I didn't say the health claims had any credence. Just that the more serious symptoms are revealed, the more conspiracy theorists will use that as evidence of a bigger problem.

But why are you so concerned about fringe conspiracy theorists that no one takes seriously out side right-wing media to begin with?

The main issues here are two-fold: This is going to take her off the campaign trial at a crucial point for a period of time, and that this doesn't get better if a relatively quick amount of time it could have a real effect. But as it stands now, it doesn't really feed into the crazies theories that Clinton is some kind of dying Mr. Burns that's only being kept alive by some miracle.

She had allergies related to her cough. Her doctor said that.

She was overheated and dehydrated. Her doctor also said that.

 

[minor effort]

Where does her recovery put her at in time for the first debate on the 26th?

A coffin.

Or, more seriously, we don't know. But I'd imagine doctors would have to physically restrain Clinton from attending the debate. She's probably been waiting for this moment for the last 8 years.

 

[perfectchaos007]

My mom seems convinced she has parkinsons. She watches a lot of conservative news so I'm sure she's just repeating what she heard on fox or her facebook friends that post conservative news.

 

[Alucrid]

Haha, what made up shit is this?

super pneumonia isn't made up

 

[Crisco]

Pneumonia? This is obviously parkinson's disease, silly gaf hive mind.

 

[inner-G]

My grandpa has Parkinson's.

Hillary doesn't have Parkinson's.

Wouldn't that be a really difficult issue to hide given the symptoms?

 

[Already Torn]

My grandpa has Parkinson's.

Hillary doesn't have Parkinson's.

They both start with P tho

 

[giga]

I had this two years ago. I tried to tough it out and go to work and I nearly fainted going down a staircase. This is totally legit what shes going through with her rigorous schedule.

How do we know you're not hiding some deeper more nefarious condition?

[radios shipping overview]

Lol finally she canceled her next upcoming event and changed her schedule according to CNN. Her judgement is troubling, but at least she's being smart now.

Is your entire world based on the Infowars/the_donald/Drudge Report framework of thought?

i am a doctor

According to reddit she does.

 

[Stinkles]

I have a theory.

I think the Trump campaign might go light on this because they don't want Trump's health being closely scrutinized. His medical letter is absolutely bizarre. Like a kid writing his own sick note in fifth grade to play hooky.

I can't believe she's too weak to continue on the campaign trail just because she has a terrible case of pneumonia. This is even worse than when she irresponsibly put the health of children and elderlies in danger by continuing on the campaign trail with pneumonia!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

My grandpa has Parkinson's.

Hillary doesn't have Parkinson's.

Yep same here. She pretty clearly doesn't have it. It's not exactly easy to hide, especially if she had it for few years.

 

[Makki]

Like everything Hillary related, they wait until the hysteria has set in to actually come out with the truth. Maybe if shit didnt keep getting covered up constantly she wouldnt look untrustworthy over the most stupidest things.

 

[High Fry Frow]

According to reddit she does.

When did Reddit become such a shithole?
Seven or eight years ago it was a really great place for progressives to talk.

Particle Physicist is an internist, I believe, a hospitalist iirc.

I'm a PA in cardiothoracic surgery.

Heh, this is really the push you needed to show your true colors, eh?

RIP Senator Clinton

I feel uncomfortable with this being said even as a joke. I get an icy sense of dread at what would happen if she died before the election. Not just because of the prospect of President Trump, but the nation's reaction to Clinton being out of the race.

 

[MIMIC]

At least this will stop posters claiming 78 is a life threatening temperature. Cleary something else caused her issues. Glad they finally came foward with the real issue.

LOL, skimming the last thread, I found that entire conversation hilarious....and a little disturbing. Just took the official response and ran with it, no matter how little sense it made.

I mean, the glee in these threads about her actually being sick is bad enough.

 

[diablos991]

It's just a fun bet. Makes the next couple months more interesting. I'm mostly in it for the told-you-so tag if I win.

If I lose then it's going to be a long year.

I wish these were fringe views. Hillary being mentally and physically unfit to run for the presidency is something many older boomers take to heart. It's turning into a generational circlejerk.

 

[PandaShake]

Politics aside, I hope she'll recover and be fine.

It's a fringe conspiracy that's only taken seriously by the far right. A lot of older boomers just happen to make up a lot of that base.

Nice, only 7 years to residency for me. Maybe Zombie hillary will still be around when i finally get to residency.

I hope against hope that you're right here. It'll be enlightening after some polling to see the actual percentages of republicans who actually think these conspiracies are true.


edit - Also, baby boomers are the second largest voting bloc, and vote in far greater numbers than the younger generation that only just passed them.

Even if she's not, at least you'll be able to appreciate diablos991's new tag.

If she had a much more serious condition, do you think her doctor would be allowed to admit it? At this point in the race?

 

[Tarkus]

Why 7? Are you doing research or MD/PhD?

 

[Lord Frieza]

MIMIC is literally someone who has had proof put in front of him, and then used that same proof to somehow use as proof that what it debunked was true. He's not someone you can truly argue with.

 

[ugaboga232]

MD/PhD. Just wanted to stay in school forever.

Hillary pulling out of California?!!

 

[Tarkus]

MD/PhD. Just wanted to stay in school forever.

Gosh, you trooper. Just don't let your bedside manner or clinical skills slip.

 

[teruterubozu]

Except her doctor confirmed she was dehydrated....

Honestly dehydration comes with being sick. It's kind of redundant. The question is whether she suffered severe dehydration.

 

[ugaboga232]

Gosh, you trooper. Just don't let your bedside manner or clinical skills slip.

It is very kind of you to assume I have either of those but there is pretty much no chance I will retain anything after 4+ years of mouse surgery. First clinical rotation is going to be a lot of fun...

There are some remedial things and a big bootcamp but I have quite a few years to worry about that.

The things I do to play around with brains.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If she had a much more serious condition, do you think her doctor would be allowed to admit it? At this point in the race?

So they go with something like pneumonia of all things instead of cold/flu/dehydration? If you're going to lie, that's a pretty unique lie to cover up something else.

 

[Blader]

If she had a much more serious condition, do you think her doctor would be allowed to admit it? At this point in the race?

No, because doctors aren't allowed to just openly talk about a patient's condition without consent.
