Hillary Clinton’s physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack released a summarized update today of Madame Secretary’s health, which should be called the Smokescreen on the Hudson.

Here is the letter in its entirety:

This letter is a summary update on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health since the release of my previous medical statement in July 2015. Mrs. Clinton has been seen by me regularly this year for routine care. She has had recurrent blood testing for Coumadin dosing and adjustments. Her blood levels have been relatively stable. She also has had several allergy flares over the past year, which has been a typical pattern for most of her life. In consultation with her allergist, she responded well to her medication adjustments.

In January of 2016, Mrs. Clinton developed symptoms of sinusitis and an ear infection, which was treated with antibiotics and steroids. Over the ensuing few weeks, she noted progressive pain in her left ear despite treatment, and subsequently was evaluated by her ENT physician. This evaluation confirmed a sinus and ear infection, with increased fluid in her left ear. To help alleviate her symptoms, a myringotomy tube was placed in her left ear in January of 2016.

After the tube was placed, Mrs. Clinton had significant improvement in her symptoms. Further follow-up evaluation with a CT scan of her brain and sinuses was done in March of 2016. This scan showed no abnormalities of the brain and mild chronic sinusitis. Her symptoms resolved and she continued symptom-free for the next six months. On Friday, September 2nd, I evaluated Mrs. Clinton for a 24-hour history of a low grade fever, congestion and fatigue. On examination, she was noted to have a temperature of 99.4; her vital signs were otherwise normal as was her physical exam. She was advised to rest, put on a short course of antibiotics and continued on her allergy medications for an upper respiratory tract infection in the setting of her seasonal allergies. Over the next several days as she traveled, her congestion worsened and she developed a cough. She was advised to see me when she returned from her travels for further testing. On Friday, September 9th, she was seen and evaluated in my office. A non-contrast chest CT scan, including a CTA calcium score, was performed. This test allowed for specific imaging of her lungs while also following up on cardiac risk stratification from 2010 given her family history of heart disease. The results of the CT scan revealed a small right middlelobe pneumonia; her coronary calcium score was again zero. She was treated with antibiotics for pneumonia and advised to rest. This was a mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.

On Sunday, September 11 at the 9/11 Memorial event, she became overheated and dehydrated and as a result felt dizzy. I examined her immediately upon her return home; she was re-hydrating and recovering nicely. I advised her to stay home and rest for the next several days. Mrs. Clinton has since been evaluated by me several times and continues to improve. Mrs. Clinton’s current medications include Armor Thyroid, Coumadin dosed as directed, Levaquin (for a total ten days), Clarinex, as well as B12 as needed. After consultation with her hematologist, it was decided again not to change her anticoagulation to a newer agent. Her recent testing, all of which was done within the past month, has been normal. She remains up to date on all of her immunizations, including Prevnar and Pneumovax. Her Coumadin levels have been adjusted as needed according to regular lab testing. She had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound. She receives routine dental care. Her thyroid blood tests are within normal limits. Of note, she has remained stable for many years on Armor thyroid to treat her hypothyroidism (a low T3 level). Her laboratory testing (vitamin D, CBC, fasting blood glucose, comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1-C, vitamin B12) was normal, including cholesterol of 189, LDL of 103, HDL of 56 and triglycerides of 159. Her vital signs showed blood pressure of 100/70, heart rate of 70, respiratory rate of 18, temperature of 97.8 and pulse-oximetry of 99%. The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition.

My overall impression is that Mrs. Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia. She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States.

Sincerely,

According to Dr. Bardack, Mrs. Clinton is practically fit as a fiddle and as right as rain. She takes some blood thinning medication, thyroid meds and antibiotics. Sure she has some sinusitis and pneumonia, but who doesn’t take a sick day every once in a while.

Nowhere in the letter is there any mention of the myriad of symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Hillary Clinton has been exhibiting and that an array of noted physicians have been discussing for the last few months.

Nowhere in the letter is there mention of a debilitating disease that Hillary Clinton is most certainly suffering from and which would automatically disqualify her for the nation’s highest office.

Dr. Bardack’s letter mysteriously failed to discuss:

Hillary’s strange bug eyed expressions, particularly noted during the convention.

Hillary’s African-American Secret Service agent who carries Epipen injectors and who told her to keep talking after she froze on stage, in a strange bit of fear and anxiety, which also happens to be a symptom of Parkinson’s.

The parade of Secret Service sedans, limos, SUV’s and vans equipped with special handicapped access.

Hillary’s consistent episodes of violent coughing lasting for minutes at a time.

Hillary’s failure to maintain balance and her having to be assisted while walking.

The neurological test which was administered to Hillary by a nurse at the 9/11 Memorial.

Hillary’s total lack of energy and stamina.

Hillary’s blue anti-seizure sunglasses she wears.

hillary-wearing-anti-seizure-lenses

Hillary’s failure to remember words and sentences while speaking to crowds.

Hillarys’s bobble head like, petit mal seizures.

Hillary’s email inquiries about various Parkinson’s Disease medicines.

Hillary’s refusal to be taken to Bellevue on Sunday, where she would have been examined by independent doctors.

A word of wisdom to Dr. Bardack; the Clintons are using you. You are betting your reputation on the machinations of scoundrels.

The Clintons are setting you up for failure, Dr. Bardack. Others have put their trust in the Clintons and ended up with their reputations tarnished and their careers in ruins.

Don’t come crying to the American public, Dr. Bardack when the true facts surrounding Mrs. Clinton’s illnesses are finally revealed to the nation.

Any lay person with eyes and ears and brains can deduce that Hillary Clinton is a very sick woman. Any lay person with eyes and ears and brains can deduce that Hillary is suffering from more than mild pneumonia and sinus and allergy issues. Anyone who can read, Dr. Bardack, knows that lung infections, such as pneumonia are a common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease.

Of course the Clintons believe the American public, particularly those souls in the basket of deplorables were born yesterday.

It is their arrogance which will eventually be their undoing and lead to Mr. Trump’s triumphant victory in November.

(um...which post were you referring to? I’m just wondering why she takes Coumadin.)

In the media battle over the state of Hillary's health that must now ensue, the Clinton forces will use this report to reassure those who want to believe. The media, for the most part, wants to believe and they will seize on this report.

Trump supporters will point out that the report fails to deal with those issues which were raised in this article, and it appears that the doctor is covering her ass by merely referring to her previous report which talks about her concussion and its consequences. My belief is that the doctor is deliberately segregating that set of symptoms away and considering only the immediate pneumonia and allergy questions. But my belief is apparently weakened by this sentence:

Further follow-up evaluation with a CT scan of her brain and sinuses was done in March of 2016. This scan showed no abnormalities of the brain and mild chronic sinusitis

I don't know whether a CT scan of her brain is the sort of test that would disclose Parkinson or other brain related maladies which might account for her list of symptoms outlined in this article, but we certainly ought to deal with the fact that the doctor is citing a CT scan that shows no abnormalities.

Mrs. Clinton’s current medications include Armor Thyroid, Coumadin dosed as directed, Levaquin (for a total ten days), Clarinex, as well as B12 as needed. After consultation with her hematologist, it was decided again not to change her anticoagulation to a newer agent.

Is this an exhaustive list, or just some of them? ("...medications include...")

This doesn't sound all that healthy to me. Maybe she's balanced out for the short term, maybe not. It's not as if the Clintons have ever been known for convincingly revealing the WHOLE truth.

[Cen-Tejas]

same here, I’m the same age and all those things you say apply to me too. I also just got back from a 5 mile bike & run up and down steep hills. With rest stops it took an hour and one half.

This is a sick, sick woman and, for now, I’m speaking physically!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Most likely for her previous blot clots from her fall.

Coumadin is the gold standard for blood thinners. As you know, you can test its effectiveness by running a Protime (aka INR) and there is a antidote (Vitamin K) if you have too much in your system. Yes, Coumadin users have lots of potential drug and food interactions. So you have to watch what you eat as well as check with the pharmacist with new medications to make sure that they are compatible with Coumadin.

With the other blood thinners that have no test, you are flying blind as to how much is in your system. It is enough? Or is it too much? Either one can cause major health problems.

I believe that one the new generation of blood thinners now has a test, but no antidote. Once they have tests for them and a antidote then they will become the gold standard.

Many doctors.....ONE pharmacist. If you take Coumadin get to know your pharmacist and make sure that they have a complete list of all your medications including vitamins and those that you use that are over the counter. It can save your life.

My husband had a PA write him a script and gave him a 30 days supply of a new medication. He knows to check with me before he takes any new medication. It was so new that I couldn’t find it in my drug book, I had to look it up on-line. It was not compatible with his Plavix. When I told our favorite pharmacists what script that PA wrote and gave him a 30 day supply of samples of she freaked.

She and I then went to work figuring out what medication would work for his situation, without interfering with his Plavix. She called the doctor to request a medication change.

Hillaryous...has Hillaryous hired “stand up” comedians, too?

[Taxman]

Every American MUST come to understand that LIEberals LIE!

LIEberals WILL NOT HIRE someone who tells the truth!

Ergo, EVERY WORD uttered by these LIEberals attesting to Hitlery the Harridan’s “good health” and “fitness to serve” is a LIE!

[Pearls Before Swine]

The Hillary on the left is much slimmer than the Hillary on the right.

[Celerity]

This letter tells me something even worse than the idea that she may have a serious illness:

Hillary Clinton is a walking science experiment. She’s a chemistry kit in a pantsuit.

Readjusting her Coumadin ?! WTF That’s not normal, and as a doctor, she should be ashamed of herself.

Also, Hillary Body Double (Who people on FR keep asking me to stop talking about, for some odd reason) had two shoes on. Just keeping that the center of discussion. Hillary carries an extra shoe in her pocketbook if we’re to believe that she is still alive.

[LambSlave]

Well okay then, glad that’s settled.

[piytar]

(1) It is not an epipen. It is a diazapam injector.

(2) People who put their trust in a Clinton don’t risk failure. They risk getting killed under questionable circumstances. (I’d recommend that this doctor hire security, but he bought in, so oh well.)

[piytar]

Yup. Look at the hips. Sure Ms. Barnwell will wear padding going forward. Well, until she suffers Arkanaside...

[ronnie raygun]

To say anything to the contrary would be a death sentence for the doc

[piytar]

If they suspend the election, I start (redacted, but sure I’m not the only one here going there).

[piytar]

Yup!

[HokieMom]

[dead]

Feeling strong now...

[jonathonandjennifer]

Funny, during all the years we’ve had to suffer seeing her, hearing her speak I don’t recall noticing any allergies. She never sounded stuffy, never coughed, never looked ill from allergies.

[jonathonandjennifer]

Lol at the “ uncooked pudding”.

[Gasshog]

She OK then, bring her back out in public view

We want to see Crusty Dumpty have another Great Fall
