Hillary Clinton hospitialized

[cornflake]

Found it -

I think the poster confused that the '98 incident was cited in a piece from '07 that was picked up, with it happening twice.

As far as I can see, it was a one-time event, apparently related to plane flights, that was resolved and she's not on any drugs related to it and hasn't been for some time. Doesn't seem like it'd be related to the current issue except that perhaps inactivity has done this to her twice, fifteen years apart? Lesson - Hillary cannot stop moving! To wit -

She approaches her seventh decade with what any 60-year-old wants most - good health - but Clinton recalled a potentially fatal scare in 1998.

It came while she was campaigning on behalf of Chuck Schumer's New York Senate bid and a swollen right foot caused her terrible pain. She thought she just needed to slow down from constant flying.

A White House doctor told her to rush to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a large blood clot behind her right knee.

"That was scary because you have to treat it immediately - you don't want to take the risk that it will break lose and travel to your brain, or your heart or your lungs. That was the most significant health scare I've ever had."

Clinton said she no longer takes blood thinners and otherwise has enjoyed good health while zig-zagging across the country for the past nine months, keeping a schedule that exhausts aides half her age.

What kind of 'checkup' reveals a blod clot in the brain? She's been off work now for over a month-with the flu and then the fall. I'm guessing she was exhibiting some symptoms of on going concussion and they decided to do some extensive testing. Poor thing. I'm sure she'd rather be on some island laying in the sun than going through all this health scare. Get well Hillary!!!

When my son got a concussion playing football, he had a follow up appt to get the "all clear" to play football again. Maybe this was her follow up appt that they saw it at.
Hope she gets well soon.

If the information referenced is true, and she is receiving blood thinners, then the blood clot is probably not in her brain. It is probably in her leg (Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT for short). If there was a blood clot in her brain, they would not be giving her blood thinners as that would make it worse, make it "extend" so to speak, causing stroke-like damage.

Since she had a blood clot in her leg once before, she might have more of a tendency to develop them...a predisposition, if you will. Couple that with the amount of air travel she does and her recent fall requiring more rest (thus less mobility) and you have a situation where the blood may have pooled in her leg, thus causing the clot. It is pretty routine these days for hospitals to give patients a mild blood thinner while they are hospitalized to prevent just such a thing from happening, since most hospitallized patients spend more time in bed and less mobile than when they are home. As Secretary Clinton stated when discussing her previous DVT, the biggest risk with a DVT is that it breaks off and travels to the heart, lungs or brain.

If I was Secretary Clinton, I'd be resigning myself to the fact that I would be taking some sort of blood thinner for the rest of my life, since this is her 2nd bout with a DVT.

If she was sedentary for a while following the concussion (for rest) or even on one of her long plane rides, that could easily cause a clot.

God Speed Hillary Clinton.

CNN just posted that the clot is between her brain and skull behind her right ear! Hope it dissipates quickly and she makes it a fully recovery!

My uncle has been on blood thinners for several years and recently fell and hit his head when the chair he was standing on broke. He felt fine but he began to have bleeding in the brain which collected in the area between the outer brain and skull. The doctor said this can easily happen to patients who take blood thinners. The only way we knew something was wrong was when he had two accidents in the same day and he was extremely forgetful. I wonder if she is having these same symptoms?? Scary!

My dad's closest friend died after a fall on ice a couple years ago - he too was on thinners and they were unable to stop the internal bleeding.

I've started seeing stories as of yesterday that Hillary sustained a head injury as a result of a plane crash, and not a fall in her home. She was on a classified mission to meet with with Iran officials. She took off from Saudi Arabia. Within minutes of leaving Bahrain airspace, this report says, the C-12 Huron carrying Secretary Clinton and her US Navy Seal protectors, “without notice,” deviated from their assigned flight path heading, instead, directly towards Iran’s Ahwaz International Airport where, coincidentally, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had previously landed on an “unscheduled” visit.

Within seconds of the C-12 Huron crashing, this report continues, Iranian emergency and security personal responded freeing the victims, including Secretary Clinton who was reportedly unconscious and “bleeding profusely.”

It also states that the US Navy SEAL Commander Job W. Price, who as a leader of this highly specialized American Special Forces unit protects high-ranking diplomats traveling in Middle Eastern and Asian combat zones was killed in the plane crash. This is the same Navy SEAL that was reported to have committed suicide around this same time.

After emergency aid was given, GRU agents stationed in Iran state that another US military flight was dispatched from Bahrain to Ahwaz which evacuated all of those wounded and killed in the crash including Secretary Clinton.

I talked to my friend via skype today and he says this is the story on their local news in Russia...that Hillary's head injuries are from a plane crash in Iran where the landing gear got destroyed on hard landing and made the plane come to a crashing halt just off the runway.

Normally, I wouldn't give this story a second thought, but after Benghazi and the youtube video excuse, I'm not so quick to dismiss such things anymore.

She is expected to make a full recovery.

You're the poster that was convinced the IRS was after you because your license was swiped through a machine at the bank, right?

Not mentioning any names, but someone needs to pull out their tin foil hat.

Ive read that in a couple of places but not sure how "unbiased" they are. Seems a bit reaching to me but I do, though, think that whatever is wrong is a lot more complicated than a blood clot from a concussion.

The details of all this have been odd and its gone from one thing to another. Stories about their trip to Punta Cana, then denied, then the flu, then a stomach flu and dehydration, then the blood clot.

Robert Bazell , NBC's chief health and science correspondent, reported that blood clots from concussions aren't usually treated with thinners. I haven't been able to find anything to see if that is true or not. But I am getting a feeling there is more to the story than what is being released.

Here is his report:

Where did you see that story?

 

[bittybabygrower]

She could have clots if she was I bed for a certain amount of time.

 

[SaraJayne]

Where did you see that story?

No where reputable.

No, blogs are not a reliable source of news.

I agree that the media probably doesn't have the entire story, but there's a big difference between what's being reporting and spinning a conspiracy theory.

Whatever it may be, I wish Mrs. Clinton a speedy and full recovery.

 

[handinpocket]

Something is definitely going on that the public is unaware of. Chelsea Clinton was seen leaving the hospital visibly distraught, picture can be viewed on TMZ.

Whatever is going on, I wish Mrs. Clinton well.
