TWITTER: I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records. I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?
Clinton has withstood two weeks' worth of health-related attacks from her Republican rival and conservative pundits and websites. Earlier this month, Trump claimed in multiple speeches that Clinton lacks the "mental and physical stamina" required of the presidency.
Clinton laughed off the assertion in an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," last week, and later dismissed Trump's comments as a "paranoid fever dream."
Trump's own medical history has come under renewed scrutiny this week after Harold Bornstein, the physician who authored a glowing assessment of Trump's health in December, revealed to NBC News that he wrote his letter in five minutes and purposely imitated the candidate's rhetorical style.

I mean, it would be easy to compile one that showed every cold she caught — and NOTHING more.
Right, nothing can stop Hillary. She’s superwoman.
Even if some of her medical records were faked or deleted, her biggest problem is her prescriptions. My guess is that she takes one or several prescriptions for various problems. (Most anyone her age is likely to be taking something. I'm her age and in excellent overall health, but even I take three prescriptions for a minor problem.)
It would be extremely difficult to hide prescriptions. Each one has a long paper trail, and a "cover-up" would be politically devastating if it was penetrated. (Trump likely knows from his private investigations what she's taking.) And each prescription comes with a long list of precautionary warnings. (For example, "Can cause headaches, nausea, elevated blood pressure,... Should not be taken in combination with these other medicines... If you have a heart condition, liver condition,... consult your doctor before taking.") We've all laughed at the laundry list of warnings in every drug commercial.
If Hillary reveals the prescriptions she's taking, everyone will immediately search through the list of side effects and wonder if she's suffering from them. If the prescriptions are sometimes used to treat brain conditions (such as from her concussion), everyone will further speculate on her mental and physical health. Whether or not any of that is true, it provides confirmation bias.
Unless Hillary really has a fairly clean medical history, she's in deep trouble. The ground has been laid over the past few weeks (and months) to question her health, to the extent that she had to open a (pre-opened) pickle jar on national TV to try to laugh it off. Now if she stonewalls her health records, nobody will believe her protestations that she's healthy. And if she releases her health records, she'll provide more fodder for her critics.
It's a brilliant move by Trump. Maybe not checkmate, but certainly a highly threatening gambit.
You’re talking about a forgery that nobody could vet because of the very nature of it. She doesn’t have to be a superwoman for this. The subject matter is fundamentally not a hill that can be died on, unless someone truly does not care about HIPAA and the like.
I worked in Walgreens headquarters for a while as a programmer. The lengths they went to in order to keep the Rx data confidential were extreme.
Maybe anticipated problems like this were one reason that HIPAA was ballyhooed (politicians who did not want to be outed on their medical histories) but nonetheless it’s law and someone would have to be insane to spill the beans.
Right now ,Hillary is crying into her beer,I wish it was jebby,I sooooo wish it was jebby
Of course Rx data is supposed to be confidential. But the point is, that data exists and would be difficult to quietly delete. It’s not just a single server with emails under Hillary’s control. If the computers where the prescriptions are listed were broken into, it would look incredibly bad if she had covered up that information in her (sanitized) medical records. For all she knows, those computers have already been hacked just like her emails and the DNC’s emails were penetrated. Trump may already have the evidence in his hands and is ready to pounce, which is why he’s now demanding that she release her medical records.
And if my uncle were plumbed differently, he’d be my aunt.
Rotsa ruck doing a Rx system bust without attracting the law to one’s sorry arse, and WITH the approval of maybe 90% of America.
He’s a backstreet brawler in a business suit.
Trumps doctor didn’t write it in 5 minutes. It was about 5 paragraphs and he said it didn’t take much time because he’s very well aware of Trump’s health......liars.
If you didn’t hear the vacuum lid ‘pop’ then it was already open.
We played it “concern” too long and too hard - that doesn’t work.
What’s your point?
Fact is, Trump suckered the Hillary camp into making health an issue, and it’s a lot bigger issue for her than him.
Counter to that is a demand for the tax records of the Kliton Family Crime Foundation.
My “point” is that they (media) lied about what the doctor actually said. He didn’t write it in “5 minutes” he wrote 5 paragraphs in a short time because he was so well acquainted with Trump’s excellent health. He didn’t have to select and parse words as in the case of Mrs. Clinton’s “doctor.”

I opened a jar of Ragu yesterday, I have real bad Osteoarthritis in my hands, they are disfigured from swollen joints. The Witch is 10 months older than me.
Some idiot at Townhall opined that her Hypothyroidism is stress caused. Since I suffer from it, I can tell you it is an ENDOCRINE disease of the Thyroid and is one of the most IMPORTANT Glands in your body, it controls a lot of body functions including EYES! You are not allowed SOY or Grapefruit, as do some script meds and herbs it interferes with the med, and if you take the dam$ generic you get 30% less hormone. Spend the extra $10 and get the Name Brand. Don’t use an Low Educated Internist to treat it, use an ENDOCRINOLOGIST to treat it, it is their field. Or you will end up with OP brittle bones from to little or to much hormone. There are TWO forms of it. Hashimotos, is the more severe form:

“HEY, Hillary opened a pickle jar on live TV!”.........
A “pre-opened” pickle jar I might add. That was one of the dumbest attempts a self survival I have ever heard of.
Yes it is. Btw, on the prescriptions you're correct and why I mentioned it. Big league paper trail too. It's why I didn't bother to debate the point with some people here, who suggested she could simply create a whole new medical records. That's not going to happen!☺
You have no clue here as usual. And please, post to someone else who might buy your bull sh*t, because I certainly don’t. Cheers.
