Clinton’s campaign also said it would release more information about her medical condition this week, which campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said would “put to rest any lingering concerns” about the 68-year-old’s health.

The statement said she was treated with an antibiotic called Levaquin, which was prescribed for 10 days.
According to Clinton’s physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, “the remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition”. It’s her first public appearance since Sunday, when she abruptly left a 9/11 memorial service in NY after feeling becoming dizzy and dehydrated. Clinton went to her daughter’s apartment in Manhattan to recover before returning home to Chappaqua, N.Y.; later that evening, her campaign revealed that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia the preceding Friday.
The release of Clinton’s medical information was a bit of political gamesmanship, coming just hours after Republican Donald Trump revealed some of his health history at a taping of the “Dr. Oz Show” Wednesday in NY.
Dr. Bardack also revealed she evaluated Clinton a week earlier, on September 2 for a fever, congestion and fatigue.
“Everything she touched didn’t work out – nothing”, Trump said, before the church’s pastor joined him at the podium and chastised him.
Bornstein had previously written a note declaring the 70-year-old Trump, if elected, would be the healthiest president in history.
Aside from the pneumonia, Bardack also disclosed the Clinton developed a sinus and ear infection in January that required the insertion of a myringotomy tube in her left ear.
However, earlier on Wednesday Donald Trump proved that he’s even healthier than Clinton when he dramatically pulled his own two-page report from this pocket during a taping of The Dr. Oz Show.
Trump’s running mate Mike Pence said he plans to release records from a recent physical examination Thursday.
Omalu took to Twitter, writing, “I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton’s blood”. The doctor toldNBC News that he wrote the letter in five minutes as Mr. Trump’s limo idled outside his office. His doctor said he is in “overall excellent health”.
This post has been updated with information on the release of Kaine’s medical information.
“I will treat her with great respect”, Trump said of Clinton. Reporters were not allowed to attend the taping, and the campaign has yet to release these documents to the public.

Clinton’s team released the more detailed information about her health and the factors that contributed to the 9/11 memorial incident in response to criticisms about transparency as well as relentless right-ring conspiracy theories that she has underlying medical issues that it fueled. That’s probably why he finally broke today after restraining himself from commenting on Clinton’s failing health for three whole days.
