Is Hilllary Healthy?

Clinton suffered a fall in December 9, 2012 at home. Since she lies about everything it's impossible to know what was the cause. The official release is that she had a stomach bug and was dehydrated. Possible, but given her endless prevaricating, obfuscating and outright lying I would suspect something more chronic and systemic.

The official diagnosis was "Concussion". But on December 30 she was admitted to the hospital. "In the course of a follow-up exam today, Secretary Clinton's doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at New York-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours. Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is required."

If she has a blood clot, then she had a hematoma, possibly a small subdural hematoma. Quite often this is treated by boring a small hole in the skull and draining any pooled blood. One of the side effects of this is siezures. I know this for a fact, because a close friend had the same thing and the biggest worry was seizures. He was on on anti seizure meds for a while.

Other types of TBIs are a contusion, which is a bruise on the brain that can cause swelling, and a hematoma, which is bleeding in the brain that collects and forms a clot.

This is from Head Injuries: Causes and Treatments TBI is traumatic brain injury.

Is she having seizures? One video on You Tube suggests the positive.

Is it fair game to talk about a candidate's health? I certainly think so, since that person is asking to be made an entire branch of the US government. She also has had a dry, chronic cough for a long time. That coupled with the fainting at home could point to any number of chronic diseases, especially cardio-vascular diseases. I think that in the interest of fairness all candidates for President should open their medical files to an impartial third party who would be obligated to report any health issues that might effect their ability to continuously do the job of chief executive..

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties.. This...is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.--John Adams

that video just shows the mescaline kicking in. She didn't even spill her coffee.

Yes, the medical condition of a candidate is an issue. OTOH, we were concerned about McCain's medical condition and he's still alive and as cranky as ever.

as we are over three score. There is also the weight gain, happening to me and I am praying for hypothyroid disease next week. Plus, I dislike pantsuits, never owned one, skirt-suits I had several. We are not allowed to ask, even though that was a yuuuge deal for a candidate a few years older.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

and at her age she really should be releasing a bill of health. She'll do that along with her release of the Goldman Sachs speech transcripts.

The real health issue concerns that nutcase the GOP managed to provide to America on a tarnished, possibly stolen, platter. Mentally, he poses a danger to us all.

Her persistent cough is probably from acid reflux. Happens to a lot of overweight people.

or perhaps she's beginning to have trouble digesting her own lies? Or perhaps she bathes herself like a cat and has hairballs? We'll never know!

Now that I'm talking to myself I can speculate irresponsibly...

Startle Epilepsy
Startle seizures are induced by sudden and unexpected stimuli. The startle (unexpected and sudden presentation of the stimulus) is the provoking factor, although, rarely, patients may be specifically sensitive to one sensory modality. Sudden noise is the main triggering stimulus, but somatosensory and less often visual stimuli are also effective in some patients.

An absence seizure causes a short period of “blanking out” or staring into space. Like other kinds of seizures, they are caused by abnormal activity in a person’s brain.

There are two types of absence seizures:

Simple absence seizures: During a simple absence seizure, a person usually just stares into space for less than 10 seconds. Because they happen so quickly, it’s very easy not to notice simple absence seizures — or to confuse them with daydreaming or not paying attention.
Complex absence seizures: During a complex absence seizure, a person will make some kind of movement in addition to staring into space. Movements may include blinking, chewing, or hand gestures. A complex absence seizure can last up to 20 seconds.

Absence seizures can also happen with other kinds of seizures.

bejeezuz She has always been unhealthy if you consider that her sickness is a lack of human decency combined with a psychotic violent power hunger. In short the woman is nuts, dangerous and armed and should be the last person to have her hands on the levers of power. I don't understand why people think she's any less of a psycho then Trump. They are both sick sick people.
