Clinton appears anxious to change the subject of the news cycle from her health and appeared to punctuate that conversation with the release of additional documentation Wednesday afternoon in which her doctor said she “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president”.

Hillary Clinton’s physician, Dr. Bardack wrote the diagnosis in a letter published on the Democratic nominee’s official site. She also takes a thyroid medication, as well as a blood thinner.
The new letter from Clinton’s doctor stated that a chest scan revealed she had “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”.
The two-page note details her illness – the impact of which was captured on video by a bystander as an unsteady Clinton was hoisted into a van after she abruptly left a 9/11 memorial service – the medication and her health in general.
Clinton will speak today in Greensboro, North Carolina, in a ceremony to mark her return to the presidential campaign after some days off while she was recovering from pneumonia, and in particular a relapse during a tribute to 9/11 victims. The statement said that on September 2, Hillary was checked out due to “a fever, congestion and fatigue”, and she was “advised to see me when she returned from her travels for further testing”.
She was asked to comment on former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s hacked emails that showed him saying: “Everything HRC touches, she kind of screws up with hubris”.
The documentation adds little to the previous health records she divulged a year ago, which stated that Clinton has low cholesterol and has seasonal allergies. The 70-year-old has blood pressure of 116 over 70, and his total cholesterol is 169, his doctor says.
The blood clot was said to have been in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.
Hillary Clinton’s doctor on Wednesday declared her healthy and said she is “recovering well” from pneumonia and remains “fit to serve as President of the United States”.
News of Trump’s appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” – though it appeared to reveal little detail – had earlier flooded the USA airwaves on Wednesday.
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.
Donald Trump talks to Dr Oz about his health ahead of the upcoming USA election.
Hey, not fair – that’s for Dr. Oz to decide.

“I’m really glad that I did finally follow my doctor’s orders and take some days to rest instead of just trying to keep powering through, which I think is a common experience for people”. It shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 41 to 39 percent when the two third-party candidates are included.
