n an interview on KABC-TV, Dr. Drew Pinsky of “Loveline” and “Celebrity Rehab” fame said a recent report on Hillary Clinton’s health from Breitbart raised serious questions as to whether Hillary could complete her term if elected president.
The report indicated that the Democrat front-runner “could be suffering from long-term health issues stemming from a concussion and blood clot,” which Clinton’s doctors denied. Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s doctor and chair of internal medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group in New York, said the former secretary of state and first lady was “healthy” and would be able to serve.
Pinsky, however, questioned that after he looked at some of the medications in Bardack’s health assessment of the candidate.

“But in the doctor’s comment, or one of the comments, I saw they said they elected to keep her on anticoagulants, which is kind of bizarre.”
Pinsky questioned the kind of treatment Clinton is receiving, as well.

So, she has an underlying recurrent blood clot in her leg, a clot in her transverse sinus … why is she clotting?” he asked.
“And then why would you leave her on the oldest and sort of most treacherous anticoagulant? If you’re going to leave somebody on an anticoagulant, why the oldest, old-fashion anticoagulant … wouldn’t you think somebody who’s a candidate for president (would) have one of the newer anticoagulants that are safer, and the indications for her staying on anticoagulants are kind of spurious…it makes me worry about the sophistication of the health care she is getting.”
Pinsky also noted Clinton is getting “treatment from the 1950s” for a thyroid condition.
“By the way, thyroid problems can lead to hypercoagulability,” he added, indicating the treatment was running . “She’s not getting the proper treatment for hyperthyroid. And why is somebody who’s running for the president of the United States getting such shoddy care?”

“Forget the politics,” Pinsky said. “(A)ll aside, my physician senses are tingling and I’m worried about the human being who also happens to be a presidential candidate.”

Do you think Clinton’s health should be an issue in the 2016 presidential campaign? Let us know how you feel on our Facebook page or Twitter.
Could reports like this keep Hillary Clinton from winning the presidency?
I’m surprised that guy still has a medical license. Seems to have a penchant for diagnosing people he hasn’t examined.
This guy MUST be a TV doctor, because any REAL doctor would know.
Why is he so concerned? Is he a Hillary supporter?
Just look at her...
She already looks like death warmed-over
Hype and hysteria won’t help elect Trump.
Did he actually say she was near death or the republic is near death if she gets elected??
Biden would be my guess, that's why they are keeping him in the public eye and out on the campaign trail. Bernie is too much of an radical even for the dems (he won't play ball with the big money folks they depend on).
Who can question credentials like that?
Death near???
It’s not right to get people’s hopes up like that. /S
Who takes a TV doctor’s speculations seriously?
He may be right, but I’m not going to put too much weight on any doctor’s diagnosis of anyone he has not examined in person.
All anyone needs to see is Hillary’s bobblehead video.

Are you with me Doctor Drew
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy, are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me Doctor
Can you hear me Doctor
Are you with me Doctor
Maybe just a demon democrat. Look at it this way....neither candidate has high favorability ratings. So, if either one is elected they could serve out their entire term. So, if one holds out hope that the witch would be gone in say 6 months, the dems could be content to vote for her with Kaine as the person who finishes out the term. Trump is in better health, they figure he would complete at least one term so it is either pick one unfavorable for four years or pick one the witch and hope she does not serve much time (except in jail).
I hope the debates are 3 hours long for obvious reason.
He isn’t “diagnosing” her unless she asks him and he gives her an official diagnosis. Anyone can say what they think is wrong with her, you know, the first amendment and all that.
“Did he actually say she was near death or the republic is near death if she gets elected??”
If the country elects her, it is proof that the country is already dead.
Is he really making a diagnosis or simply questioning the effectiveness/quality of treatment for an already diagnosed condition?
