Breaking: Hillary Clinton Hospitalized After Blood Clot Discovered

US News • Views: 29,018

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been hospitalized tonight after doctors discovered a blood clot in a follow-up exam after her concussion earlier this month. It’s not clear from early reports whether the blood clot is in her brain, but if so, that would be a very serious concern.

She is expected to remain at New York Presbyterian Hospital for the next 48 hours so doctors can monitor her condition and treat her with anti-coagulants, said Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.

“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion,” Reines said. “They will determine if any further action is required.”

Clinton, 65, was suffering from a stomach virus earlier this month when she fainted due to dehydration, causing the concussion.

“Jim Treacher” (real name: Sean Medlock) at the Daily Caller a few days ago: Where’s Hillary Clinton’s Medical Report? | the Daily Caller.

If she has a concussion, let’s see the medical report. Let’s see some proof that she’s not just stonewalling. If it’s true, then we can all wish her a speedy recovery. But it’s ridiculous to expect us to take her word for it.

And predictably, the inmates at FR and Hotair are already engaging in conspiracy theories, the most popular being "She's faking it to avoid testifying about Benghazi!" and "Obama's trying to have her knocked off to keep her from testifying about Benghazi!"

Here's hoping for her rapid recovery.

Sure enough, the freep response is as predictable as the stench from an overflowing cesspool. Many freepers take it for granted that this is some kind of hoax having something or other to do with Benghazi.

16. We already knew that Bengazi is bad, but this means that it’s really, really bad, and there’s probably lots more that we do not yet know.
Maybe 90% of the dark, crazy stuff we’ve been theorizing here about it might be true:
Hillary does not launch into this type of exotic political calesthenics for nothing —there are some very heavy-duty skeletons in Bengazi that our shovels have been striking very near.
We’ve gotta keep the pressure up.

This one is more direct:

#18 I’m sure the clot is in the part of the brain labeled “Benghazi Memories”.

Some, of course, think Hillary is not in on the fix but is being slowly assassinated by You Know Who:

10. She may be getting the Vince Foster treatment from the current regime. Karma.

15. Early onset Arkancide?

21. Either this is a total lie, or she was whacked over the head in her home by someone not wanting her to testify on Benghazi.

We're being told not to lay into cynics who speculated as to the seriousness of her condition, meanwhile those cynics are preparing declarations that she's still faking illness to avoid testifying.

Yeah, sorry, I'm not gonna cut them any slack.

Some of the FR's are doubting the story based on how ludicrous it is that she got her doctor to see her on a Sunday.

Srsly? They think the Secretary of State of the United States of America, 4th in line for the presidency, should call her physician when his office opens on Wednesday? Or perhaps she should go sit in an ER somewhere for a few hours?

Beethoven: The Symphonies
All nine symphonies performed on original period instruments. Not what most people are used to hearing. The strings are mushier and the brass is crunchier. Tempos and dynamics are a lot different than most modern interpretations.

Yet another example of demonizing the "enemy." Hillary Clinton, aside from all her public accomplishments, is also a middle-aged wife and mother. If she were anyone else, most of these creeps would be worrying about her condition and sending her flowers.

I really can't tell the difference between Beethoven on period instruments and modern instruments. Bach, Handel, Telemann, Mozart all sound different when played on the original instruments. Anything from 1820 forward I can't really tell, but, I am not a musician.

:P

39 Vicious Babushka  Sun, Dec 30, 2012 6:43:06pm

The reviews mention that there are some glitches:

Well, there are a few glitches:

(1) As noted by another poster, the third movement of the String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132, isn't there. The third movement of the Quartet No. 12, Op. 127, has been inadvertently duplicated in its place. (Quartet No. 12 also has two extra movements: the last two movements of Quartet No. 13 have been duplicated and added to it.)

(2) The piano sonata listed as No. 26 is actually Sonata No. 12 in A-flat, Op. 26 ("Funeral March"). The Sonata No. 26 ("Les Adieux") is not included.

(3) The two tracks of the Piano Sonata No. 21 ("Waldstein") are reversed.

Hopefully Amazon will make the third movement of Quartet No. 15 available at some future time. For my own part, I can replace it out of my CD collection. I would have paid 99 cents just for Bruce Hungerford's wonderful performance of the little Op. 79 piano sonata, which hasn't been available since its original LP release. So unless that particular quartet is crucial, I'd jump on this release.

Yeah well, whatever.

Makes me very happy to realize that in one hundred years, Hillary Clinton will probably be take up several chapters in the history of Barack Obama's presidency, while these fools will be at most a footnote.

re: #64 engineer cat

i'm all ears, but: examples?

also, what would you call the new genres since grunge?

I like how Rock evolved from overproduced hair metal anthems to the garage sound and basic stage setups. Back in the mid 80's, rock singers were required to have a very high range, but nowadays singers can have normal human range. There has been a resurgence in acoustic music on the pop charts as well. That all but disappeared for a few decades. And rock changed some when rap lyrics started to creep into hard rock tracks. That would have been unheard of in the early days of rap and hip-hop.

I enjoy listening to the merging sound of pop/rock/hip hop/dance music that has taken over the top 40 format. That is where pop music is now. Not sure where rock music can go without being part of that.

Which were preceded by the JBS, who followed upon the heels of Fr. Coughlin.

This is a long living movement of anti-modernism, the rejection of the results of the industrial and then information revolution, both of which have undercut the deep tribalism upon which Western Civilization has struggled in its "tension" (ah, what a useful word...) between being "Christianized" and inter-tribal European warfare.

Modernity has progressively erased the differences between tribes, and this unsettles those who want the old order of things.

193 Targetpractice  Sun, Dec 30, 2012 8:37:05pm

Wise fellow over at TPM seems to have answered the "concussion/clot" question:

There isn't much more information other than the above. I am a physician; here is my speculation, which should be taken with a grain of salt. (I also posted this on DailyKos)

The doctors said that her "blood clots" were related to her concussion. The blood clots were being treated with anticoagulants.

It is possible, but unlikely, that she has a subdural hematoma- a blood clot that forms between the dura mater (the outer lining attached to the skull) and the arachnoid mater (the inner lining adhering to the brain).

A subdural hematoma is usually caused by relatively minor head trauma which causes a tearing of small veins. The gradual accumulation of blood causes headaches and neurological symptoms.

I doubt that she has a subdural hematoma because this is NOT treated with anticoagulants. Usual treatment is observation for small clots -or- surgical removal of the clot if the patient has significant neurological symptoms or rapid growth of the clot.

More likely is a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the veins of the leg.

Secretary Clinton has several risk factors for a "hypercoaguable state;" a situation where her blood is more likely to clot in low-flow blood vessels like the veins her legs.

Her risks factors include:

- a recent viral gastroenteritis
- dehydration
- bed rest due to the concussion
- and most importantly, prolonged air travel.

The treatment for a DVT is anticoagulants.

If she does indeed have a DVT, the prognosis is good. The biggest danger is that a large part of the clot would break off and travel to the lungs, where it would block blood flow through the lungs.

Another danger is the risk of anticoagulation- either not enough, leading to growth of the clot -or- too much causing dangerous bleeding. With proper monitoring (which I am sure she will get!) the risk is low.

After several days of an injectable anticoagulant, she would be sent home on an oral anticoagulant.

We wish her well!!

An interesting note is that a very similar thing happened to Richard Nixon during his 1960 campaign for the presidency.

Is Obama representing the Aristocracies refusal to share power with the poor and bourgeoisie classes, or the rise of those classes against a cruel and recalcitrant Aristocracy?

Or are these people to stupid to understand the historical references, and simply using a generic struggle against a great power trope that imagines they themselves being a repressed minority and Obama being the all powerful tyrant that they are rising up against?

Kanye West has reacted to criticism of his heavy use of Auto-Tune on new album 808s & Heartbreaks, claiming that the software has actually made him a better singer.

"I get a lot of backlash for using [Auto-Tune] because it's a tool people use when they can't sing," says West. "What it does for me, if I sing off-key, it really points that out. It points out the bad notes. So what I have to do is sing more perfect".

If last week's media statement wasn't reason enough to think that the NRA has gone totally around the bend, we get his story.

Silencers: The NRA’s latest big lie

It should surprise no one that the NRA has recently thrown its weight behind an industry campaign to deregulate and promote the use of silencers. Under the trade banner of the American Silencer Association, manufacturers have come together with the support of the NRA to rebrand the silencer as a safety device belonging in every all-American gun closet. To nurture this potentially large and untapped market, the ASA last April sponsored the first annual all-silencer gun shoot and trade show in Dallas. America’s silencer makers are each doing their part. SWR Suppressors is asking survivalists to send a picture of their “bugout bag” for a chance to win an assault rifle silencer. The firm Silencero — “We Dig Suppressors and What They Do” — has put together a helpful “Silencers Are Legal” website and produced a series of would-be viral videos featuring this asshole.

This Silencer Awareness Campaign is today’s gun lobby in a bottle. The coordinated effort brings together the whole family: manufacturers, dealers, the gun press, rightwing lawmakers at every level of government, and the NRA. Each are doing their part to chip away at federal gun regulation in the name of profits and ideology. Together, they plan to strip the longstanding regulatory regime around silencers, and reintroduce them to the gun-buying public as wholesome, children-friendly accessories, as harmless as car mufflers.

In case you’re wondering, the answer is yes, the gun lobby’s grand strategy rests grotesquely on fake concern for child hearing health. Among the opening shots in the campaign was a feature in the February 2011 issue of Gun World, “Silence is Golden,” penned by the veteran gun writer Jim Dickson. “One only has to look at children in the rest of the world learning to shoot with silencers, protecting their tender young ears, to see what an innocent safety device we are talking about here,” writes Dickson. “To use an overworked propaganda phrase, legalize silencers ‘for the sake of the children.’”

I had a friend who died this way - deep vein clot, it got thrown and went to his heart. He was the tech we always sent flying, and all those long hours sitting got to him.

Ice bullets? They have been reading too many Dan Brown books.

Mythbusters' very first episode actually busted that one. And they revisited it (and busted it again) later.

But to hard-core conspiracists, that just means Mythbusters is 'a puppet of the conspirators'. Such conspiracists cannot be made to accept the truth, because their illusions mean too much to them.

Belfast police officer's two children were about to get into booby-trap bomb car

A foiled attempt to murder a police officer in Northern Ireland was carried out by dissident republicans who could also have killed his family, police said.

The Belfast-based Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) constable was about to take his wife and two young children out for Sunday lunch yesterday when he checked under his car outside his house in the city and discovered a viable device.

Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton said: "If that officer had not checked under his car we would have been looking at a murder or multiple murders."

OWS Activist Arrested in NYC With Explosives/Weapons

308 Mr.Boots  Mon, Dec 31, 2012 7:03:20am

Serious stuff. I've had DVTs in both legs, one behind my left knee. Extremely painful. I ended up having necrotic flesh, due to the permanent impairment of my circulation, on my shin removed several years later.The one in my right thigh broke off numerous times and the particles went to my lungs and thankfully didn't make it to my heart.

Normal treatment these days is several days of Lovenox treatment in the hospital, and most probably Coumadin for the rest of her life, along with a compression stocking. This could have serious impact on her future ability to fly and on her possible presidential bid.

Good luck Madame Secretary.

Sound suppressors don't really make the firing of a gun silent and if you were in the next room you'd know you were hearing gunfire. But what they actually do is reduce noise levels enough to prevent hearing damage as well as reduce sound enough that if you were further away than 50 meters you wouldn't know a gun was fired unless the user fired a burst, which only full-auto weapons can do. Sound suppressors get a bad rap, but their main purpose is to reduce noice levels to prevent hearing damage.

That doesn't sound like George Washington. Here's some more BS quotes I found related to that quote:

George Washington

Perhaps the most ‘infamous’ bogus saying attributed to a Founding Father is the ‘liberty teeth’ quote alleged to have been said by George Washington. One version of this tale reads:

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon, and citizen's firearms are indelibly related.

From the moment the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable.

Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate they are in safe and sane hands.

The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference; they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.

When firearms, go all goes; we need them every hour.

Jumbling John Adams

Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion...in private self-defense.

The quote above was even mistakenly cited by the NRA-ILA in 1996, and was on the NRA's Web site until at least early 1998 (and has spread to many personal Web pages). (Original NRA page preserved here. The erroneous Adams quote appears near the bottom of the page.)

Less common, and worse:

Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private self defense.

The correct quote:

To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws.
---John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of the United States 475 (1787-1788)

As David Hardy explains, "Adams was thus mindful of the uses of arms (i.e., legitimate self-defense and militia duty) and concerned about misuse for mob action or anarchy." (The Second Amendment and the Historiography of the Bill of Rights, 1987)

It’s amazing how easily some here are captured by the devil that is liberalism. They see what has taken place in the last 5 years, and see nothing. The Arab spring did nothing but take down quasi allies, and replaced them with islamist that want our deaths. We see our embassies attacked and ambassador killed without raising a finger, no instead they ordered those that could help to STAND DOWN. Those two brave special forces men were killed by mortar fire when the over head drones were ordered to STAND DOWN even though the two were marking the targets with lasers. The lasers allowed the mortars to find them and they died. Treason? Stupidity? or politics? You liberals are all alike deaths mean nothing to you, no only your agenda.

A few new details...

Residents were roused by the police at around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and relocated while police executed a search warrant. Gliedman, who is pregnant, is also charged with four counts of felony grand larceny for credit card theft that police say occurred in February of this year, and a warrant squad was making the arrest when they noticed "a white powdery substance" in a plastic container in the living room.

Looks like police just got lucky and stumbled across the explosives and weapons.

A lot of folks are saying that the high frame rate makes the movie "too sharp" and reveals things to be "plasticy and fake looking." I guess the complaint is that you lose the softer textures from 24 frames that helped to hide make-up and prop trickery.

The Post reports that Greene "attended Harvard as an undergraduate and did his graduate work at the university’s Kennedy School of Government" and has "five prior run-ins with the police, with the charges including, assault, and weapons possession."

I think this style they're promoting these days has anger as it's goal not honesty. They've convinced themselves that anger is an advantage, if they can keep people angry enough they'll win an election.

Deliberately lying to create anger in a political context is an odd echo of what the Islamists do - though I always thought their goal wasn't just power but keeping people angry enough for war, sectarian violence or even genocide, because Jihad.

Nope. Politics of Fear go way back in history. Probably first page in the playbook of retaining power. Make the followers *fear* something else and keep that fear whipped up. That makes them more easy to control and point at desired targets while distracting from what you are doing on the side for enrichment of your person or sub-set of the tribe.

Obama was listed by 30% of those polled. Hillary Clinton was listed by 21% of those polled.

Barack Obama's closest competitor was Nelson Mandela at 3%. The Pope had only 2%.

The rightwing haters apparently aren't being very effective at spreading their hate.
