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.

excellent observations and interesting conclusions

I thought the same ,, someone posted this essay recently regarding “turning the other cheek” (and more) and it is truly eye opening how poorly the text is understood... even by most theologians and priests.. http://cpt.org/files/BN%20-%20Jesus’%20Third%20Way.pdf
so the ‘pillow thing’
is to have her somewhat upright,
so things drain in the correct direction?
Sure sounds like someone who can handle the stress of the office of president./S
Just to be the mean kid on the block, the only “gravely” thing I’m concerned with re Hillary is the one 6 feet deep, 3 feet wide/load, and 5 feet long, celebrated with a fine red wine and fava beans. Cha, cha, cha!
Makes sense.
Good points.
Looks like one too, my late pops wore one the last year or so of his life he loved it he could sleep though the night never miss parts of a game I hope she ends up doing catheter commercials during the last part of her ugly existence
Aw shucks.
Man that video would be worth a million dollars.
