Clinton's Blood Clot Is Located Near Her Brain, Doctors Say
2013-01-01
[NY Times] Doctors treating Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Elihu Root ...
 on Monday said that she suffered a blood clot in a vein between her brain and skull behind her right ear but predicted that she would make a full recovery.

Mrs. Clinton was hospitalized on Sunday with a blood clot stemming from a concussion she suffered earlier this month, a State Department front man said.

Her doctors said in a statement on Monday that the clot did not result in a stroke or neurological damage and that she was being treated with blood thinners.

In a statement, Drs. Lisa Bardack and Gigi El-Bayoumi, who are treating Mrs. Clinton, said: “She will be released once the medication dose has been established. In all other aspects of her recovery, the secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits, engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff.”

Mrs. Clinton, who had canceled most of her public events in recent weeks because of the injury, was at a follow-up examination on Sunday when doctors discovered the blood clot, according to Philippe Reines, her longtime front man.

Aides said that Mrs. Clinton, 65, had become dehydrated this month because of a stomach virus she contracted during a trip to Europe. She fainted and struck her head, causing the concussion.

Among the events she missed because of the injury was a Congressional hearing for the September attack on the United States Mission in Benghazi, Libya.

#16  Anyone counting the number of current and former US Navy SEALS that have turned up dead since the Abbottobad raid ?

#15  The State Department first reported a concussion from a fall. Now it is a blood clot.

Blood clots as well as concussions can result from falls, or many other types of trauma to the head.

And yes, State has been rather quiet.

I suspect we'll see a full court press by the White House within the next two weeks (possibly less) for an expedited confirmation of Monsieur Jawn.

#14  Modern science has suggested that humans are chimera with significant numbers cells from playmates and others close to you living quite finely. Perhaps MZ Clinton's "Foster" cells decided to join their namesake?

#12  with her history of lies, prevarication, corruption and partisan hackery, she has earned our skepticism.

#8  The initial MRI could have been easily masked by paramagnetic anomaly caused by her right horn. Dr. Steve, please weigh in.
Sure, I'll weigh in: that was the snark of the day, Besoeker.

She's got stars in her eyes.

#6  The State Department first reported a concussion from a fall. Now it is a blood clot. State Department continues to waffle on what really happened on anything since the Al Qaeda assault on Benghazi. Bill Clinton is strangely quiet about it all... And the OPM seems uninterested in asking him one question about the Mrs...

#4  Bill reminds me of the old Woody Allen line, “My brain! That's my second-favorite organ.”

#3  Congratulations to her doctors for actually finding her brain. And in the same location as the rest of us.

I always thought her (and others of her ilk) brain was firmly planted lower down, and to the rear. We know where Bill's brain is located. :-(

#2  Among the events she missed because of the injury was a Congressional hearing for the September attack on the United States Mission in Benghazi, Libya.

...and a secret meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
