"Real cause for worry: Facts on Hillary’s concussion" (by Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, MD, MPS)

Karl Rove created a stir with his recent suggestion that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may have suffered traumatic brain injury in December 2012.

Speaking at a conference in California, he noted, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Let’s ignore the media hyperventilating and look at what Rove actually suggested.

Secretary Clinton reportedly “fainted, fell and banged her head,” as The Daily Beast put it, suffering a subdural hematoma, or a hemorrhage between her brain and skull.

While surgery is sometimes needed in such cases, Clinton was “treated with blood thinners on Monday at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head,” CNN reported.

“Disabilities resulting from a TBI depend upon the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and the age and general health of the individual,” says the NINDS.

And following TBI, “common disabilities include problems with cognition (thinking, memory, and reasoning), sensory processing (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell), communication (expression and understanding).”

Clinton didn’t just bump her head. Her husband said last week that her injury was, “a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over.”

[ I beg to differ. Demorats do have someone else to run: Sasquatch.

Mark my words, if and when Hillary bows out....Mooshelle will save the day. ]

They could always Run Jeb bush as a Democrat or at least the Republican VP to a Democrat Hillary for President as a “Unity Ticket” to “Heal the Country” i am sure the MSM would slober all over that politically cynical move by the Democrat machine...

So, what was she doing for those 6 months? Are there records, was she seen in public, where was she? What was she doing and can it be verified?

My brother had a very serious concussion in high school and was in the hospital for A WEEK. He’s fine but they were really concerned about lasting problems.

Either she is fit to testify, or she isn't. If her memory lapses preclude recalling four Americans getting killed on her watch, then perhaps she is not Medically competent for the Oval Office.

Lovely corner she is painted into...
