On his daily KABC radio show, TV personality and medical doctor “Dr. Drew” Pinsky weighed in on Clinton’s potential health problems.
Dr. Drew says that he’s “gravely concerned” for Clinton, but not about her health. He believes she may not be receiving the right treatment for her condition. “She’s receiving 1950-level care by our evaluation,” said Pinsky. “She had two episodes of deep-vein thrombosis, she also has hypothyroidism. She’s being treated for that condition with something called ‘Armour Thyroid,’ which is very unconventional and something we used to use in the 1960s.”
He goes on to describe Clinton’s doctors’ medication choices as “weird,” saying “certainly a presidential candidate would get one of the newer anticoagulants.”
Pinsky also notes the rarity of her CVST (of which he’s only had one other case in his entire career), and that in order to have it something has to be wrong with her coagulation system.
“Oh, by the way: Armour Thyroid [is] associated rarely with hypercoagulability. So the very medicine doctors are using may be causing this problem, and they’re using an old-fashioned medicine to treat it — what is going on with her health care? It’s bizarre. Maybe they have reasons, but at a distance, it looks bizarre.”
* CVST is a rare form of stroke, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. It occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain’s venous sinuses. When the blood clot forms, blood can’t drain from the brain — ultimately, blood cells break and leak into the brain tissues causing a hemorrhage.
It’s incredibly rare, affecting about five in one million people each year, according to U.S. estimates. The symptoms include headache, blurred vision, fainting or loss of consciousness, loss of control over movement in parts of the body and seizures.

Dr. Drew cares about Hillary’s health?
That makes ONE of us.
Or she could just be demon possessed ... more likely.
She might pull through.
Trump needs to expose more about her reportedly-pro-Islamonazi VP
since he will probably wind up running the country if Hilliary lasts past the election
and
maybe she is getting this antiquated 1960’s medical ‘care’ because she is on Obamacare?
I’m worried about Dr. Drews health now.
So “someone” in the media is finally admitting that Hillary has a health problem.
Watch your back, Doc. Ma Grissom-Clinton is on the prowl.
Gee, that’s too bad. Anyone seen my bag of popcorn?
Frankly, the only thing or person any doctor is "gravely concerned" about with a patient is: 1) an unpaid outstanding bill, and 2) any possibility of a malpractice lawsuit succeeding. Since I'm assuming that he's not involved in either way, he's either sucking up for some kind of turbo consultation from the Clinton Campaign, or he's just regular whoring his ass out for props, recognition and ratings. There, I said it and I stand by it.
Very good. You win the interweb post of the day!
Wait...I thought she could afford the best care money can buy!!!
I’ve been saying that all along.
I’ll take it! ;)
I guess at some level of Christian concern I care.
She should be put someplace where they can care for her and she can live out her life far out of the public eye. And when she draws her last breath my grandchildren can ask me “Hillary? Who was that?”
Dr Drew is such a Tool
I’m concerned she might wake-up tomorrow morning.
He mentioned in the interview that he thinks it’s as if she’s being treated by someone she knew in Arkansas when she was a child. I was thinking she would see someone “old school” whom she trusts not to reveal information about her condition. She may be aware her medical treatment is antiquated but may not want to have to report the right drugs for the right medical condition because the drugs alone would reveal her true medical condition.
I also think that she is seen getting onto and off of speaking platforms for no reason. She and Biden attend speaking engagements where the podium and microphone are intentionally set up for the VP candidate’s height and the Presidential candidate has to get on a platform to talk. This is nonsense. The podium would typically be the right height and the microphone would be adjusted for Clinton and then raised for Biden. But that means she’d have to be able to move easily after standing speaking - I think she needs help to begin moving after speaking so they intentionally set the mic for Biden and act like it’s just not adjustable. So, they have an excuse to have someone walk up to her and help her start moving.
Ridiculous theater. Men and women have been sharing mics for years without this extra platform and the gallantry of helping women or shorter men down from it.
I agree
