Pneumonia or not pneumonia--that is the question (paraphrasing Mr. Shakespeare)

I am posting an article here by Nina Illingworth with the full knowledge that some may find this offensive. So, like the motion Picture Rating Board I rate this article NFTS (Not for thin-skinned).

Ms. Illingworth likes the F bomb as much as Henry Killinger liked dropping cluster bombs on Laos. But let that not detract from her story. I did write about the paradox of Hillary's pneumonia and her oh-so rapid recovery

From this article, the take-away messages are these:

Hillary can't even get her lies straight
She was irresponsible in not taking her physician's advice
If she truly had pneumonia, she got better faster than the speed of sound (cough, cough)
Viral or bacterial, you don't get in the face of a 5 year old exposing the innocent child to your infectious agents (one of which is most certainly infectious bullshit).

To paraphrase David Axelrod, "antibiotics can cure pneumonia--but can't cure bullshit". And this is exactly what the majority of the public believes about Clinton--that they can't believe anything about Clinton.

I assume there will be video of her arriving. Maybe they will stream the rally live (althoght I doubt it b/c they never know when she will fade). I assume she has already left the oxygen tent this morning in Chappaqua.

...what her doctors are giving her to give her those bursts of energy and focus that she's been able to pull off over the past few months? You think maybe she's on meth?

I don't know if such stimulants would make the possibility of a seizure less likely or not, but they have surely been giving her something to help her cope with her failing body.

Of course, the problem with such 'fixes', they may be starting to have a negative accumulative effect, eh?

I'm beginning to think that she may be very seriously ill, possibly in a life-threatening way...

The fabrication of reality is quite amazing.

Hillary recovered quickly because she was rehydrated, probably a IV fluid administered. That will do the trick. Her doctor stated she was rehydrated.

So Hillary has allergies, and bacterial pneumonia. She became dehydrated and fainted. Hillary was rehydrated and several hours later addressed the media

Her doctor did not state she was being administered stimulants.

believe anything her "doctors" say? The whole point of that article, and a good one by the way, was the fact that one lie after another has been told in a pretty transparent attempt to hide whatever the real problem may be. IF this isn't that big a deal, then why make it one? By lying about it they make it more unbelievable every day.

I still shake my head at how damned dumb her campaign has been. One lie after another and these people still think we'll believe anything they say? The lies are the problem here, not necessarily whatever illness she may have. But by hiding any health problems as they have, they've left themselves wide open for just this type of speculation.

And I hardly think her doctors would tell us if she was being given stimulants, why tell the truth now when lying comes so naturally for them?

I can't even begin to guess at how many "news" reports I've read that described what occurred on 9/11 with Hillary as she attempted to enter the van as "she appeared to stumble". I'd guess 3/4 of the news reports I've read used those exact words.

Perhaps I just have a misunderstanding of the true meaning of the word stumble. I've always thought of it as what happens when your toe unexpectedly catches the uneven crack in the sidewalk. I suspect I could have been wrong all of these years. I really wonder what the media would have to see on video before using the terms , falling, face plant, collapsing, seizure, unconscious or crash and burn.

Media using the phrase "appeared to stumble" is just unbelievably insulting to anyone who watched that video. And a lot of people have watched those videos! Perhaps they are trying to connect with anyone who didn't see the video.

For those old enough to remember, it reminds me of the film clip used by Wild World of Sports years ago of the ski jumper crashing and burning and was described then as "The agony of defeat". Today's media would view that film clip and describe it as he "appeared unsteady on his landing". It's truly to the point you can't believe a damn thing that comes from Hillary Clinton or the media.

or at Chelsea's? I do not buy the dehydration excuse for one second. The specific causes and symptoms of dehydration would rule this out.

HRC denies that she fainted. However, fainting does not seem to be a symptom of bacterial pneumonia anyway, but none of the common symptoms have been claimed.

The most common symptoms of bacterial pneumonia are:

--a cough with thick yellow, green, or blood-tinged mucus
--chest pain that worsens when coughing or breathing
--sudden onset of chills [kind of disputes the overheated meme]
--fever of 102°F or above (fever lower than 102°F in older persons)
--headache
--muscle pain
--breathlessness or rapid breathing
--lethargy or severe fatigue
--moist, pale skin
--confusion, especially among older persons
--loss of appetite
http://www.healthline.com/health/bacterial-pneumonia#Symptoms4

Bacterial pneumonia is contagious. What kind of judgement does it take to avoid hugging a young child when you allegedly have pneumonia?

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) occurs when you get an infection after exposure to bacterial agents outside of a healthcare setting. This is the most common type of bacterial pneumonia. You can get CAP by breathing in respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes or by skin-to-skin contact. Source

Her doctor was not on the scene or at Chelsea's according to the campaign, so exactly what or how does she know about the treatment that HRC received?

The facts are what the doctor released in a statement as to her health. The doctor has test results from which a factual conclusion can be made.
the doctor is highly regarded. I guess it is possible the doctor would falsify her diagnosis or lie to the public, but I find that very improbable.
It seems the more likely scenario is people would rather create a conspiracy theory than except the doctors findings based on tried and proved methods of testing as a factual diagnosis.

She releases only what Hillary wants the news media to know, when she wants them to know it (or is forced to give them a somewhat credible story).

Up until Sunday it was "nothing to see here, she's perfectly healthy, move along".

Sunday she admitted that Ms. Clinton had been diagnosed with "pneumonia" on Friday and "advised" to rest (Ms. Clinton did nothing of the sort), and blamed Ms. Clinton's 9/11 collapse on becoming "overheated" (79 degrees, humidity in the 40s 12-20 mph breeze) and "dehydrated" (not exactly dehydration weather, but if she was stupid enough not to drink anything for hours beforehand, remotely possible). Note: despite sensational reports, Dr. Bardack was not in NYC and did not see or treat Ms. Clinton until after her return to Chappaqua.

Wednesday she admitted, for the first time, that Ms. Clinton had surgery in January to drain a serious ear infection. The "pneumonia" is "mild non-contagious bacterial" (oxymoron unless it was aspiration pneumonia), but Ms. Clinton is "recovering well with antibiotics and rest", and remains "healthy and fit to serve".

Hillary and her VP pick seem to have different recall of current events:

On Monday, Kaine told ABC News that he was informed of Clinton’s diagnosis on Sunday after she left the Sept. 11 event and that it was the first time they had spoken since a joint appearance over Labor Day weekend. But asked Thursday specifically when she told Kaine of the illness, Clinton refused to say.

“My senior staff knew, and the information was provided to a number of people,” she told reporters after a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. “Look, this was an ailment that many people just power through, and that's what I thought I would do as well. I didn't want to stop, I didn't want to quit campaigning. I certainly didn't want to miss the 9/11 memorial. As a senator at that time, I consider it a sacred moment, and I was determined to get there. It didn't work out, so I got the antibiotics up and going, got the rest that I needed and we're going on from there.”

Clinton was further asked what it might signify for their partnership that she had waited two days to tell Kaine of her pneumonia, to which she responded that she has been in recent communication with the Virginia senator but refused to go into further detail.

After a 20-minute speech before a supportive crowd, Mrs. Clinton took a half-dozen questions from reporters, trying to throw cold water on her 285-day streak without a press conference. But even that went south quickly as she tried to downplay the fact that her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, apparently was unaware of Mrs. Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis until the campaign publicly released the information.

It must be difficult to obtain water when you're surrounded by secret service agents. You'd think with the numerous incidents of "dehydration" someone in her entourage would be responsible for carrying around a few bottles of water and having her drink some regularly so she wouldn't get dehydrated!

If I had one incident of dehydration as severe as some of "dehydration events", I'd never leave home without a couple bottles, just in case. The whole story is pure, unadulterated bullshit. You should get your bullshit detector serviced. It's obviously not calibrated correctly.

IANAL, but reading the government's website on health information privacy, two things leap out:

1. It would appear that the patient, HRC, could limit the medical information being disclosed to just that information she wants to disclose. And that would be all the doctor could talk about.

A covered entity must obtain the individual’s written authorization for any use or disclosure of protected health information that is not for treatment, payment or health care operations or otherwise permitted or required by the Privacy Rule.

2. The law also instructs the doctor to provide "the minimum amount of protected health information needed" to address the issue. I take that to mean that there could be more to the story, but the doctor is advised to limit her media statement to the minimum that she believes necessary, and to omit anything else that might be relevant.

A covered entity must make reasonable efforts to use, disclose, and request only the minimum amount of protected health information needed to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure, or request.

Again, I am not a lawyer, so if a HIPAA lawyer disagrees, I will stand corrected.

There's apparently a lot that Hillary's doctor(s) are not saying, either, assuming that they are telling the truth in what they *are* saying. "Clinton has noncontagious pneumonia" potentially covers a lot of territory. If true, it would tell us some things, but could very well not be telling us a lot of other things that are also true.

From the various things the doctors have said so far, I can tell you that they are parsing their statements. (I'm not a medical doctor, but I am a lawyer, and I know parsing when I see it.)

And furthermore, we are saying that anyone who believes they are factual is clueless and has not been paying attention, and last but not least, we are saying that anyone who suggests that they are factual is a HillBot Shill. Get a clue.

Hillary collapsed and had to be dragged like a limp doll into that van and there was a poorly executed cover up with a bullshit spin about pneumonia that does not even hold up to medical scrutiny. The lady either has Front Lob Epilepsy and that was a major seizure, or she has advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease, both of which have been discussed at length on this site, or she has some other major chronic illness that they are covering up that would prevent her from performing the function of CinC of the US ARMED FORCES. The evidence of this has been mounting for months and this latest episode on 9/11 is the most damning evidence thus far, but we all fully expect there to be an even worse one in the near future. Hillary Clinton and her entire campaign have been pathological serial liars about virtually everything and you dare suggest we should accept their word about her health at face value? Are you insane?

I am not not sure two episodes of dehydration in a five year period can be considered a pattern. My mother has had two episodes of dehydration.

I was just answering your question.

As others on this thread have pointed out, Bill Clinton recently said this has happened to her frequently more than once, and her campaign started floating the story that "she won't drink water" right after the incident.

They evidently want people to think it's not unusual for her to get so dehydrated she passes out from it. And that she's too dumb to even drink enough water to avoid it, as well as not taking her doctor's advice to rest and recover from her supposed pneumonia. Pretty sad.

Personally I'm not buying the "dehydrated" excuse for what just happened, and who knows if it's really what lead to her fall and concussion in 2012 or not. There's really no way to ascertain "facts" when it comes to the Clintons. But this story is just not sounding plausible to me.

Fainted? Was that what was happening, when she tried to move after leaning against a cement pillar while the van arrived - and she convulsed, collapsed, needed two people to hold her as upright as possible, before she was dragged into the van - losing a shoe on the way.
Dehydration - so why didn't anyone give her a bottle of water?
Why was the traveling press corps kept confined, so they couldn't follow her out of the event?
Think Gary Byrne has the most accurate description of what happened, and it wasn't fainting or dehydration. Even her staff couldn't come up with anything for almost 90 minutes - took hours before her doctor had a shot at an explanation - useless.

Second, you don't need to wear sunglasses for pneumonia. How do YOU explain those glasses she had on that look exactly like anti-seizure lenses. If she was dehydrated, why did NO ONE give her water? She had medical staff with her. If she had pneumonia, wouldn't they have water with them? And why would they give her a neurological check instead?

And most importantly, that was not fainting. That was a seizure. Her body was stiff, her head tilted back, not forward, her arms angled behind her in a way no one would hold them if they felt dizzy or faint. She jerked before she tried to walk, and continued to spasm as her staff moved her. She was unable to assist them. She couldn't even move her arms in the direction of grabbing any of them. This was before she tipped forward and they shoved her in the van.

That's before you get into all the coughing fits all year, all the reports she can't walk up even a couple of stairs, including eye witness accounts. There are photos of her wearing her special glasses for neurologically caused double vision on the "Stronger Together" campaign plane. She was supposed to be completely cured of all the effects of her concussion, including the double vision, years ago.

She had a seizure on Sunday, because she has some kind of very serious neurological problem, which is apparently getting worse. You might as well accept that now, even if you choose to vote for her. We'll all be getting President Kaine sooner rather than later if she's inaugurated.

I forgot to click to post for ages, then finally did, thinking it would be placed where I had started the comment. Now I see it's basically unnecessary, as so many others are covering this.

Sorry.

In the latest letter her "doctor" claims "non-contagious bacterial pneumonia" --- unfortunately for the cover-up bacterial pneumonia is contagious. Except, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia is usually aspiration pneumonia, which can be an underlying cause of a bacterial pneumonia. It is not spread by coughing because the bacteria live with little to no oxygen.

The underlying causes of aspiration pneumonia are throwing up, brain injury, Parkinsons, and ALS.

1. "Many contagious pneumonias have names, such as bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumonia, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) pneumonia, that indicate the type of pathogen infecting the lung. Some pneumonias have names that are not as clear (for example, "walking pneumonia," which indicates a milder form of Mycoplasma pneumonia). There are many other descriptive terms, such as community-acquired pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and aspiration pneumonia (examples that suggest the source of the organism[s] causing the pneumonia)."

2. What is pneumococcal disease?

Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria (“pneumococcus”). These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including: pneumonia (infection of the lungs), ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis (infection of the covering around the brain and spinal cord), and bacteremia (blood stream infection). Pneumococcus bacteria are spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact with an infected person.

3. Aspiration pneumonia, also called anaerobic pneumonia, is an infection of the lungs caused by a type of bacteria called anaerobic bacteria. The infection is usually not contagious. The type of bacteria that cause this infection live best in places that have little or no oxygen, such as the mouth and intestine.

4. Aspiration pneumonia can be caused by: stomach content entering your lungs after you throw up; a brain injury or other condition that affects your normal gag reflex; diseases such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Parkinson’s disease or strokes, which can make swallowing difficult; or throwing up when passed out due to over-medication

Hillary said she didn't start antibiotics until AFTER she collapsed. That would mean she intentionally exposed everybody at the ceremony and that little girl.

Unless she lied today.

Or she's mentally incompetent and couldn't get her rehearsed answer out correctly.

I am studying Clinton's type of coughing with different causes. Here is how allergy coughs symptoms are described,

"What Is Hay Fever? Endless sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and runny nose — the symptoms of hay fever — may plague you during blooming seasons."

What i think we have seen, numerous times is aspiration coughing.

Abnormal swallowing can lead to persistent coughing if food triggers the cough reflex by heading down the "windpipe" instead of the "food pipe." Called aspiration, the problem occurs mainly in people with strokes or other neurologic disorders that hamper normal swallowing.

is obviously not going well.

This is one that isn't going away soon. The best thing Hillary could do now is come out with the truth to the public.

She has already claimed brain injury is what prevented her remembering anything at all about the security protocols she was supposed to be using as SoS.

She has also claimed to have "short-circuited" - her excuse for providing misleading information about her emails.

That's funny, I thought the wild Alex Jones health conspiracies and wild and rampant speculation was not going well.
I will believe the actual medical reports and doctors statements before I believe a bunch of arm chair doctors and hack journalists.
I would do the same for your Trump.

'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member

CS in AZ's picture

when she made a major mistake in judgment by attending the ceremony knowing she was ill, having her personal doctor tending to her, right at her side, yet still "becoming dehydrated" and having an incident in public that can't be easily explained, followed by her campaign acting like a bunch of flailing, lying fools trying to cover up whatever actually happened.

Now the speculation has a lot of new fuel, and is spreading beyond this site and a few right wing outlets. The fact that folks like you are suddenly here trying to tamp it down only adds credibility to the idea that the Clinton people are really worried about it now. Oopsie!

I am not suddenly here. I will say that I have defended Hillary almost solely as it pertains to health Issues. I can not defend most of her policy positions. I will say I am not a fan of the far right speculation and conspiracy theory that is being published here. If I wanted that I would go to Utube. I came here for the fearce defense of progressive politics, which is not occurring at Kos. You will find most of my posts in the last month at Kos in defense of Jill Stein and will not criticize anyone for voting green. I will certainly vote Hillary over Trump if it comes to that, I will write in Jill in Indiana if I am certain my vote will not stop Trump from winning this state.

is automatically equivalent to "conspiracy theory", and you're not a fan of it, it's entirely possible that this is not quite the right blog to be on.

Look, save yourself the agony. Realistic, fact-based speculation among grown-ups is not automatically equivalent to "conspiracy theory" and "alex jones" and "right-wing". That's very insulting when it's not true. If you're not a fan of it, perhaps you could avoid posts that have anything to do with it?

keep in mind, most here detest her heinous, meaning hrc, and will not vote for her for any reason. That has to be okay with you or you will run into a lot of push-back. For example, defending her medical lies is bringing you that very push-back. If you want to defend, however, you need to provide links, as well. You have been making statements asking others for links without backing up your claims with links, either. Not acceptable.

You like her, we get it. Most here don't like her. That has to be okay with you.

Have a beautiful evening! Pleasantry

"The “jumpers” reminded us that one day we will all face only one choice and that is how we will die, not how we will live." Chris Hedges on 9/11

I am Okay with the Hillary hate. I am not okay with carrying far right wing water for them. I disliked Clinton policies and have never voted for either. I have voted Green Twice which is probably more than most users here.
I will probably write in Jill, but if need be and it should get closer in Indiana, I will vote Hillary. Of course if it gets close in Indiana it probably won't matter if Hillary or Trump wins so We will see how it goes.
I have spent a lot of time chastising hit diaries against Jill and Bernie, And have criticized Clinton's policies often on DKos. I don't hate Hillary, I don't like their policies. And yes I've criticized them for their arm twisting and power politics. The reality is there are still some bridges to the Democratic Party with progressives, I really think the world of Barbara Lee.
There are no bridges with the Republican Party, they viciously hate every progressive and liberal. I also see nothing productive in creating lies about someone's personal health and it is a bridge burning endeavor. So if it's Okay I would like to bring my point of view into these essays for balence.

And the DNC dynamited the bridge, using nefarious, unethical and immoral methods various and sundry, and is now attempting to march Sanders' supporters at gunpoint over those one-way toll bridges and back into the "fold". All of the effort, all of the money, all of the hope, all of the clearly expressed policy principles of an enormous fraction of Democratic party primary voters have been met with disdain and contempt, as exemplarized by HRC's choice of Kaine, as well as demands by HRC's partisans for the full, cheery, happy support -- in money, time and votes - of those same disdained primary voters.

No, indeed, the bridges are all one way.
