The records of both candidates have been a hot topic of late, so Dr.

Dr. Drew focused on two of Clinton’s conditions: blood clots and hypothyroidism, which is a lack of hormones from the thyroid.
Clinton’s longtime physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, delivered a clean bill of health for the presidential hopeful; furthermore, she provided a statement to FactCheck.org, stating that a number of so-called “leaked” medical records – that appeared to come from her office – were in fact forged. This made it especially surprising when he had serious doubts about the care Clinton has been receiving. The findings? “Both of us concluded that if we were providing the care she was receiving, we would be ashamed to show up in a doctors’ lounge”. We would be laughed out.
Co-host Steve Doocy said: “What [Pinsky] said on the radio yesterday, which has been taken down apparently by the radio station, is that the fact that when we saw Hillary Clinton wearing those prism glasses, a sign of brain damage and other things, and he’s anxious about the care she’s getting so far”.
The medical documents, which were purported to be from Clinton’s physician, said she showed signs of “advancing Subcortical Vascular Dementia” and “frequent Complex Partial Seizures”. “That is brain damage, and it’s affecting her balance”. He famously spearheaded the so-called birther movement, which questions whether President Obama was born in the United States, and said Sen. She had two episodes of what’s called Deep-Venous Thrombosis.
Pinsky also questioned the medications Clinton is using, describing the treatments as “sort of 1950-level care”.
Another issue that “gravely concerned” the doctors is that Mrs. Clinton had to wear prism glasses after she fell and hit her head, suffering from a concussion in 2012. Certainly the presidential candidate would get one of the newer anti-coagulates. “And by the way, wow, Armour Thyroid sometimes has some weird side effects”. It’s not so much that her health is a grave concern. “Maybe they have reasons”, Pinsky said of what he called Clinton’s “old-fashioned” health care, “but at a distance, it looks freaky”. “Again, Hillary may be fine with all of this”. According to Clinton’s physician, she’s taking it “as a precaution”. “It’s that the care she’s getting could make it a concern”.
Well, first of all, just to get down to a human level for a second, all of us ought to include Hillary Clinton in our prayers.
The celebrity doctor’s comments breathed new life into the already-rampant Clinton health conspiracy theories, giving the Fox & Friends crew an excuse to talk about them on Thursday morning.
“I’m always dubious, with all due respect to television doctors, when you have a doctor who has never seen the patient, begin to give you a complicated, fancy sounding analysis based on what?” Gingrich said. “I mean, I would be very cautious and I would recommend to doctors for professional reasons to be very cautious before you start analyzing people”.

At a Monday rally in Ohio, Trump – who, at 70 years old, is almost two years Clinton’s senior – painted her as a candidate who “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face”.
