Either this is a total lie, or she was whacked over the head in her home by someone not wanting her to testify on Benghazi.

You know some days it is just better to say not a thing. Then again with the people in power how do I know this is the truth?

Not the first blood clot she's been treated for, apparently - note the 2010 date.

Book review of Connie Mariano's memoir "The White House Doctor"

Sunday, June 27, 2010

THE WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR

By Connie Mariano

Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's. 300 pp. $25.99

Connie Mariano has seen George H.W. Bush naked. It's very likely that she's seen Bill Clinton in the buff, too. Don't get the wrong idea, though; it was strictly professional. Mariano, a Filipino-American Navy doctor, spent nine years serving as White House Physician -- tending to the health of the U.S. commander in chief. Her memoir, "The White House Doctor," provides a peek into the tedium of treating the president's every cough, sniffle and golf-course-induced blister. And then some. "The Secret Service calls it the 'kill zone,' " she writes. "To be in the presence of the president is to stand in the kill zone and to sense the rarefied, exciting, and potentially deadly experience of being in close proximity to an assassin's most prized prey."

Luckily, Mariano's tenure -- which encompassed the final year of George H.W. Bush's term and the entirety of the Clinton administration -- was a relatively quiet one. Tense moments, when they arrived, were not explosive in a literal sense. Mariano performed the Heimlich maneuver on a guest at the Bush family's holiday party, treated Hillary Clinton for a blood clot and accidentally flooded the toilet aboard the king of Spain's yacht.

As far as juicy White House-insider commentary goes, Mariano's not much of a gossip. Non-presidential patients frequently remain anonymous, and if she's privy to details regarding Clinton's late-'90s philandering, they are not included here. Mariano is a self-made woman -- the first female White House physician, the first woman director of the White House Medical Unit and the first Filipina to become a Navy rear admiral -- and "The White House Doctor" is mainly about her accomplishments as a medical professional. In that spirit, Mariano keeps doctor-patient confidentiality intact.

why didn’t they check her from beginning? Sounds like poor medical care to me - but then I’m not an expert

The State Dept. shot down the report of Hillary in Dominican Republic. Original DR article taken down.

Reports say Hillary was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital this afternoon after follow-up check-up on concussion showed she had a blood clot. She's being treated with anti-coagulants and will be under observation for next 48 hours.

Yeah, my doctor regularly works on Sunday. Especially when I need a doctor’s excuse not to testify in front of Congress.

The AP statement is confusing.

Update: Per Huffington Post, the clot was discovered after a follow up exam earlier today. She was admitted to NY-Presbyterian Hospital for 48-hour monitoring.

Wasn’t there a report from the National Enquirer recently claiming that Hillary has a brain tumor?
