Dr. Drew ‘gravely concerned’ about Hillary Clinton’s health care
Global News ^ | August 17,2016 | By Chris Jancelewicz

On his daily KABC radio show, TV personality and medical doctor “Dr. Drew” Pinsky weighed in on Clinton’s potential health problems.

Dr. Drew says that he’s “gravely concerned” for Clinton, but not about her health. He believes she may not be receiving the right treatment for her condition. “She’s receiving 1950-level care by our evaluation,” said Pinsky. “She had two episodes of deep-vein thrombosis, she also has hypothyroidism. She’s being treated for that condition with something called ‘Armour Thyroid,’ which is very unconventional and something we used to use in the 1960s.”

He goes on to describe Clinton’s doctors’ medication choices as “weird,” saying “certainly a presidential candidate would get one of the newer anticoagulants.”

Pinsky also notes the rarity of her CVST (of which he’s only had one other case in his entire career), and that in order to have it something has to be wrong with her coagulation system.

“Oh, by the way: Armour Thyroid [is] associated rarely with hypercoagulability. So the very medicine doctors are using may be causing this problem, and they’re using an old-fashioned medicine to treat it — what is going on with her health care? It’s bizarre. Maybe they have reasons, but at a distance, it looks bizarre.”

* CVST is a rare form of stroke, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. It occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain’s venous sinuses. When the blood clot forms, blood can’t drain from the brain — ultimately, blood cells break and leak into the brain tissues causing a hemorrhage.

It’s incredibly rare, affecting about five in one million people each year, according to U.S. estimates. The symptoms include headache, blurred vision, fainting or loss of consciousness, loss of control over movement in parts of the body and seizures.

One of the news channels today said Hillary’s doctor says she is excellent health. I think everyone knows that’s a lie.

That can't be right. I am certain it cannot be more then 1 in 200,000.

If that happens and Hillary ends up in the hospital for some time, that could pretty much end her campaign. Remember George McGovern had to ditch Thomas Eagleton as a running mate because we found out Eagleton underwent electroshock therapy for a neurological disorder? The MSM propping up Hillary is one thing, but if they find out she has serious medical issues, I'm not sure if they want to support a candidate with such an issue--especially after that experience with FDR after the 1944 election when it was obvious to everyone he was not very hale by that time.

Hilliary has looked quite sick (and getting worse) for some time already

I do not know how to diagnose her specific medical problems but voting for her is a vote for her VP guy (whatever his name is?)

and he does NOT look like anyone we’d want in our WH, either

She may be aware her medical treatment is antiquated but may not want to have to report the right drugs for the right medical condition because the drugs alone would reveal her true medical condition.

Wow, leave it to a FReeper to come up with a very logical and likely reason for what is something of a mystery. Good job.

re>Gee it would be horrible if she took a header off the stage at a live event. Horrible.

I don't know why but just reading this made me start laughing out loud.

The news keeps talking about her health. UMM HMM, keeping her health all over the news, keeps her lawlessness at bay.

WE NEED to see and hear about her pay to play as Sec of State and her carelessness with our national secrets.

It’s creepy though - I can’t begin to imagine the kind of thirst for power it would take to decline access to state of the art medicine for a serious neurological issues.

I don’t care if they treat her with Armor-all and try to see if she’ll buff out!

“One of the news channels today said Hillary’s doctor says she is excellent health.”
_____________________________________

So when asked, Hillary’s female doctor said she (the doctor) is in excellent health? Otherwise, this Dr. is sacrificing her own medical reputation by stating false information about Hillary intended to deceive voters nationwide...

Checks and balances. Hillary was one of the people legally responsible for confirming that Obama met the citizenship qualification for the presidency. These medical releases are a check/balance and so are the fake employment figures...

It’s not about turning the other cheek.

We are told not to judge those outside the church, but those inside the church. God said he will judge those on outside.

I doubt that. Because the only time she smiles is when she p$%ses or s*&ts her pants. She gets a warm gushy feeling when she does that.
