Flashback: Hillary Clinton: My Life at 60 (2007, talks about 1998 blood clot scare)
The New York Daily News ^ | Thursday, October 25, 2007 | Heidi Evans

SNIP

She approaches her seventh decade with what any 60-year-old wants most - good health - but Clinton recalled a potentially fatal scare in 1998.

It came while she was campaigning on behalf of Chuck Schumer's New York Senate bid and a swollen right foot caused her terrible pain. She thought she just needed to slow down from constant flying.

A White House doctor told her to rush to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a large blood clot behind her right knee.

"That was scary because you have to treat it immediately - you don't want to take the risk that it will break lose and travel to your brain, or your heart or your lungs. That was the most significant health scare I've ever had."

Clinton said she no longer takes blood thinners and otherwise has enjoyed good health while zig-zagging across the country for the past nine months, keeping a schedule that exhausts aides half her age.

That Hillary Clinton has a history of blood clots took the media by surprise tonight, even though Hillary also wrote about it in her book, Living History.

FReeper SERKIT was the first to bring up the previous incident.

Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located.

I know, because I have had a few.

I’ve posted numerous times over the past few months, in regards to her possible 2016 run, about how unhealthy she looks.

She might get herself healthier, but not healthy enough to run for President.

Just heard a news flash that said Hillary is in the hospital. Maybe her stroke was real.

Glad you survived. They can sneak up on you and sneak away with you.

The night she got knocked down by a stage light on "60 Minutes" :

"Hillary Clinton looms so large in the political landscape today, it’s hard to remember when she didn’t.

But, in fact, she was relatively unknown to most Americans until January 26, 1992.

On that Sunday night, Hillary and her husband Bill Clinton appeared together on 60 Minutes, in a heavily watched interview with Steve Kroft that aired right after the Superbowl."

The ironic dual anniversary of two famous Clinton quotations

Of course if she looks at running in 2016, the media will ask whether or not health disqualifies her from running just like they did McCain.

Right everyone? Right?

“Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located”

Yes I pretty much know how scary it is. Back in Sep. 2010 I fell and luckily I did not break my leg however my leg started to burn and I developed numerous blisters on the leg, some hugh. About a month later some of the blisters were drying up and falling off except one on my knee. The doctor was curious why this one particular didn’t & was not dry. So she cut it open to see inside and lo behold there were numerous blod clots some small and medium. So she made a cut and removed them. I assume everything was alright but in the back of my mind I thought I was carrying these blood clots for about a month.

December came around and one night I felt so weak and I was in a chat room and they notice I was not making any sense. They called 911 for me I was taken to the hospital and the ER doctor asked me who was my doctor and I told him and he immediately ran out to contact my doctor, I then knew this was serious. I was told I had a very very mild stroke, do I then knew maybe a very small clot may have traveled up.

So yes they can be scarey I do know they were injecting me with something for the blood clot though I don’t recall what it was.

The medical name for her problem is canklitis.
