"Real cause for worry: Facts on Hillary’s concussion" (by Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, MD, MPS)
NY Post ^ | May 19, 2014 | 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’m not sure if there was any documented trauma sufficient to cause a thrombosis; there was no skull fracture. The question is exactly what caused the thrombosis. The articles mentioned that it could be congenital clotting disorder, but at her age, I would have expected events to have occurred earlier in life. A hypercoagulable disorder could be acquired such as Lupus or something else I suppose such as cancer.
The fact that she is being maintained on anti-coagulants does set her up increased risk of complications with minor injuries and GI bleeding.
I don’t believe that this matter is over by a longshot if she actually does try to run for president. Certainly, the stress of campaigning and debates will increase the risk of exacerbating her condition. Anything that could be construed as a loss of mental capabilities will naturally draw attention to her condition and its underlying cause. The continual questioning and focus on her condition will likely reinforce her self doubts about running for and performing her duties as president.
We may finally get our dream Democrat candidate; a truly brain damaged candidate matched with a mindless ideology and program.

She is the beast with the “healing” head wound... kind of like virginity reconstruction surgery for a whore or a gay man who will redouble in appetite re-elaborated.

Bill Clinton arkancide will then get her and he will try to stay president for her. Also if Chelsea has a boy, she is not needed anymore for the dynasty of evil.

It is how these animals move like worms.

The real culprit is the mental illness of abortion and aborting boys in particular. There is medicine to fix her concussion but not her madness.

The dynastic issue of Hillary is her one child policy and head injury to male boys getting aborted... a complete destruction of science contribution by little geniuses.

They are out to destroy utterly the economy and a whole swath of assets hiding behind generism in their demoralized hate of noninheritence.

“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,”

Ronald Reagan was 70 his first year being President. Hillary would also be 70 her first year being President. Anyone remember the big deal the press made about Reagan's age? Or Bob Dole's inability to lift his arm? Or McCain's issues caused by extreme torture?

The same press that hounded our good men rush out to protect Hillary... because she has a "D" by her name and their sources have "D"'s by their names. And Sources are success...

When the coin of the realm is information - bribes are 'tips'...

A healthy 35 year old woman in our office died in January as result of a blood clot. She had some surgery in late November, then had terrible headaches for weeks, went to the ER repeatedly, saw her own MD, and a neurologist. Then went in to the ER one last time, died the next day.

*genderism

As in genderism is another cop out for their exploitations and greed of physicalities.

Not to stand up for Hillary or anything but...

If something similar had happened to Bush, Condi, Rove, Reagan etc...and a doctor who hadn’t actually examined them started providing opinions, we’d rightfully blast them for doing so. And we’d blast the media outlets for reporting on such.

We shouldn’t sink to their level.

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.

We're keeping an eye peeled. But most of her kind are already caught up in the spirit of AC anyway; a spirit that has been with us for a couple of millennia at least.

The “concussion” was a ruse to help ensure her “I don’t recall” testimony in Congress could not be challenged.

You may be correct.

She has probably had some form of brain damage since at least her college years. The best thing we can do for her at this point is to get her admitted to a shrink, where we can study the inclinations of the brain to accept liberal politics while keeping her from harming Americans.

Actually, he said he was dealing with the facts that WERE public. And he did.

I am no fan or Rove......I agree. He sowed the seeds and in my opinion Hillary is done. The election is 2.5 years away and Hillary has to defend the ‘accident’ plus all of her scandal baggage. If she gets sick one day out of the next 2.5 years all this begins again. I think her tank is empty for all these battles, especially with grandchild on the way.

However, as I recall, she had a very delayed reaction, and the shoe was well past her by the time she turned.

That's the part that caught my attention, as well. If the thrower had been more accurate, the shoe would have clocked her right in the face. Her reflexes were way slow.

I think she will spend her remaining days grooming Chelsea for office. Here is a Democrat dream ticket. Biden/Hillary. There would not be enough brain power there to move the meter.
