Note that she doesn't drop her drink...

n an interview on KABC-TV, Dr. Drew Pinsky of “Loveline” and “Celebrity Rehab” fame said a recent report on Hillary Clinton’s health from Breitbart raised serious questions as to whether Hillary could complete her term if elected president.
The report indicated that the Democrat front-runner “could be suffering from long-term health issues stemming from a concussion and blood clot,” which Clinton’s doctors denied. Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s doctor and chair of internal medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group in New York, said the former secretary of state and first lady was “healthy” and would be able to serve.
Pinsky, however, questioned that after he looked at some of the medications in Bardack’s health assessment of the candidate.
BREAKING: Hillary Gets Terrible News From Texas “The neurologist you spoke to said you would put somebody on something like Coumadin to dissolve the clot in the skull… you would put somebody on a blood thinner for six months or so after that,” Dr. Pinsky said.
“But in the doctor’s comment, or one of the comments, I saw they said they elected to keep her on anticoagulants, which is kind of bizarre.”
Pinsky questioned the kind of treatment Clinton is receiving, as well.

So, she has an underlying recurrent blood clot in her leg, a clot in her transverse sinus … why is she clotting?” he asked.
“And then why would you leave her on the oldest and sort of most treacherous anticoagulant? If you’re going to leave somebody on an anticoagulant, why the oldest, old-fashion anticoagulant … wouldn’t you think somebody who’s a candidate for president (would) have one of the newer anticoagulants that are safer, and the indications for her staying on anticoagulants are kind of spurious…it makes me worry about the sophistication of the health care she is getting.”
Pinsky also noted Clinton is getting “treatment from the 1950s” for a thyroid condition.
“By the way, thyroid problems can lead to hypercoagulability,” he added, indicating the treatment was running . “She’s not getting the proper treatment for hyperthyroid. And why is somebody who’s running for the president of the United States getting such shoddy care?”

“Forget the politics,” Pinsky said. “(A)ll aside, my physician senses are tingling and I’m worried about the human being who also happens to be a presidential candidate.”
H/T Breitbart
Do you think Clinton’s health should be an issue in the 2016 presidential campaign? Let us know how you feel on our Facebook page or Twitter.
Could reports like this keep Hillary Clinton from winning the presidency?
If she wins (spit, spit) and is too sick or dead, Slick Willie could take over for her. That’s be great huh?
Her serving Vice President? That would be an archaic constitutional factor that could be easily overcome for a Democrat regime. /s
No keeling over...just a coughing fit and acting disoriented during a debate.
Exactly. Can you imagine that happening during a high-stakes negotiation with a foreign country? I'd rather not have that be a possibility.
And this is breaking news?
Coumadin is RAT POISON.................
AGAIN, MORE NONSENSE, WE WIN THE VOTE OR WE LOSE, DOESN’T MATTER IF HILLARY’S SICK, THEY’RE VOTING FOR HER, SO WE WIN AT THE BALLOT OR IT’S OVER.
I’ll take a win any way I can get it, but it would best to stomp her out because of her ideology, not because she’s sick.
um...
why do people keep pushing this?
Yall act like this is a GOOD thing!!!
Many people might be MORE inclined to vote for Hillary hoping she will drop dead and leave someone more likable/ethical in charge!
With 2 DVTs you are put on anticoagulants for life. Coumadin is used fairly commonly, but is inconvenient because of dietary restrictions and blood tests.
Damn it Jim i am a doctor who is on TV not a TV doctor.
Exactly. In fact it's a bad case scenario to have her drop out at this point for medical reasons as it would open the door for "Slow Joe" to come to the rescue and there would definitely be a "sympathy bounce" for the Democrats.
Fortunately, I think Donald Trump can and should win this election on his own merits and deliver a stunning blow to the globalist elite on November 8th.
I would guess Biden too .. only because the people already in power in the DemocRAT party could easily control him.
And .. Biden’s wife, is really quite a competent person.
Anecdote is not data, but:
I have a 90-year-old friend with thyroid problems and a history of atrial fibrillation. She is on warfarin and a very basic form of thyroid. She lives with a recurring, benign form of vertigo. Had two cataracts removed last year. Has had some skin cancers removed. She is also prone to recurrent infections. Probably other problems I’m not aware of. Her mind is sharp, she still drives and she is active.
An 80-year-old relative has multiple problems related to osteoporosis that impact her breathing and heart function. She’s on oxygen, various meds and uses a walker. She also still drives and is mentally functional. While in assisted living, she utilizes very few of the offered services and stays as active as her disabilities allow.
I wonder what the doctors here think about long-lived folks with multiple disturbing, chronic diagnoses? I think some people are just going to live a long, functional life, no matter what.
Hillary is likely to be around longer than we’d like.
This is a Clinton trap
She is not healthy so she is lowering expectations and trying to generate a sympathy vote
Classic Clinton
What do you call the guy who graduated at the bottom of the class in medical school?
Doctor.
Now THAT’s interesting. Glad you looked that up.
Joe Biden is informed that old Hillary is ready to go down. They keep him near her for the next month. When she goes down at an event, Joe runs up to her, cradles her in his arms and talks calmly to her telling she will be OK. He looks up to the sky with a tear and says " Oh God, why, why, why." Joe then stands back as the medics cart her off. Joe takes the podium and lowers his head and gives a tear jerking speech of assurance that all will be OK. Joe then will be in, as the new democratic candidate for showing his caring and compassion, and cool head after such a horrible incident.
have you noticed that we don’t see Billy around much these days....I suspect that something is afoot....
Note that she doesn't drop her drink...
Let her sit while he stands. Let that visual speak volumes.
