The Democratic presidential nominee called in to the Tom Joyner radio show in an interview that broadcast Thursday morning during which she pledged to release more medical records beyond a Wednesday letter from her doctor detailing her pneumonia and routine lab tests that indicated normal results.

Speculation has surrounded Clinton’s health since she was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial service in NY early on Sunday.
“She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States”, concluded Dr Bardack in the letter.
The letter from Trump’s long-time doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, lists Trump’s weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and other numbers.
Her campaign said on Wednesday that her physician found her complete physical examination was “normal” and she is in “excellent mental condition”. “Clinton hopes that these voters care more about bread and butter issues than about the candidates’ health bulletins and that she can manage to prevent these voters from flocking to Donald Trump”. She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest.
“Hillary Clinton’s release of updated medical information today meets a standard followed by presidential candidates like Barack Obama and Mitt Romney”, he said. Her campaign had been pressed to be more transparent about Clinton’s health, particularly after it failed to reveal her Friday pneumonia diagnosis until Sunday, when she almost collapsed as she left the Ground Zero site in NY.
Fit as a fiddle! Hillary Clinton released additional medical records to the public on Wednesday, September 14, in which her doctor declared her to be in good health.
The disclosure came as her Republican rival Donald Trump – in a media-savvy move – released new health data of his own during the taping of a nationally televised medical chat show set to air Thursday.
“Our campaign readily admits that running against a candidate as controversial as Donald Trump means it is harder to be heard on what you aspire for the country’s future, and it is incumbent on us to work harder”, Palmieri said in a statement. A New York Times/CBS News poll released on Thursday showed Clinton had the support of 46 percent of likely voters nationwide, with 44 percent backing Trump.
The campaign said she had a chest scan on Friday that showed a “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”.
Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign trail. “It’s America first now folks, America first”, Trump said. Clinton takes medication for an under active thyroid, which has been stable for years, Clarinex for her allergies, a vitamin B12 supplement and the blood thinner Coumadin following a 2012 blood clot in her head.
“What I think is really important about the emails is the chilling fact”, she said, “that the Russians are continuing to attempt to interfere in our election”. Her campaign believes that one upside for Clinton’s break from the trail was having time to sharpen the final argument she will present to voters in these closing weeks.
Bornstein admitted later that he wrote the note in five minutes while a limousine sent by the 70-year-old waited outside.
Trump said that some women “just aren’t in a position to go get a prescription”.
“I call people who aren’t supporting me American citizens who are entitled to the same respect as anyone else”, the NY billionaire said.

Trump says he, too, plans to release details from a recent physical, though it’s unclear when that will happen and how much information he will provide.
