“The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition”, the letter said.

“I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”, Bardack added at the time. Clinton’s note contains more details about the pneumonia that caused her to leave a 9/11 memorial event early.
Clinton had suffered coughing fits last week while talking to reporters and at public events that she had attributed to allergies.
Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump will also reveal the results of his own recent medical exam during a TV show set to be aired on Thursday, said a daily report by The Hill, a top U.S. political website.
Clinton, according to spokesman Nick Merrill, spent all three days off the campaign trail at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y, where a steady stream of flowers were seen delivered to the house.
A statement from her doctor released Wednesday said a CT-scan revealed Clinton had a noncontagious bacterial pneumonia, and that she was instructed to take Levaquin for the next 10 days.
Trump taped the episode in NY that will air on Thursday, in which he gave host Dr Mehmet Oz a summary of a physical exam conducted last week. But voters will have to wait another day for details: the show does not air until Thursday. “He called her a ‘nervous mess, ‘” Clinton said. 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. “I’ve said it from the very beginning whether I was up, down, it didn’t matter”, Clinton said.
If for some reason Donald Trump or Clinton were unable to serve their terms, voters say Trump’s running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is more prepared to be president than Clinton’s running mate Sen.
Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communications director, said the candidate’s break from the campaign trail helped her “sharpen the final argument she will present to voters in these closing weeks”.
Bornstein and Trump came under fire last month after the doctor revealed that the note was written in five minutes while a limousine sent by the candidate waited outside Bornstein’s Manhattan office.

But when Mrs Clinton takes her place once again behind the podium, she will also have to reassure the public that she has fully recovered and is fit to take on the most powerful role in the world.
