Doctor: Clinton has pneumonia, but ‘recovering nicely’ after 9/11 wobble
[IsraelTimes]  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzlaand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Frederick T. Frelinghuysen... abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary ceremony Sunday after feeling "overheated," according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia. A video showed Clinton slumping and being held up by three people as she was helped into a van after the event, and her doctor said in a statement that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated. "I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely," Dr. Lisa R. Bardack said in a statement. The physician said Clinton has had an allergy-related cough, and that during a follow-up examination Friday, the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, advised to rest and modify her schedule. Less than two months from Election Day, it was an unwanted visual for Clinton as she tries to project the strength and vigor needed for one of the world’s most demanding jobs. Republican rival Donald Trump has spent months questioning Clinton’s health, saying she doesn’t have the stamina to be president. Clinton’s departure from the event was not witnessed by the news hounds who travel with her campaign and aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for nearly two hours. Spokesman Nick Merrill eventually said Clinton had gone to her daughter’s nearby apartment, but refused to say whether the former secretary of state had required medical attention. Clinton exited the apartment on her own shortly before noon. She waved to news hounds and said, "I’m feeling great. It’s a beautiful day in New York." After leaving her daughter’s, Clinton was driven to her home in Chappaqua, New York, and made no public appearances. She was scheduled to fly to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Monday morning for fundraising and it was unclear whether her schedule would change. Trump, who attended the same event marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was noticeably restrained. Asked by a news hound about Clinton’s health incident, Trump said, "I don’t know anything." Posted by: trailing wife 2016-09-12 |
