glass lenses out of doors before either. Wearing these lenses is a BIG change for her.

Wonder how they're gonna deal with this when she's indoors?

One doctor claimed she had Parkinson's. She moves her hands like to her heart so as not to show hand tremors. May also explain the zombie walk reports.

She wears contact lenses, has very bad vision. These were NOT regular sunglasses. You can tell how DARK BLUE the lenses are.

um, sooooo.... the public wasn't buying the 'heat' story and they had to make up something more extreme.

Remind me again, please, how the new and improved story is supposed to fly that NOW they are saying she's been sick for several days, but they somehow forgot to mention that this morning when she was caught on tape swooning? Did they wait to tell us because they were running focus groups to find out what storyline is most likely to get swallowed? How to they think this will help her trustworthiness numbers?

This woman is toxic in every way.

Pneumonia can kick your ass. She doesn't need to be out and about. She needs to be resting. Otherwise, she'll end up in the hospital or dead.

Too stupid to stay home when she has pneumonia?

Btw, pneumonia is nothing to mess around with in the elderly.

Edited to add:

Also, she was diagnosed with pneumonia Friday, not today. So why did the campaign take 90 minutes to come up with the earlier "overheated" statement, when her entourage knew she had pneumonia? I giver the doctor's statement 4 Pinocchios.

Yes, the two maladies are easily confused. By no one. Can they be not be straight about ANYTHING?

Ok. Pneumonia. What kind? Viral? Bacterial? Since she is on a course of anti-biotics, I guess it's bacterial. Pneumonia is no laughing matter - it's killed off a lot of people quickly in recent years, a la Jim Henson and others. It can move quickly and be deadly.

But yet again, the Clinton campaign threw up an inaccurate smokescreen which only serves to erode their credibility. Because that's how they roll.

" “Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” FDR "

But think back a few days.

A few days ago we saw endless videos of HRC coughing. Apparently this story got legs and got lots of mileage. Then an article came out with Obama's former physician (and another MD) saying that HRC needs thorough medical testing and that the press & people should be sensible and sane about this. THEN an article came out in which 3 of HRC's people (only 2 named, 3rd anonymous) 'warned media to tread lightly' (as Alligator Ed titled his piece here about it). Then, today, HRC dropped like a sack of rocks in such a way that it looked to me like she would have shattered both knees if two people hadn't lifted her by the arms and dragged her to the vehicle, pushing her in head-first.

What Clinton's people actually did in that 'Tread lightly' article was: They told the media that the 'coughing' story (along with all health-related stories) was considered by HRC's team to be 'baloney' from 'right-wing sources', and that was how they expected the media to treat such stories.

With this story published just a day or so before HRC was diagnosed with pneumonia and put on antibiotics, if her doctor's latest statement is to be believed. ( And for now I still consider it credible.)

So here's my question: Now that the pneumonia diagnosis has been made public, are the 3 HRC mopes going to go back out and apologize for telling the people that the coughing story was 'baloney' (the usual nothingburger) and for instructing the media in how and what they should report?

I won't hold my breath.

Yet another lie. You've just collapsed in a spectacular manner, apparently due to pneumonia (why were you in NYC?), which usually makes someone feel like shit, yet hours later, you're still 'recovering nicely'.

that I've done but once in 3 months....I went back to take a look at the GOS. Yeah. I looked at the diary that nailbender put up gently (IMO) talking about Hillary's medical emergency today. The comments were awful. It's hard for me to believe that I was ever a part of that mess. (I salve my soul by reminding myself that I got there in Feb. 2005, looking for a lifeline after Bush The Lesser was reelected.)

Anyway, if I ever had a notion about returning to TOP, those thoughts couldn't have survived the delusional comments in that diary. I'm assured that Hillary will be up on water skis again by the end of the week. The total refusal to even consider that something is physically wrong with her was astonishing. It brings to mind the communist China of my youth. As Chairman Mao was dying, the state run newspapers calmed the people about his health with pictures of the Chairman swimming in the Yangtze River:

Why is she wearing a ratcatcher? If she was hot she could unbutton it.

Latest over at TOP is she's a non sweater. That would bely the dehydration nonsense, because non sweaters are less likely to become dehydrated because they don't sweat. My grandmother was one. She was a bit overweight and could run circles around Hillary, and she never had seizures. She made it to almost 105.

to tread lightly IRT mentioning her heinous's health, this after being diagnosed with pneumonia (cough, cough), but in between all the excitement of the day we are told she was "overheated" then a few hours later that all is well, then in what is certain to be the last spin on this medical episode of the day we are told she has pneumonia.

What will the news be when we wake up tomorrow?

And we the (adjective of the day) are then told to trust her, I think not.

in the 'tread lightly' article here yesterday by Alligator Ed.

Please go back and read Ed's piece again. He has quoted amply from the article. Clinton's people they view any story about HRC's health a 'baloney' from 'right-wing sources' -- and they are clearly instructing the media to treat it that way.

So she knew Friday that she should not attend this function, where she didn't need to speak, right? Yet she goes to this non-critical event, has a near collapse including that head shaking caught on video, and this is how her physician spins it now:

The announcement late Sunday by Clinton’s personal physician, Lisa Bardack, that Clinton had become “overheated and dehydrated” after being placed on antibiotics last week came after a day of frenzied speculation about the candidate’s health and its impact on a tightening race.

Several authors worked on this piece, and this is why they think today's spin was such an issue:

The announcement that the candidate is suffering from a lung ailment — which came after her staff stonewalled reporters and pronounced her fully recovered — isn’t likely to instantly quell questions about her long-term fitness.

"The Clintons have this notion that they only go as far as they need to" in terms of disclosure, said an ally close to the current Democratic nominee. "They can't afford to approach this that way."

In a wild-card campaign shaped by branding, spin and bombast, Clinton’s health scare is a rare event rooted in flesh-and-blood truth — she’s either healthy or she’s not — and on Sunday that question took on an unanticipated urgency.

1. Maybe Presidents and their spouses need Secret Service protection until they die, or no one would would risk running for President. Hillary would have it now anyway, because she is herself running for President. We've had proof, via Reagan and Kennedy. that Secret Service protection is not an impenetrable shield against physical harm. However, my taxpayer dollars are for the purpose of keeping Hillary physically safe, not for shielding a Presidential nominee from embarrassment or understandably curious eyes, as the video shows. I am so damn sick of tax dollars being spent to keep relevant information about public figures and government activities from me, while the NSA spying on a private persons like me for no apparent reason. Our government is totally upside down and backwards.

2. Speculation on this thread about a double brings up a point. Please note that my point is not about Hillary's actual appearance in real life.

Throughout the primary, we saw hundreds of pics and videos of Hillary that varied widely, especially as far as how old or young she looked in the photo. In some, she looked like a vital, happy woman glowing in her late thirties or early forties and, in some, mostly on RW sites, she looked like a rather unhealthy, exhausted, sour woman of over eighty.

Almost as soon as the primary ended, however, most of the photos and videos that I saw online looked much more like what might expect of a woman pushing 70 who is fair skinned and came of age long before sun block was used much. In my perception, the change was both marked and sudden. In any event, FWIW, I don't have much of a reliable idea what Hillary looks like in real life and I am so used to seeing her appearance vary greatly. Therefore, getting a double by me would be relatively easy.

I leave the comments that are more directly about her health to others.

There is no justice. There can be no peace.

The photos that I was seeing during the primary were of current events, like the 2016 Democratic Presidential primary debates. I just did some googling, though, and came up with pics from the same event that vary dramatically. So, maybe my point about timing--primary vs. general campaigns--is not valid, after all. Maybe I just happened to be seeing mostly airbrushed pics during the primary. However, my most recent google search does underscore that slipping a double past me would not be difficult. (I have spotted doubles of other public figures on occasion.)

We're going to be treated to every image of someone holding her up and steadying her from the last year. I think there will be many of them.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

they would have had her seated while waiting for the car? I know I've had heat exhaustion (I don't think it was heat stroke which is worse I believe than heat exhaustion but I could be wrong) and when it happened to me I actually fell down, which was the only way I knew it was a heat injury. And I don't believe I could stand up right after having it either, but had to sit until I cooled down enough to get up. The movements she makes when they come to get her to move her towards the car look funny too - almost like she wasn't fully conscious somehow, but can't tell that from behind.

I think she'll keep going until it kills her before she'll ever drop out, and really, that's just fucking sad. How damned sad that you need power that much you'd risk the rest of your life for it, missing out on grandchildren, etc just for that job? I guess it is as others here have stated - she and Bill simply owe too much to whoever to let her drop out now. And Bill will be there to take over if she can't do it. But I do think this run is all about her proving to herself, Bill and every one else that she will be better than he was at it. If she keeps going this way though, that little revenge fantasy is going to back fire on her - big time.
