“She also has hypothyroidism, and she’d been treated for hypothyroidism with something called Armour Thyroid, which is very unconventional and something that we used to use back in the ’60s”, Dr. Drew said.

Dr. Pinsky, who is a practicing physician, said he and his friend Dr. Robert Huizenga (known as “Dr. H” on “The Biggest Loser”) reviewed medical records released by the Democratic presidential nominee.
After Clinton fell and hit her head in 2012, she suffered a “transverse sinus thrombosis”, which he called an “exceedingly rare clot” that he has only come across once in his career. Drew explained on Tuesday, commenting on the recent speculation around Clinton’s health after photographs surfaced of her receiving help up stairs. “People saw her stamina testifying against Congress for 11 hours and not wavering for one minute”.
Pinsky bristles at the idea that he has no business evaluating the medical and mental capacities of the major-party presidential candidates, neither of whom is his patient.
The Jewish personality told KABC Radio’s Doug McIntyre that he and another physician were left anxious after reviewing Clinton’s medical records together, which he said reflected outdated treatments from the middle of the last century. Maybe they have reasons, but at a distance, it looks weird. “They think that his tax returns are so relevant, so both of their health is not relevant?” she asked before quickly moving on. I have recently been made aware of allegedly “leaked” medical documents regarding Secretary Clinton with my name on them.
The famous doctor Drew Pinsky is adding fuel to the conspiracy theory started by Donald Trump regarding the health of his rival earlier this week. “These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts”, she wrote. “That is brain damage, and it’s affecting her balance”, Pinsky said. He believes it’s possible he and her doctors have legitimate reasons for using these treatments.
“I could bring down your government with a single word”, he tells Jones. “It’s not so much that her health is a grave concern”, Pinsky admitted, using the phrase for a third time. “It’s that the care she’s getting could make it a concern”.
