“Does it make any sense to ask someone suffering from pneumonia to squeeze the doctor’s fingers and to monitor their pulse?

I’m guessing based on a previous post that you are a doctor.

They say she was overheated, had pneumonia, was dehydrated, but these pictures seem to point to something entirely different.”

As a physician, i’d say yes it is.
Patients with pneumonia can have tachycardia (which can cause a rapid pulse), hypotension ( which can cause a weak or thready pulse). Patients with pneumonia can suffer confusion and other neurologic problems from the possible poor cerebral perfusion and hypoxia from pneumonia. All these are particularly common in the elderly.

That said I think while she might have pneumonia, thats only the tip of the iceberg with her health.

How in the world would she be able to pop back 2 hours later? It would be a miracle.

I don't believe the PNA diagnosis...at all.

It's a cover story....................

I agree, tip of the iceberg with her health. My first experience with pneumonia in my 40s, I did not seek medical attention until my kids found me lying under the coffee table, rambling nonsensically.

What struck me about Hillary in the video by the van was her stiffness as she attempted to move her legs, before the agents lifted her.
