She approaches her seventh decade with what any 60-year-old wants most - good health - but Clinton recalled a potentially fatal scare in 1998.
It came while she was campaigning on behalf of Chuck Schumer's New York Senate bid and a swollen right foot caused her terrible pain. She thought she just needed to slow down from constant flying.
A White House doctor told her to rush to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a large blood clot behind her right knee.
"That was scary because you have to treat it immediately - you don't want to take the risk that it will break lose and travel to your brain, or your heart or your lungs. That was the most significant health scare I've ever had."
Clinton said she no longer takes blood thinners and otherwise has enjoyed good health while zig-zagging across the country for the past nine months, keeping a schedule that exhausts aides half her age.

FReeper SERKIT was the first to bring up the previous incident.
Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located.
I know, because I have had a few.
Congrats for scooping the lamestream media tonight.
S**t happens.
As also does the Hillabeast and the Obamadork.
All should be flushed promptly to avoid disease.

I’ve posted numerous times over the past few months, in regards to her possible 2016 run, about how unhealthy she looks.
She might get herself healthier, but not healthy enough to run for President.
Remember Vince Foster?
How about those “missing” income tax returns?
Anybody who thinks this villaness is incapable of fabricating s medical issur when its convenient is a fool.

Just heard a news flash that said Hillary is in the hospital. Maybe her stroke was real.
Glad you survived. They can sneak up on you and sneak away with you.
"Hillary Clinton looms so large in the political landscape today, it’s hard to remember when she didn’t.
But, in fact, she was relatively unknown to most Americans until January 26, 1992.
On that Sunday night, Hillary and her husband Bill Clinton appeared together on 60 Minutes, in a heavily watched interview with Steve Kroft that aired right after the Superbowl."
The ironic dual anniversary of two famous Clinton quotations
Of course if she looks at running in 2016, the media will ask whether or not health disqualifies her from running just like they did McCain.
Right everyone? Right?
I know somene with that problem. It’s very treatable but you have to get on it right away. Prayers for Mrs. Clinton in this matter.
She may have been blessed with my favorite: popliteal aneurysm. Will definitly give your life dose of hurry-up.
Forgive me if I don’t drop to my knees this very second.. you might as well pray for the repose of the soul of satin
They sure are. I wouldn’t wish ill on anyone.
Satin = Satan
“Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located”
Yes I pretty much know how scary it is. Back in Sep. 2010 I fell and luckily I did not break my leg however my leg started to burn and I developed numerous blisters on the leg, some hugh. About a month later some of the blisters were drying up and falling off except one on my knee. The doctor was curious why this one particular didn’t & was not dry. So she cut it open to see inside and lo behold there were numerous blod clots some small and medium. So she made a cut and removed them. I assume everything was alright but in the back of my mind I thought I was carrying these blood clots for about a month.
December came around and one night I felt so weak and I was in a chat room and they notice I was not making any sense. They called 911 for me I was taken to the hospital and the ER doctor asked me who was my doctor and I told him and he immediately ran out to contact my doctor, I then knew this was serious. I was told I had a very very mild stroke, do I then knew maybe a very small clot may have traveled up.
So yes they can be scarey I do know they were injecting me with something for the blood clot though I don’t recall what it was.
Hook, line and sinker.
Not me.
The medical name for her problem is canklitis.
