Hillary Clinton may not recover from her pneumonia until late October
The Washington Post's The Fix ^ | September 13, 2016 | Chris Cillizza

I am not a doctor -- as many readers have helpfully pointed out to me over the past 72 hours. So, I reached out to a real doctor to get some answers about Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis and what it might mean for her presidential campaign. Dr. Steven Simpson, the medical director of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at The University of Kansas Hospital, is that real doctor. Our conversation, conducted via email and edited only for grammar and flow, is below.

FIX: Hillary Clinton’s campaign said she was ”overheated” at an event Sunday and she appeared to be somewhat unsteady on her feet – at least briefly. Are symptoms like this consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia, which apparently Clinton had received 48 hours earlier?

Simpson: These symptoms and signs are absolutely consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia 48 hours previously. “Overheated” may well mean that she had a fever, although it is difficult to say. Pneumonia is commonly associated with intravascular volume depletion, or more precisely, causes intravascular volume depletion, which the lay public may call dehydration. Often, the inflammation associated with pneumonia causes poor appetite and poor thirst, while the fever causes increased evaporative losses....

She certainly won’t - since she doesn’t HAVE pneumonia.

When she was at the last fundraiser and she called Trump supporters Deplorables she looked really bad. Very aged and slow and her voice was raspy.

She moves like someone who is 88 not 68.

I do not think people are so much accepting it as the Media is telling us this is what she has. The media is setting the narrative which is a lie.

Trump said he won’t debate if there are moderators. If he sticks to that threat he’s giving Hillary an “out”.

LOL!

There is a really hilarious animated gif on the #DNCleaks Twitter site. Scroll down until you see "First Debate" with Trump and Hillary, the Wicked Witch, standing at podiums. Trump throws water on her, and she blows up into a puff of black smoke, lol.

I tried to post it here on FR, but was unable to do it. Can you do it?

She was the ONLY person there wearing those medical glasses. While walking with her doctor who seems taking her pulse rate, Ms. Benghazi was using her right hand to clutch on to her heart region. Among others = Heart Problems !!!

Even my cats know it wasn’t pneumonia. The way she turned rigid like a plank of Oak should tell everyone something is wrong in her brain. If you are weak you would flop around like a rag doll. She looked like she French kissed a light socket. She is a very sick woman. the only thing keeping her above ground is her quest for power.
