"Real cause for worry: Facts on Hillary’s concussion" (by Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, MD, MPS)
NY Post ^ | May 19, 2014 | Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, MD, MPS

Karl Rove created a stir with his recent suggestion that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may have suffered traumatic brain injury in December 2012.

Speaking at a conference in California, he noted, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Let’s ignore the media hyperventilating and look at what Rove actually suggested.

Secretary Clinton reportedly “fainted, fell and banged her head,” as The Daily Beast put it, suffering a subdural hematoma, or a hemorrhage between her brain and skull.

While surgery is sometimes needed in such cases, Clinton was “treated with blood thinners on Monday at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head,” CNN reported.

“Disabilities resulting from a TBI depend upon the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and the age and general health of the individual,” says the NINDS.

And following TBI, “common disabilities include problems with cognition (thinking, memory, and reasoning), sensory processing (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell), communication (expression and understanding).”

Clinton didn’t just bump her head. Her husband said last week that her injury was, “a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over.”

Good question. I worked as an assistant chaplain at a Veteran’s Hospital in Lex, Ky, way back in the early 80’s. One of my wards was alcohol/drug rehab.

I remember one guy in particular who came in all beat to hell about the head and shoulders. He couldn’t (or wouldn’t) remember what happened to him. Kept saying something about a fence post. It wasn’t a driving accident.

But how well would Terry Schiavo have done?

As well as Da Hill would, if TS had been doctored instead of medicated and if her husband loved her as much as he did himself. TS may have recovered fully. We'll never know.

Hillary Clinton is a fall down drunk. She is drunk all the time. Google “is Hillary Clinton too drunk to be president”.

They have no one. Elizabeth Warren. They’re pulling Julian Castro out of his tower in downtown San Antonio where he reigns over his illegal immigrant takeover of that region, to be in charge of HUD.

He is a charismatic speaker, which is all the Dem voters care about, and when the speaking is all communist bs which his is.

I can't help thinking that Bill Clinton said this because he really doesn't want her to be president (although he can never say that publicly or privately).

So he decided to take the opportunity that Rove's statement presented, and made a statement that would sound like he is caring and sympathetic and coming to her defense, where really he is just casting further doubt on her health.

Correct. But I believe he’s still a Canadian Citizen, if not a dual UK Citizen as well.

So that's why he whispers all the time; so we cannot detect he's a limey.

One of the comments on the NY Post side was that Bill is looking to take over for Hill like Eleanor did when FDR became too ill.

So, she has this history of a concussion, she gets elected, she gets ill, and Bill steps in to “help her”, since “helping” is a non-elected position.
