“She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”. Bardack wrote that Clinton “continues to improve”. Bardack also revealed that back in January as Clinton was campaigning ahead of the Iowa caucus, she developed a sinus and ear infection and had a tube placed in her left ear.

Trump, who has fanned conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health, has provided scant information about his own. Trump filmed an appearance with the television personality and physician Mehmet Oz on Wednesday that will be broadcast on Thursday.
NBC News reported that Dr. Oz pronounced Trump “slightly overweight”. But Pastor Darrell Scott, the CEO of Trump’s National Diversity Coalition said Trump was pushing minority voters to re-think their assumptions about Clinton and the Democratic party by asking what they had to lose by voting for him.
Trump’s campaign has said he will release additional medical information to the public in the coming days.
Trump was joined by his daughter, Ivanka, who also discussed Trump’s new proposals for making childcare more affordable.
Meanwhile, Trump announced that he planned on releasing the details of his recent physical examination this week.
The Trump campaign reversed itself twice yesterday over whether he would turn the full exam results over to Dr Oz, leading to speculation that there was something Mr Trump wanted to hide.
This isn’t to say that Trump isn’t healthy; it’s just that we don’t really know, one way or the other, in a detailed way. Why?
Dr. Lisa Bardack, the chair of internal medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, New York, said Clinton went to see her on Friday, September 2, saying she’d been suffering from a low grade fever, congestion, and fatigue for one day.
The former US secretary of state fainted at a 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday and has since stayed home.
Bardack had released a two-page assessment of Clinton’s health in July 2015.
Clinton aides say she will return to the campaign trail on Thursday after falling ill in public at the weekend. Later on Sunday, Bardack released a statement through the campaign stating that Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia last week.
She was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial event in NY on Sunday and was seen stumbling limp-legged into a Secret Service vehicle. Clinton was prescribed the antibiotic Levaquin and was directed to take it for 10 days. As of now, Clinton has the edge on Trump on the ground in OH, even if she’s losing that edge in the polls. “In consultation with her allergist, she responded well to her medication adjustments”.
Almost half of American adults are “very concerned” about two issues that have hounded Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign this year: her use of a private email server to conduct government business and donations to her family’s charitable foundation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Wednesday. The doctor shared various results from Clinton’s physical exam suggesting she is otherwise in good health.
Clinton was at home in Chappaqua, New York for a third straight day Wednesday, recovering from a health scare that has rocked her bid to become America’s first woman president.
