Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
Not good news. These blood clots can be a REALLY big deal and can lead to very serious health problems, such as pulmonary embolism, and even death.
I would just like to take a moment to give a big shout out of "Fuck You" to all of those asshole conservatives that claimed she was faking her fall to get out of testifying about Benghazi before Congress by the way.
Oh wait, I'm sure she is probably faking this too, right?
P.S. And yes before you ask I AM concerned about what this means for 2016. But of course now is not he time to dwell on that.
One thing we need to realize is that the Teapartiers accuse people of doing things they would do. Remember how Saint Sarah talked accused Levi of going Ricky Hollywood? But it's Sarah and her spawns who have done just that.
ReplyDeleteAnd they're all good christians, too.
DeleteBest of luck Secretary of State/Former First Lady/Presidential candidate and all around genius Hillary Clinton; no one can touch you. We pray for your rapid recovery.
ReplyDeleteGryphen -- you took the words right out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteTeabaggers are nasty, ugly, mean, making shit up people! I hope Hillary will be okay.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this I couldn't help thinking....if she was just an average housewife, she'd probably die. First, because the average person probably wouldn't get that follow-up exam, not as thorough an exam and many doctors dismiss women as whiners, complainers and just making stuff up. That's why so many women die of heart attacks.
ReplyDeleteYes, a clot is a big deal and I'm sure they're monitoring her closely.
As for 2016, I don't see this having any impact if the Republicans could run John one-melanoma-from-death McCain.
How many heart attacks did Dick Cheney have before he became VP?
DeleteYes I agree mlaiuppa& others
DeleteThe clot was caused by a fall...
but why did she FALL?
If she just slipped, they will dissolve it and should be good.
She is strong! She has like 4 planets in scorpio!
She is like the phoenix!
Bless her heart, she has given so much for the country she loves. Thoughts are with the Clinton family. Godspeed, Madame Secretary!
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly.
DeleteBeaglemom
She may be in the hospital for more than a few days. They have to be very careful to manage the anticoagulation just so, since (I'm assuming) the clot is cerebroarterial.
ReplyDeleteBe well Hillary, the world is praying for you. This woman is our future hope, and she has earned every positive poll.
ReplyDeleteIn stark contrast to her opposite twin, who probably added three more layers to the glass ceiling.
Blood clots are very serious. I am anxiously awaiting good news.
ReplyDeleteOf course they'll say she's faking it, and that the Warfarin she'll be taking for the rest of her life is fake, too.
ReplyDeleteAmen on the "Fuck You" to the Breitbart and Hannity circle-jerkers, as well as the other assorted ditto-head asshole teabaggers and teabaggettes (or is it tea-baguettes?).
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about 2016. She should recover quickly, but this is why Drs take concussions very seriously.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in the newsmax.com war room, the conspiracy grows...
ReplyDeleteSad news for Hillary, but thankfully they caught it in time. The crazy suspicious comments made from the Fox crowd accusing her of faking her fall was just absolutely mean, They're losing their viewers faster than ever, and their lack of civility is really going to come back to haunt them.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Republican Party senators and congressmen and women aren't getting any younger either People get older and things like this happen to anyone, old, young, rich, poor. Would it be too much to hope for that conservative politicians come together and realize their obstinate sabotaging obstructionist ways increase physical stress on their rivals which just makes progress that much harder.
Probably.

Good thoughts for Hillary. I am glad they caught this. I have a friend who
ReplyDeletewas playing piano at an event for me to sing, and she began to complain of a piercing headache. It was unlike her to complain about anything, so I called her husband, who took her to the ER. They waited awhile, but eventually they found a blockage, lowered her blood pressure, and did surgery. She is fine now, but she could easily have died. Her husband still thanks me every Sunday at church. So Godspeed to Hillary. We need you, Madame Secretary!
You picked the loveliest photo of her: No frills, intelligent, super capable, sure of herself, VERY youthful with wrinkles that look good to me, she looks mature in all the best senses of maturity.
ReplyDeleteJust like a revered statesman should. (Let's skip the "stateswoman" stuff.)
Proud member of FAR (Fuck ALL Republicans) seconds your shout out to the douchenozzles claiming she was faking.
ReplyDeleteRecent reports say that the clot was actually a deep vein thrombosis - which is hardly surprising, considering the amount of travel she has undertaken during her tenure.
ReplyDeleteAs for the conspiracy-happy rethuglicans, I can only repeat - FU.
Happy New year from Sydney, where the fireworks are only hours away from their grand display!
ReplyDeleteOnly days after The ENQUIRER exclusively reported that Secretary of State HILLARY CLINTON was at the center of a shocking brain cancer drama and was undergoing extensive secret medical tests, her reps went public with the news on Sunday night Dec. 30 that she was indeed hospitalized in New York City and disclosed that she was battling a blood clot that had formed following her head concussion earlier this month!
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion," Philippe Reines, a State Department senior advisor said. "They will determine if any further action is required.”
Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and she will be monitored there for the next 48 hours, Reines said.
The 65-year-old former First Lady fainted earlier this month and after an exhaustive investigation by The ENQUIRER, we broke a bombshell cover story that hit newsstands a few days ago that revealed insiders believe Hillary is battling brain cancer, and sources said she was facing a hush-hush battery of medical tests to confirm the diagnosis.
“Behind the scenes,Hillary has suffered blinding headaches, problems with her vision and memory, plus terrifying blackouts – and those closest to her say she’s hiding a brain cancer secret,” a source revealed, according to our bombshell report.
“If Hillary is indeed diagnosed with brain cancer, the fear that she could die in a manner of months has devastated those in her inner circle.
"This has been covered up for months, but details of Hillary’s cancer situation are beginning to leak out, and it’s the real reason she’s giving up her position as secretary of state.”
Interestingly, her reps would not immediately reveal the location of Hillary’s blood clot!

I heard earlier, on MSNBC, a doctor explaining that the type of blood clot she has is a Deep Vein Thrombosis, less serious than in the brain, but still a serious matter. A DVT can happen anytime, not just the result of a fall, but many times it's caused by sitting a long time while in flight. With her hectic schedule and time flying around the world, she could have had this a long time.
ReplyDeleteFirst a stomach bug, then a serious fall, and now this?
Rest up and Get Well Soon, Hillary!!!!
Having had emergency surgery for a traumatic brain injury this year, I'm wishing her the best of luck with her healing.
ReplyDeleteHere's a great new Hillary cell phone meme featuring Sarah Palin. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151331723541684&set=a.161668256683.119337.112430746683&type=1&ref=nf
Thank goodness for her doctors, remember Natasha Richardson, Liam's wife? A slight fall while skiing, they put her to bed and she died from a blood clot. I hold my breath every morning to see the news, Hillary is such a world force for good, peace and progress...the world needs her as much as we do. She needs this rest, she deserves so much from us...and yes a huge FU to the right wing haters, there is more integrity and grace in her little finger than the entire GOP party.
ReplyDeletePrayers going to her and her family.
ReplyDeleteNow will the Republicans, including McCain, apologize for saying she was faking her flu as not to have to testify? No...........
OT.... I already published prayers for the family, but in the Palin family Christmas they posted everywhere, where was Bristol's boyfriend? Junky something?
ReplyDeleteMy heart, prayers and thoughts are with Hillary. She has done a tremendous job for us and I pray that she will heal and be with us for many, many years.
ReplyDeleteAll that traveling in planes also makes you more susceptible to them....which she has been doing a lot of over the last 4 years...
