Doctors: Blood Clot Located in Hillary Clinton’s Head, Confident She Will Make Full Recovery

WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — Doctors treating Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for a blood clot say the clot formed in her head but they stress that they are confident she will make a full recovery.

In an update Monday on Clinton’s condition, her doctors say the blood clot did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. The clot is located in the vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.

Clinton’s doctors say that to help dissolve the clot, they are treating her with blood thinners. They say she will be released once the medication dose has been established.

In their update, the doctors say the 65-year-old secretary of state is making excellent progress and is in good spirits.

On Monday, NBC chief science reporter Robert Bazell said “there may be more to this story that we don’t know” after Clinton’s office said she was being treated with blood thinners after she suffered a blood clot due to a recent concussion.

“The problem is that concussions, when they lead to blood clots — the blood clots are not usually treated with blood thinners, as they say she’s being treated,” he said. “If she has a blood clot that occurred because she was sitting around or something, they would treat that with blood thinners, and that would be fine. But there may be more to this story that we don’t know.”

It doesn’t appear that officials immediately explained why they chose to treat Clinton with blood thinners when, as Bazell explained, blood clots resulting from concussions are not usually treated with blood thinners.

So, just as we have believed all along. And the doctors confirm our suspicions, it is all in her head, a mere figment of her imagination. The clot that covered Benghazi. A dark day in our history in a soon to be two term sentence of doom for those left to endure those next four years.

Clinton is a lifetime politician like Barry and his drunken idiot lap dog Biden,they’re all liars and cheats and there isn’t anything medically wrong with her. She’s just lying like all lifetime politicians she’s doing what comes natural.

The excuses that have been made for her not testifying on Benghazi seem more like the excuses of a child wanting to get out of going to school; such as Ferris Bueller. Only his were funny and clever.

This is just pathetic and craven. And remember: people are dead. Something more than just diplomacy was going on at this compound in Benghazi before it all went down. I think it was not a diplomatic embassy or mission like the MSM portray, but a CIA compound for running weapons from Lybia to the Syrian al-Queda, and it has come apart, just like Fast & Furious.

If she really is that ill, which I seriously doubt, I want her to get healed soon, so she can clear up this boon-doggle.

Besides, she has to, if she wants to run for the top office in 2016. But, I would not be surprised if she has an “accident” like Ron Brown or a “suicide” like Vince Foster. If she has the goods on Obama, that might be her fate.

  She absolutely has the goods on BHO. She is also responsible for illegal acts and will not spill the beans. Fake death sounds like a viable option here. Or real death, if BHO’s hit-men got her first.

She is either the luckiest person on earth or the unluckiest. I can`t decide which. Make her testify when this emergency is over and she has recovered from all these health problems that suddenly fell upon her. Lotus.

HELLOOOOOOO…….It is because someone is lying! IT was first reported to be in her leg. They can’t even get the location right. It is a lie because she does not want to have to go lie like her husband and be impeached. Now she is stuck. How is she going to keep from having to talk about Benghazi and still look healthy enough to run for president. What a POS.

yep, but she will have MAJOR memory problems, this is how she will protect Obama and herself. Him from impeachment, and herself for her presidential run in 2016

Just a guess……. but I am thinking that they “chose” to treat her blood clot with blood thinners, because she doesn’t have a blood clot!!! This is just not serious, why would they (doctors) take the chance to treat it in an unconventional way if it was in fact serious?????

  They are, at least, lying about the seriousness of her situation. Imagine if the headlines read Hillary has open brain surgery. Her chances in ’16 would start to diminish greatly.

Did you hear? Andrew Breitbart dropped dead! Yep. Went out, had a few drinks, left the bar and was walking near his home when he dropped dead. Isn’t that the funniest thing ever? I just start laughing every time I think of it. Hilarious.

I just don’t believe it, remember all those “Doctors” handing out fake sick notes in WI to the teachers so they could get paid to protest? Hill has called in sick to testify one too many times.

this should be used against her if she gets the opportunity to run. she has health and concussion issues and should not be considered for office. if she made a full recovery,she wouldn’t be a communist anymore! what will she say when el presidente baboona won’t leave the white mosque?

Hmmm…..So, the Doctor’s say she will have a “Full Recovery”…? Sounds like she will be in perfect heath to finally testify.

Hey! I’m NOT a Hillary fan–AT ALL! Can’t stand the womans positions on most anything! She’s a PROGRESSIVE Carpet ******! However, she is suffering an event that could have life-threatening or life-altering effects and I wish her well–A FULL AND SPEEDY RECOVERY! And, then, after that, we’ll hopefully be able to hear her testimony, for whatever THAT is worth! You KNOW she’s not going to take the rap or discredit this administration unless there is jail time staring her in the face! By the way, check out “ShadowBosses: Government Unions Control America and Rob the Taxpayers Blind”. This is what ObamaCare is all about–the unionization of 1/3 of our economy and ALL the high-end professionals! ‘Workers of the World Unite’, ‘The Occupy Movement’, etc. are ALL JUST A FEINT! Hillary, Barack, Nancy, Harry, Joe, etc. ARE ALL IN THE POCKET OF THE NEW LABOR MOVEMENT! Why try and unionize Bangladesh, when you have a nice, juicy Federal HealthCare Program just set-up for your picking! BEWARE!!!

  By the way, she is in a GREAT Hospital, well-equipped and staffed for just her type of malady! It is real and it is serious, and it sounds like she has every prospect for a full recovery. She is where I’d go if I had such a clot.

Oh – Couple Righties getting upset at you because you wrote something just like they have been writing about Clinton these past couple days.
You comments are way out of line. As are theirs.

Just thought interesting to see a couple of them get upset at you – but not at those similar comments made against Clinton.
