Clinton is a healthy 68 year old woman according to new doctor letter

a reply to: introvert
I have caught a few of the talking heads on tv today and last night, and the new line is this;

Both Hillary and Trump need to be more transparent. Both could be ill, and therefore both should release there info, and Hillary has released more. (never mind we haven't seen Trump have coughing fits, pass out, and have examples of past falls and people she knows saying she seemed ill (Colin Powell), nor has Trump been the one that couldn't recall some 30 something answers to the FBI, but I digress).

They then say that John McCain set the precedent for how a person should release health info, when he released thousands of pages.

This shows two things to me;

1. It proves that the left including many of the same media people saying this now were just as skeptical about McCain health as the right is about Hillary's.

2. This letter from Hillary's doctor nor Trumps Dr. Oz appearance would meet this standard.

I will wait with baited breath to see if the msm is willing to accept this document.

Is there any reason to actually believe she is not in decent health, besides the pneumonia?

Despite all of the conspiracy theories surrounding her health, she seems to be just fine to me.

Chelsea? That you?

Lots of people get pneumonia. It, like bronchitis, is often the outcome of a persistent cold or flu, and so has passed its viral stage and is strictly speaking, non-contagious.

Healthy people don't die from pneumonia, but people with compromised immune systems, such as cancer or AIDS patients, or patients recovering from any kind of surgery are particularly vulnerable to pneumonia, because of the cold temperatures at which physicians keep their operating rooms. (I got pneumonia that way)

But, unless there is something else seriously wrong with Mrs Clinton, pneumonia is just another pesky problem for her to have to deal with.

I'm not right wing and I don't read 'professed' right wing news. i cringe if I have to go to FOX to understand a reported story.

I am saying there's evidence of a known complicit media driving the narrative: She's fine. Just a touch of contagious/not contagious pneumonia.

For me, that's good evidence of a cover up.

Let me know when they have to throw Trump into the side of a van.

He has elevated cholesterol, but who doesn't.

You can't tell me he and hillary are even close physically and mentally.

By their own admission, the campaign says she has had issues and even that is a half truth.

Anybody know how many other old ladies collapsed at the service?

Older people have higher risk of getting pneumonia,
and are more likely to die from it if they do. For US
seniors, hospitalization for pneumonia has a greater risk
of death compared to any of the other top 10 reasons for
hospitalization.
7. Pneumonia is the most common cause of sepsis and
septic shock, causing 50% of all episodes.

Patients with pneumonia may need to be hospitalized or
even go to the intensive care unit (ICU). After developing
pneumonia, it often takes 6-8 weeks until a patient returns
to their normal level of functioning and wellbeing

17. While successful pneumonia treatment often leads to full
recovery, it can have longer term consequences. Children
who survive pneumonia have increased risk for chronic
lung diseases. Adults who survive pneumonia may have
worsened exercise ability, cardiovascular disease, cognitive
decline, and quality of life for months or years.
18. Pneumonia is a huge burden on our healthcare systems.
In the US, pneumonia was one of the top ten most
expensive conditions seen during inpatient hospitalizations.
In 2011, pneumonia had an aggregate cost of nearly $10.6
billion for 1.1 million hospital stays.
19. The death rate from pneumonia in the US has had little
or no improvement since antibiotics became widespread
more than half a century ago. We are not yet winning the
battle against pneumonia.

My mom was once ill and having a difficult time breathing. I called an ambulance. That was the only time in my life i did that. My mom agreed to let me call for one.

If my mom had collapsed out-cold,like Hillary, I wouldn't have even bothered trying to get her opinion on it. I would have made the decision to call for one myself.

Older people are more likely to die from anything, than their younger counterparts.

Patients with pneumonia may need to be hospitalized or even go to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Operative word there is MAY. I'm quite certain that Mrs. Clinton is being supervised by plenty of highly qualified individuals, and suffers no lack in that department.

"Often leads to full recovery." Anything can happen.

Was this "doctors note" sent by email?

If so, surprised it didn't get lost.

No her limo driver gave her burnout doctor 5 minutes to write it while he waited impatiently outside.

I'm not. They took her to Chelsea's apartment when she passed out cold and had to be dragged into a van....unless Chelsea's apartment is staffed by highly qualified medical professionals.

And if you believe that ," I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell cheap..."

I..well...I do not even know what to say. The Clinton machine is good. very good at what they do and here it is again in action. Her doctor released a statement that says she is in perfect health with low cholesterol and seasonal allergies.

The letter from Dr. Lisa Bardack will describe how the Democratic nominee received a non-contrast chest CT scan on Friday, said a Clinton campaign official. The scan revealed a small right middle-lobe pneumonia, which was non-contagious and bacterial. She was treated with Levaquin, and instructed to stay on it for 10 days, the campaign said.

After what we all saw Sunday...if I was her...I would find another doctor.

After what we saw on Sunday, if I was Bardack, I would bid HRC a good life and bow out.

Unless she has a contract in place that she makes millions if HRC dies...she is a fool and will likely never practice medicine again

At this point I think both of these candidates should submit to a physical exam and blood tests from an impartial doctor that is NOT of their choosing. We regular folks get urine tests for minimum wage jobs, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for the same sort of physical one might take for an insurance policy from people applying for the highest office in the land.

There is still the break in USSS protocol to that is being glanced over. Her detail 'ditched' the NYPD escort she was supposed to have.

We also have to submit a birth certificate to get a passport. Obama has more than one passport:



What should we make of that?

TBH, the only "healthy 68 year old woman" I know works out about four hours everyday and has been on a mostly ketogenic diet for a long time.

So, seems unlikely for Hillary, given all of her known maladies.

I will point out that I fit the bill, there. With a difference.

I'm a geek and I do NOT work out four hour a day (maybe four a week) and as for ketogenic... it doesn't include pizza.

Which I'm eating right now.

I could do the type of tour schedule Hillary has, but without time to build up my stamina, I'd have to take power naps every few hours (this is flippant, but I do attend science fiction conventions and teach and if I haven't been working out for two months before, I will typically have to go crash after five or six hours of being high energy and on my feet.)

If she has pneumonia, that means her immune system is non existent.

No, it doesn't. It has a number of causes and depending on whether it's bacterial or viral changes your chances of getting it. Even healthy college students come down with it.

However, someone among the millions of people she saw (probably several) had pneumonia. One of the strains affected her.

That's the ticket

Although, I suspect that there IS such a vetting taking place and we are just not privy to the results. It could be those scary people behind the scenes that select these candidates that no one really wants that know the truth.

a reply to: MotherMayEye

I don't see why her doctor, who had just seen and diagnosed her on Friday, couldn't meet her there or arrange for an RN to administer her fluids, an IV, or whatever she needed, in house. I understand that since that time she's been at home recovering.
