I am not a doctor -- as many readers have helpfully pointed out to me over the past 72 hours. So, I reached out to a real doctor to get some answers about Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis and what it might mean for her presidential campaign. Dr. Steven Simpson, the medical director of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at The University of Kansas Hospital, is that real doctor. Our conversation, conducted via email and edited only for grammar and flow, is below.
FIX: Hillary Clinton’s campaign said she was ”overheated” at an event Sunday and she appeared to be somewhat unsteady on her feet – at least briefly. Are symptoms like this consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia, which apparently Clinton had received 48 hours earlier?
Simpson: These symptoms and signs are absolutely consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia 48 hours previously. “Overheated” may well mean that she had a fever, although it is difficult to say. Pneumonia is commonly associated with intravascular volume depletion, or more precisely, causes intravascular volume depletion, which the lay public may call dehydration. Often, the inflammation associated with pneumonia causes poor appetite and poor thirst, while the fever causes increased evaporative losses....

Her numbers crater every time people lay eyes on her.
Hmm just like Obama
Don’t you sometimes feel like Roddy Piper in They Live
Pneumonia is not as stupid an idea as most think. Madam Benghazi has an excuse to hide behind the "doctors orders" NO debates, no appearances where the public gets a chance to see her drop again. And the lying medical profession will say she can be 100% after pneumonia before she raises her right hand.
If the public knows she has Parkinson's disease, it's all over. Pneumonia gives her a good chance to pull it all off.
Somewhat unsteady on her feet??? How much lipstick can be put on one pig?
And I suppose that the Titanic seemed to have had a slight leak while the Hindenburg suffered a minor landing anomaly.
woops-wrong thread
Don’t you know, she is going to ‘power through it’.
“she appeared to be somewhat unsteady on her feet”
She looks like The Crypt Keeper!
The come back BITCH!...
“Her only hope of winning is to stay out of sight until the election is over.”
And that is the key...it has all along been behind the entire strategy...make it inevitable, make it all about Trump, stay away from crowds, stay hidden and ride the name. Now they really have to do it in spades...she’s getting worse. That video Sunday put her in a terrible situation.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hard-core Democrats would vote for her even if she was in a casket, and Trump's supporters aren't going to vote for her under any circumstances. But independent swing voters aren't going to buy into that scenario.
I'll tell you what's likely to happen, in fact. Many voters who currently support third-party candidates for reasons of principle are going to really think twice about it.
But...but...but she told her media toads and that little female child prop that she feels “great”. She’s “powering through” her pneumonia except when the Secret Service is tossing her sick ass into the back of a van and hoping she doesn’t throw up on the carpet and upholstery.
Pneumonia is a symptom of Parkinson’s disease:

Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death of Parkinson’s sufferers.

Nobody knows what she has and won’t until somebody with knowledge and truthfulness comes forward or she becomes gravely ill. All we know is she seems to be a sick puppy. The rest at this point seems to be conjecture.
Isn't this how older members of the Politburo used to get eased out of power by the Communist Party, back in the USSR?
A little "cough"; a little "cold" ; a little "pneumonia"...?
People have been calling the Dems "Communists" for years.
Just saying.
Don’t forget the time Hillary was late returning to the stage during a primary debate. MSM shrugged it off like it was no big deal. It was a huge red flag. And, even if it was not health related, it would have destroyed any Republicsn candidate. 100 times worse than Rubio reaching for a sip of water. Plus the hag had the audacity to joke that a recent coughing fit was caused by an allergy to “Trump.” What a witch. These are things that are seen in her very limited, highly controlled public appearances. What is going on behind closed doors?
Pneumonia doesn’t make you semi-conscious and unable to stand.
