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....

And use it as an excuse to use a stool at the debates
That was a Hillary double on the street. Only 1 SS on that detail. No handlers. Her and 1 agent. That was no Hillary.
I think Trump should agree to allow Hillary to do the debates while laying on a stretcher with a full ER staff at her side.
Somewhat? Did this person even watch the video?
let her hide. She can hide till election day.
I’m still hoping her fever goes down to room temperature by October.
She hides out with that video out there where she collapses, she loses big. She can’t have it both ways. Too sick to run for president? Too sick to BE president.
Why is everyone just accepting the latest lie that she has pneumonia now? I doubt it.
More cover-up by the MSM.
Doesn’t look like its affected her appetite at all ...
I just heard Bill say he doesn’t know if he can hold her back until tomorrow!
Well color me surprised..they are already making excuses why Your Thighness wont be able to debate..awwwwwwwwwww poor loaf
Too sick to run for president? Too sick to BE president.
Even if records were released, are you confident they would be truthful? After all, Hillary has total control over what would be released. Considering the consequences of crossing Hillary Clinton the future president, (an evil power hungry witch who has no conscience about destroying lives and reputations, not to mention using the IRS as a weapon), how many doctors would be willing to state the truth if there is indeed something seriously wrong with her health? Hillary’s doctor, who did make a brief statement, sounded as if she was reciting memorized speaking points. Speaking points which the MSM picked up and recited. Where did those talking points come from? The doctor? I doubt that.
The picture of health! Looks like raw turkey.
Fortunately, she doesn’t have pneumonia. Unfortunately, what she does seem to have has neither cure nor expiration date. It’s just a slow decline, which the medication only extends, into a catatonic state and death.
More proof Hillary’s campaign has jumped the shark.
Its over - and Trump is running unopposed.
