Hillary's health

[ArcadiaGP]

Did you not also see her Secret Service detail rush in front of her? I suspect she was rightly focused on a potential threat in the crowd.

GWB has the same "stare" in the infamous Iraqi shoe-throwing incident.

Yeah I don't think I'd read too much into the "keep talking" thing. Something is going on in front of her... her people are handling it... and they just tell her to continue her speech and ignore it.

There are some legit health issues to look at with her... and then there are things that are a bit embellished.

 

[cobber]

How you know it's all bull****. No one can get the story straight.

Contagious, non-contagious... who knows.

Perhaps it's really a mild case of Ebola. THAT should get her some sympathy votes!!

 

[pudly]

That is in no way similar. GWB showed fast reflexes and was able to react to the incident. Everyone but Hillary reacted quickly.

 

[david890]

She wasn't smart enough to stay home and lighten her schedule.

And be a "no-show" at campaign events or the 9/11 memorial ceremonies??

Yeah, absolutely no way those absences wouldn't be spun out on Breitabart or Hannity as failures or disrespecting 3K dead...

Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.

Yet, somehow, his protective detail couldn't move fast enough, nor the guy standing next to him step into the line of fire...

Democratic Donor in Leaked Email: Hillary 'Could Barely Climb Podium Steps' | Fox News Insider

The above has probably been posted somewhere on here already - it's talking about the Colin Powell hacked e-mail from 2015 where he was worried about her health. Makes me wonder if she does not have some sort of chronic issue, or maybe not and it's just age related issues...

 

[david890]

This appears to be a good analysis by a doctor about Hillary's 9/11 incident that covers observable facts and discounts political spin.

O RLY???

HoosierDoc, Dusty88 and any other medical types: does this analysis appear correct? The only flaw I saw was that he left out one way to lose water leading to dehydration- urination.

I think it's generally "bad form" for a physician to comment about a person's health without actually seeing that patient in a professional capacity.

Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.

Some of us would respect the common sense of staying home for a couple of days when you get sick.

And it was no coincidence that it worked out badly, getting caught on camera saved from a faceplant by several people.

She has become unconscious before when ill. this isn't a one-off or a solved problem.

People who become unconscious without warning can't drive trucks legally, fly airplanes legally, and shouldn't be president of the US.

There are some disabilities compatible with this office. Blindness might be one. Repeated, unplanned unconsciousness is not. Whether this is due to a chronic illness or an inability to know when to slow down is not my concern. It's not acceptable disability for the commander in chief of a nation like this. There are better options amongst 300 million people.

I'm a veterinarian not a physician (which makes me statistically a little bit smarter ) but he just asked us to explain how or if she might have become dehydrated. I did my best to answer that.

Hitllary health is sexist now........these people are nuts.....

CNN's Amanpour suggests Clinton health coverage sexist | Fox News

Thats just deplorable.

 

[dusty88]

When they challenge her to take on Gary Johnson in a bike race, then they can call it sexist.

Asking her to walk up the stairs and stay conscious is a pretty low bar for the job she is applying for.

Goes to the weight, not the admissibility.

that's fine, we're all entitled to our opinions, even doctors

general comments: old women don't drink enough. Hillary is old. She either completely passed out at the van or did close enough to count. When you need a CT scan to diagnose pneumonia instead of X-ray I doubt the pneumonia explained the passing out. If the pneumonia did explain it, how the heck did she have a miraculous recovery in 3h at Chelsea's apartment?

levaquin is a bad choice for an old person on Coumadin.

do I have to see her in person to have these opinions? No.

Gee, I wonder if this is why she hasnt driven a car since 1996? Many assumed it was because she was rich and could afford a driver. I think given everything we are seeing now Richness had nothing to do with it. Richness only makes it possible for her to have a driver and not be a problem financially.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm

 

[hoosierdoc]

^^^ now that's a good point

What is the secret service detail like for a first lady? Does Laura Bush drive?

Actually, it is trivially easy. Simply announce that she wasn't feeling well and send Keane to attend in her place. It happens all the time. It would even have the advantage of being true for a change.

[Brad69]

Whew I think the scare is over.
She climbed the stairs fine and even kinda turned and waved. Then went back and talked to the press they asked some tough questions something about tv shows. She answered without coughing I think we are good now.
