But before Clinton went on the plane, she faced some tough questions during an interview with “The Tom Joyner Radio Show”.

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. She was also temporarily on Levaquin to treat her pneumonia.
The letter says the illness stemmed from a bout of seasonal allergies that developed into an upper respiratory tract infection.
During her speech Thursday, Clinton said she spent her time off talking to friends and thinking.
The candidate finally took a few days off from the campaign, and Bardack said she has “since been evaluated by me several times and continues to improve”. Clinton released information from her doctor more than a year ago and provided updated information Wednesday following her pneumonia diagnosis.
“My opponent keeps running us down saying we’re weak, a disaster, and embarrassment”, said Mrs Clinton.
The new letter from Clinton’s doctor stated that a chest scan revealed she had “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”. “Those are the kinds of presidential elections we have in America”, she said. “She has had recurrent blood testing for Coumadin dosing and adjustments”.
The letter also describes medications that Clinton is taking, including a blood thinner and a medication for hypothyroidism.
So 54 percent of the people who said they’d vote for Clinton said they picked her because they don’t like Trump.
Clinton has spent the past three days out of the public eye, recuperating at her suburban NY home.
But on Thursday Mrs Clinton walked on to the stage of a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, to the sound of James Brown’s “I Feel Good”.
He said: “I don’t know folks, do you think Hillary Clinton would be able to stand up here for an hour?” He has never smoked and his alcohol use is “modest”.
Presumed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton listens during a town hall style campaign event, Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2015, at South Church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He handed Dr. Oz some documents, but it is not clear whether they included actual medical records.
The 70-year-old businessman also discussed his health with Dr Mehmet Oz during a taped episode of the medical chat show, which aired on Thursday.
