I did some research on blood clots in the brain. Here is what I found and could explain some things that are going on with Hillary. The blood thinners would explain the heavy dressing during warm periods.

“Arterial thrombosis–the clot is in an artery, usually in the heart or brain, and causes a heart attack or stroke.

·Venous thrombosis–the clot is in a vein, usually one of the deep veins of the leg (deep vein thrombosis; DVT) and causes swelling and pain.

Clots can also break apart and travel to another part of the body and cause another blockage. When this occurs, it is called an embolus.

To treat blood clots and prevent the damage they cause, doctors use anticoagulants, which are commonly called blood thinners, to decrease the clotting power of the blood and prevent growth of a clot. The most common blood thinners used today are heparin, low molecular weight heparin, and warfarin.

Heparin

Heparin is a strong, fast-acting anticoagulant (blood thinner). It is usually given in the hospital by IV (a small needle inserted in a vein), but it can also be given by an injection under the skin. IV heparin works rapidly; within minutes of receiving it, most patients have excellent anticoagulation that will prevent further clotting. However, patients who get heparin must be monitored every day with a blood test to see if the correct dose is being given. The doctor will adjust the dose of heparin according to the blood test results. Because heparin levels often change in patients, the doctor must check levels frequently. The name of the blood test used to check a patient’s heparin level is the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).”

I bet your much closer to the truth than the Parkinson garbage. Blood clots in the brain sounds much more like her problems.
