Good post.
Wolf could well be like Dr. Drew—drawing on now very old teachings from med school.
“CT (computerized tomography) scans can be without contrast or with contrast dye. CTA (computerized tomography angiogram) is with contrast, as this is designed to highlight blood vessels and adequacy of blood supply (can’t normally visualize blood vessels on X rays or CT without contrast dye).”
Very true. You need the contrast for the CTA in order to determine heart function, but not the chest. I would imagine that they first did a CT for the lungs and then did a CTA to determine if the fluid build up was from the right side of the heart is not working properly (right-sided heart failure), the slowed blood flow causes a buildup of fluid in the veins. The patient’s feet, legs, and ankles begin to swell. This swelling, called edema sometimes spreads to the lungs.
She must have a great doctor. He gives her cutting edge tests, that don’t exist for the peons.

If it is not contagious how did she get it?
If it is non-contagious, how can her staff, as reported by the campaign get it? Did all 6 of them magically get sick at the same time? Or did they catch it from Hillary? Or... did Hillary catch it from one of them? I doubt the last one because that person would have already been found in Ft. Marcy Park.
Legionella (Legionnaires' Disease and Pontiac Fever):
Legionellosis (LEE-juh-nuh-low-sis) is a respiratory disease caused by Legionella bacteria. Sometimes the bacteria cause a serious type of pneumonia (lung infection) called Legionnaires' disease. The bacteria can also cause a less serious infection called Pontiac fever that has symptoms similar to a mild case of the flu.

Be careful not to fall into the snares set up by the Clintons.
Legionnaires' disease doesn't spread from person to person. Instead, the bacteria spreads through mist, such as from air-conditioning units for large buildings. Adults over the age of 50 and people with weak immune systems, chronic lung disease, or heavy tobacco use are most at risk.
Many people exposed to the bacteria don't develop symptoms. Those who do develop symptoms may experience cough, fever, chills, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headaches, and diarrhea.
Legionnaire's disease can be treated with antibiotics, such as azithromycin or ciprofloxacin.
I am clueless here. Just passing on info.
Pneumonia ISN’T contagious.
The germs are.
The media has their marching order to cut away at the first sign of any malfunction with Hillary. You can bet on that. They will serve their queen and HELP HER HIDE any funny goings on.
Doesn't pass the smell test.
A) AIDS, or
B) Subcortical Vascular Dementia (Binswanger's Disease)
Leaning toward 'B'.
First, I'm not defending Hitlery. Far from it. That being said:
Causes and Common Sources of Infection
Legionella is a type of bacterium found naturally in freshwater environments, like lakes and streams. It can become a health concern when it grows and spreads in human-made water systems like
How it Spreads
After Legionella grows and multiplies in a building water system, that contaminated water then has to spread in droplets small enough for people to breathe in. People are exposed to Legionella when they breathe in mist (small droplets of water in the air) containing the bacteria. One example might be from breathing in droplets sprayed from a hot tub that has not been properly cleaned and disinfected.
Less commonly, Legionella can be spread by aspiration of drinking water, which is when water “goes down the wrong pipe,” into the trachea (windpipe) and lungs instead of down the digestive tract. People at increased risk of aspiration include those with swallowing difficulties. In general, Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever are not spread from one person to another. However, this may be possible in rare cases.
Legionella (Legionnaires' Disease and Pontiac Fever) - Diagnosis, Treatment, and Complications:
Treatment and Complications
Legionnaires' disease requires treatment with antibiotics (medicines that kill bacteria in the body), and most cases of this illness can be treated successfully. Healthy people usually get better after being sick with Legionnaires' disease, but they often need care in the hospital.
