This sounds like a setup. When she is diagnosed with Parkinson’s she can say she wasn’t lieing because she wasn’t ever diagnosed.
Sure adds on to the poor judgement narrative though.
If she’s in stage three of Parkisons....then she’s known she’s had the problem for at least three years. All of this would set her up in January if she won....to be impeached for health issues. Even for Kaine to admit that he was told about this in July of this year and didn’t say nothing...they could probably find reason to impeach him too.
Maybe not officially diagnosed.
Personally, I avoid the medical system. I have a few minor problems, all of which I not only researched but keep tabs on and, in some cases, have successfully managed with OTC/herbal treatments. BUT, if I experienced dysphagia, ataxia, TIA, tremor, I would, reluctantly get it checked. IF I felt the need to keep the dx out of the system, I would see one of those practices that doesn’t take insurance. These docs usually don’t have admitting privileges because they are out of the system, but around here, they are older and working precisely because they want to do medicine, not bureaucracy.
Hillary can get herself worked up without having a record made. She could easily travel abroad where several treatments are used that aren’t available in the US. Her options are open.
When Bill said her doctors had no idea what was wrong with her, I suspected she is suffering with a Corticobasal Degeneration Syndrome. Like Parkinson’s or other neuro syndromes, it covers a lot of territory, but takes detailed tests to determine exactly what to call it. Even then, people differ and she could have some individual type of problem. Clintonian parsing, again.
And, frankly, to quote herself:”What difference at this point does it make?” The drugs and treatments and progression are very similar.
Netflix has “Boss”, a series where the Mayor of Chicago has Lewey Body Dementia. It’s been awhile, so I’m unsure where in the show the diagnosis and dramatization of the illness might be. But I remember those scenes. They are powerful enough to make the viewer feel sympathy for a despicable character. These are awful diseases. In the show, the protagonist does utilize off-the-books care, showing how it can be done without a public record.
Hillary, Bill, and everyone in their inner circle knows the truth of her real medical condition, whatever it is. None of them has come clean with the American people about the truth of it, so yes, they’re all lying to us.
If she has Parkinson’s (& I believe she does), then the only reason she’s functioning is the drug Levodopa (L-dopa). She’s been on it long enough that now she is having side effect & it’s wearing off faster. She’s also having “freeze” spells - this is likely what happened to her at the 911 ceremony - she made it to the curb, but then was frozen. You never push/pull someone in a freeze ... when the SS went to move her, she toppled over (look how stiff back/neck & head were). She won’t be able to claim it wasn’t diagnosed, not if she’s on L-dopa. Parkinson’s is hard to diagnose - one of the ways they do it is to give someone L-dopa (challenge test) and if it improves their condition, then it’s likely Parkinson’s.
