On a radio show this week, Dr.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump twice this week questioned whether Mrs. Clinton had the mental and physical “stamina” to take on the Islamic State terror group.
If that’s not a dream team of medical experts, what is?
“Based on the information that she has provided and her doctors have provided, we were gravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care”, he said in the interview, transcribed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Dr. Drew focused on two of Clinton’s conditions: blood clots and hypothyroidism, which is a lack of hormones from the thyroid.
The notion that Clinton suffered serious brain damage from a fall has been a featured conspiracy theory of right-wing media ever since it happened in 2012.
Dr. Drew says that he’s “gravely concerned” for Clinton, but not about her health.
Apparently, the Jewish personality told Doug McIntyre with KABC Radio in Los Angeles that he and another physician reviewed Clinton’s medical records and found them troubling. Co-host Brian Kilmeade chimed in with the choice observation that Clinton was wearing the prism glasses when she made the much-criticized “What difference at this point does it make?” comment during a Benghazi hearing. He said her treatment was laughable and outdated by decades.
“Certainly the presidential candidate would get one of the newer anti-coagulates”, said Pinsky. Second, I’m always dubious, with all due respect to television doctors, when you have a doctor who has never seen the patient, begin to give you a complicated, fancy sounding analysis based on what? “It’s freaky. I got to tell you”.
If you want to believe that Hillary Clinton is dying, it’s a good time to be on the internet. If he was, he could have interviewed people who were actually there during the episodes that he’s exploiting.
Drew Pinsky was the producer of “Celebrity Rehab with Dr”. That letter concludes that the former Secretary of State is “a healthy female with hypothyroidism and seasonal allergies, on long-term anticoagulation”.
“What is going on with her health care?” he added. After the fall and resulting concussion, Clinton wore Fresnel prism lenses for two months to treat double vision. There is no mention of any other “brain damage”. This is an exceedingly rare clot. She was later diagnosed with a blood clot and put on anti-coagulants as a precaution. “Clinton also tested negative for all clotting disorders”.
The doctor’s statement serves as fodder to critics of Clinton who have suggested she is not physically fit to serve as president.
One such effort collates a dozen photographs of Clinton seated with a pillow behind her, purportedly because she has some back problem.
All available evidence-no matter what the motley crew of Trump, Dr.

That was reckless speculation by Sean Hannity, all of it.
