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.

My best guess/bet is she has an episode during a debate where she is trapped, emotional, off-script/talking-point. . .
Sad thing is, hitlery WILL probably get more votes, “sympathy” votes. Dems have no concept of honor or dedication or loyalty to this Great Republic, only hitlery counts at all costs.
That’s some serious bloat!
CLEVELAND, OH-August 17: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tours John Marshall High School August 17, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio. Clinton was scheduled to speak at a rally at the school.

There's an old puzzler I was asked when I was a kid - a boy is fishing a river from a train trestle, and up the mountain he sees a train coming. So he gets off the tracks, but before he does so, he runs a hundred yards towards the oncoming train. Why? Because he was short of the middle of the bridge, and so the fastest way off was to run towards the end where the train was coming from.
Likewise, Hillary's running out of time. This is her last chance for the presidency, so she has to push everything she's got to reach her goal. On the other hand, appropriate medical care probably has side effects that require rest and various kinds of un-hideable support. So if she goes that route, she'll be exposed as unfit, and lose.
But - she's Hillary. Her entire mind is focused 24/7/365 since she was born, on hiding. So what does she do? She tells her docs to give her what will help, but will stay hidden. Then once she wins she can go full modern care, because she's the president at that point.
So yes, her strategy could kill her, but she'd rather die than lose. Hillary lives her life at war. Everything she does can ONLY be understood in that context. She's a pure psychopath, with absolutely no other interests except power for the sake of power alone. Power is her god, and she's a fundamentalist fanatic more extreme than ISIS. She wants the White House - because she wants the White House. And in her mind, no one on the entire planet has enough status to challenge her beyond that simple, direct desire: "because Mom says so."
And with that statement, ten million zombie soccermom heads nod up and down with agreement.
!977, Movie Semi-Tough Burt Reynolds(as Billy Clyde) attended a seminar where no one was allowed bathroom breaks. He wore a Foley catheter so he could set through the ordeal. The fun was when he urinated it sounded like he was going in a tin can, forever and ever!
To me and others it was bust-a-gut funny!
Semi-Tough book and movie were both great.
The Frump is using the same reasoning.
I cannot understand why she would even think of running...
Her background, her emails, her husband, her mouth, Huma, her attitude, I mean REALLY????
...and another one bit the dust...
Again, well said and all good analysis.
Reading your post made me wonder if those 3 days of rest are modern treatments and rest but her Dr. is only aware, and only require to report, the olde tyme medications.
She’s in danger of not making it to election day so I can see the remote possibility of her using dialysis to remove olde tyme medicines and flush in new medications whenever she gets a break and doesn’t have a medical appt. schedule with her “regular/reporting” physician. Or more likely, she’s never taken the olde tyme prescribed medications and has always been taking modern treatments prescribed by state-of-the-art private liberal doctors.
Dr. Drew ‘gravely concerned’ about Hillary Clinton’s [mental] health.
Fixed it.
One more point - wouldn’t it be ironic if, of all things, she died from substandard medical care - after trying to destroy medical access for Americans for so long?
Talk about karma...
And “pride goeth before the fall”...
She has aged forty years since the convention.
Inflammation. Could be medicine or a heart/ circulation. Problem.
I am not worried.
I am wondering why “Dr. Drew” isn’t mentioning her obvious use of steroids being prescribed, more than likely to control the neurological issues she is having. In the last month, I have noticed her facial swelling, especially her eyes, and in the past ten days or so a much more stable Hillary, which is precisely what steroids will do.
I wonder if Hillary’s doctors were recommended to her by Tim Kaine.

I never thought about it before! Yes. Yes. This would be karma!

Yeah, you need doctors who will allow the patients personal imperitives to drive treatment. You know, like rock stars need a Dr who will prescribe drugs for them. His Dr’s may be idiots.
I thought she was a child in Illinois, not Arkansas. Plus I’m betting that her doctors are from NY or DC.
I had read speculation before that there was something odd about the location of her relatively young physician (not in DC or NY) - the poster was wondering if that’s just her “for show” doctor because with Hil’s health issues and resources, she’d otherwise see one or more specialists famous and located in DC/NY.
I’ll say it again.
Hillary’s brain is fried, has been for a long time.
That is why the FBI cannot find anyone to prosecute Hillary!
Hillary is not able to form intent to break the law, cause her brain is fried
