Hillary Clinton’s doctor says she is recovering from her pneumonia and remains “healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States”.

In a snippet teased on the site, Mehmet Oz – who is also a professor of surgery at Columbia University in NY – is seen asking Mr. Trump: “If your health is as strong as it seems. why not show your medical records?”
U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she was “doing great” as she held her first rally after pneumonia forced her to take time out of the campaign trail.
Trump discussed his health in a segment of the Dr Oz Show that will air today.
The CBS News/New York Times survey found Clinton had just a two-point edge (46 to 44 percent) over her Republican rival in a two-way matchup among likely voters. Clinton’s pneumonia symptoms began around the start of this month, and she saw Bardack on 2 September for a low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue.
Speculation has surrounded Clinton’s health since she was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial service in NY early on Sunday. “I examined her immediately upon her return home; she was re-hydrating and recovering nicely”. The Democratic nominee emerged onstage at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina on Thursday to the strains of James Brown’s “I Feel Good”, claiming that the time off had provided her with a rare opportunity to “reconnect” with the most important aspects of the election. Her letter made no mention of her weight, a key part of a medical exam; nor did a similar letter released past year.
The doctor also confirmed that Clinton takes medicine for a thyroid condition, as well as blood thinner Coumadin. The blood clot was in a vein in the space between Clinton’s brain and the skull behind the right ear, according to the letter. She had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound and shows no signs of developing heart disease, which runs in her family.
On Thursday, Donald Trump’s doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, released a letter to The Washington Post detailing the billionaire’s own medications, including a statin to lower his cholesterol.
Also on Wednesday, Clinton released a new letter from her personal doctor recounting the treatment of a minor bacterial pneumonia infection that was diagnosed last week.

In releasing a letter from Trump’s doctor Thursday, Trump’s team appeared to take a swipe at Clinton’s brief absence from the campaign trail. In stark contrast, Donald Trump is hands down the least transparent presidential nominee in memory. It also interrupted a series of speeches in which she had planned to refocus her campaign on what she would do for the country after a period when she attacked Trump as a risky, unprepared candidate. “So I think what you’re going to see from us over the next few weeks is trying to showcase why she’s running, what she wants to get done, the people she wants to help”.
