“Why do you think you have the stamina for the job?” David Scheiner, who was Barack Obama’s longtime physician before he was elected president, praised this unusual move, telling the Washington Post, “Because she has had blood clots, I think in the back of the doctor’s mind was, could she possibly have pulmonary embolism?”

“We really want to respond to legitimate questions that people might have”, Clinton said.
But during a recording of an episode of the “Dr. Oz Show” in NY that will air on Thursday, Trump gave host Dr. Mehmet Oz a summary of a physical exam conducted last week.
The syndicated television show will not be broadcast until Thursday and the campaign declined to immediately disclose the results. She was put on a short course of antibiotics, and advised to rest and continue taking her medication for seasonal allergies.
Clinton’s running-mate, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, 58, also released a physician letter on Wednesday.
Ms Clinton (68) has blood pressure of 100 over 70.
Clinton had been previously diagnosed with blood clots, and in 2012 while she was secretary of state a clot was discovered in her brain after she suffered a concussion.
Clinton aides say she will return to the campaign trail on Thursday after falling ill in public on the weekend.
Her lab tests (vitamin D, CBC, fasting blood glucose, comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1-C, vitamin B-12) were all described as “normal” by her physician.
Mrs Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and told to rest last Friday, but said she ignored “that very wise advice” and continued her campaign schedule.
Wednesday, a letter from Dr. Lisa Bardack, MD, was released to the public by the campaign. The letter said Kaine has never smoked and his alcohol use is “modest”. He’s 5-foot-9 and weighed almost 208 pounds during his last physical in February.
In her letter Wednesday, Bardack wrote that she first evaluated Clinton on September 2 after she had been experiencing “a low-grade fever, congestion, and fatigue” for the previous 24 hours.
“Flint is focused on fixing the problems caused by lead contamination of our drinking water, not photo ops”, said Weaver, who supports Hillary Clinton, Trump’s opponent. And it begs the question: “what is he trying to hide?”
A spokesman for Trump’s running mate Mike Pence says the IN governor plans to release records from a recent physical examination as soon as his doctor compiles the information.
A release from the show said “Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump though a full review of his systems”, including his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history.
Trump, on the other hand, has disclosed virtually nothing other than a laughable letter from his doctor and a few scripted moments about his health with Dr. Oz.
Trump is appeared at an event Thursday in New York City. His Doctor Oz charade is as completely unserious as his original joke of a letter written in five minutes.
Donald Trump’s Dr. Oz appearance will air.
With a clean bill of health, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is hitting the road again.

Donald Trump, her Republican rival, also promised to offer up more information about his health later this week, following quarrels between the two campaigns over which candidate is more secret about their health and wealth.
