Clinton’s stumble raises health concern
Hillary Clinton is back at her suburban NY home, after having left the 9/11 memorial ceremony in lower Manhattan early because she was feeling “overheated”.

A video taken by an attendee shows Clinton appearing to stumble as she gets into her van to leave the event.
The doctor examined Clinton Friday for a prolonged cough and she diagnosed pneumonia, a lung infection. Clinton’s campaign says she left early after feeling “overheated”.
Doctor Bardack said the 68 year-old Clinton’s unsteadiness was caused by being “overheated and dehydrated”.
About two hours later, she was seen walking out of her daughter’s NY apartment, greeting people on the sidewalk and saying, “It’s a attractive day in NY”. Leaving after a while, she waved at supporters and cameras, and posed with a little girl.
Clinton may well be totally fine – and I certainly hope she is. He said she was standing on a curb with her protective detail waiting for her motorcade.
Critics and Donald Trump reporters who have repeatedly questioned Clinton’s health immediately seized upon the episode. Merrill said that Clinton attended “to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen”.
Doctors said she is now “recovering nicely”.
The incident, which the campaign initially attributed to the former secretary of state becoming “overheated” at the Ground Zero ceremony in NY, comes less than two months before Election Day, and just two weeks before she faces GOP rival Donald Trump in their first televised debate.
Clinton was taken to her daughter Chelsea’s home nearby in Manhattan, and left about 90 minutes later. Her campaign later said she had “felt overheated”.
“How are you feeling Secretary Clinton?”.
The 9/11 fainting episode likely won’t help Clinton put an end to those health rumors – but, judging by the statement issued by Dr. Bardack (the only physician who has actually examined Clinton), the Democratic candidate should be back on her feet in no time.
Her campaign team said she had been “overheated” but was now feeling “much better”. The fall led to temporary double vision and discovery of a blood clot in between her brain and skull.
Bardack attended to Clinton at her Chappaqua home Sunday.
The weather was warm and humid in NY on Sunday, and there was a breeze during the ceremony, the Associated Press reports.
Trump, 70, only released a letter from his doctor that said he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Recently, critics have pointed to coughing fits as an indication of Clinton’s failing health.
Dr. Harold Bornstein’s report last December remains the only medical information released so far by the Trump campaign.

The doctor has since said he wrote the letter in five minutes flat, as a Trump campaign vehicle waited outside.
