Donald Trump surprises Dr. Oz with results of recent physical
http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/14/medi...-trump-taping/

Clinton is currently taking Armor Thyroid, Coumadin, Levaquin (temporarily), Clarinex and B-12 as needed.

Wow... interesting that she is taking Coumadin/Warfarin. I guess the doctors assessed she is at high risk for a blood clot/stroke. It's not something you normally are on unless you absolutely have to be as it is major blood thinner and you are required to keep a consistent diet and be seen for testing regularly. If you're on it and have an accident of any kind where the skin breaks, you're much more likely to bleed to death as your wounds won't clot properly without intervention... though I guess less likely if she has an entourage with her at all times and her doctor feels it's necessary to avoid the risks of a stroke. Most people just take Aspirin though

I mean it's not news, heart disease is certainly very manageable and doesn't have to complicate life too much. It's just not fun to be on Coumadin as you have a lot of additional things to be concerned about (like accidents, cutting yourself, too much of certain foods etc). All that make up she has to spend to cover up the excessive bruising... or else all the conspiracy theorists might write she's been in a brawl with Bill or she bruised when fainting, etc etc... it tends to change the color of the skin too (sometimes greenish).

Praying for Hillary's protime every time I see her eat greens at one of her campaign stops from now on

She did suffer from a blood clot though, so you would expect her to be on some form of follow up medication after that.

I think she has been on this ever since a fall and the blood clot was removed from her Brain years ago.

She got a blood clot just before being asked to give evidence too.

Yeah, the rest of her stuff looks pretty typical. It sucks having to be on any medication at all.

Wow.

Oh, looks like the Donald might've released something...

OMG, an overweight American?? Nooooooo

Pretty smart on Trump's part to release the actual doctor as part of a daytime TV show

They didnt mention that he had a ferret grafted onto the top of his head

That's literally what my husband had this morning for "breakfast". I even brought him home a nice sub from grocery shopping.

Is it crazy to think that some things should remain private? Even if it's for a case of transparency, what's the point of that when everything either candidate would do as president would contradict 80% of their campaign pledges anyway.

It's more to do with proving they're healthy enough (i.e. of sound mind) to be the commander-in-chief. The president on The West Wing hid the fact he had MS from his staffers and the electorate and was almost investigated for effectively lying under oath before accepting a congressional censure

That said, when you have a candidate that's already as irrational as Donald Trump, medical issues seem rather inconsequential

playing to the loony left there pal....got to be politically correct at all time regardless of the argument.....most of what he says is perfectly rational, tariffs, trades, jobs at home, protection and safeguards against terrorism, reduce the all time national debt, reduce corporate corruption, support small to medium businesses. keep social security but increase payments to veterans, reduce wars in the middle eat, is not in the hands of corporate money men , he rejects their funding, scrap nafta and ttip etc the list goes on..though he is wrong on guns imo....clinton ignores the debt, empowers yet more corporate greed, corruption takes their money, ignores their obscene tax dodging, the endless wasteful government projects under the democrats, shes in the pockets of umpteen banks too

Please stop using terms like 'loony left', it's hysterical and embarrassing, not to mention irrelevant when you're effectively preaching to the choir here 'pal'. I can't stand Hillary, and she represents very little (if anything) of what left leaning politics actually stands for. This entire presidential election is a nightmare and both candidates are a joke, so don't try to pigeonhole me as a Clinton stan like you do with everyone else - because it couldn't be further from the truth.

None of this stuff it to do with their mental health though, I don't understand any of this either tbh, I don't get why we need to know their medical reports at all

I know... I mean untimely death has occurred in the presidency before... and that is why they have a Vice President of course... so why should I care if Hilary is taking medication for a thyroid disorder ...or if Donald is thick in girth. It's the fact that Donald is delusional and uncomprehendable in his speeches that worries me

Exactly I mean they're 68 and 70 years old, neither of them are going to be near their physical peak and shouldn't be expected to be... it's kind of crazy to think that either of them would be. How many people that age don't have some/occasional health issues (especially with having high stress and pressured jobs too)

That was why I was angered at the propaganda about her health and how she was "hiding something"... and it is now proven to be just propaganda... so I really hope we can all move in from this non issue

I know people get mad at the 'sexism card' but I really do think a lot of the reason why it was blown so out of proportion is because she's a woman and that some people see her as weak and have been jumping on this whole thing as a way of trying to shame her. If Trump had walking pneumonia I imagine his supporters would be praising him for powering through, and of course making the point that some rest and antibiotics is all he'd need - because like you say, it's not an issue.

Absolutely 100% this.

I agree with all that Jamie, that is exactly how it would have been portrayed.

[the truth]

hillary is collapsing and she has had blood clots and a serious cough sadly....it has effected her and she is low energy at the moment...trump seems as strong as a horse, especially for a man of 70...his family do tend to live long lives. so this is really a hillary issue. lets hope she stops lying about it and we get back to the politics

[the truth]

the gap is down to 1.8%
