Its 9:30AM on a mid-September day, and the heat is just too unbearable for Hillary Clinton. This lady mocks people who question her health too. Hey, she can open a jar of pickles though. She clearly is in no condition to be President and should do what is best for the country and drop out of the race. Of course she wont, because she has never done what is best for the country.
If she wanted the best for America she would drop out of the race and endose Sanders BUT she is selfish for herself and may not survive the bruising schedule. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37332106
Let me just tell you a couple of things: A. The phrase is "the JIG is up" not "the gig is up" B. I have read at least 2000 charts of people with Pneumonia and there is no such diagnosis as "walking pneumonia" quoted in the BBC article. The patient may have pneumonia and not be bed-ridden but "walking pneumonia" is not a diagnoses found in the ICD... or any other classification system. http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/J00-J99/J09-J18/J18- Some people (people who went to medical school before 1920) sometimes use the phrase "walking pneumonia" for Mycoplasma Pneumonia (a disease primarily of children). http://www.webmd.com/lung/walking-pneumonia C. 68 is too old be elected president. So is 70 (the Donald is 70). People in this age range tend to get pneumonia and a list of other things. Both parties have done a disservice to the country in nominating these two. Clinton is frail...Trump has the beginnings of dementia http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/F01-F99/F01-F09/F03-/F03.90 The population may be aging but that is no reason to nominate two old codgers whose best years are behind them. My wife (a physician) is Hillary's age and she just put in her retirement notification. It's just too hard for her to see 20 patients a day.
Just a heads-up. In the late '80s I had changed jobs and almost from day one I had a persistent dry cough pretty much whenever I tried to talk. It didn't seem to get worse, but it didn't go away. I might have been a bit weakened, and maybe a bit tired from all the coughing (a great ab workout, eh?), but I was able to get by. After about 2-3 weeks or so I had enough and went to see a doctor. She diagnosed me with ambulatory pneumonia ("walking pneumonia" in lay parlance), which the doctor said I probably contracted when someone coughed on me. It's still pneumonia, but sufficiently mild and not debilitating enough for people to normally seek immediate treatment. She prescribed antibiotics and after a day or two, I started to feel better, well before the prescription ran out. Of course, I was only 30 at the time, so maybe my relative youth had something to do with a very quick recovery. I say this for two reasons. First, it exists, because I had it. Second, when I read about Clinton's persistent cough, I was toying with the idea of e-mailing them through their website about what she night have had, based on my own personal experience. But I figured she was already being well looked after, and that it was probably something else.
And did you talk to the disease you had and did it say to you "I am walking pneumonia". You had a pneumonia and your doctor said it was "ambulatory Pneumonia". That doesn't mean it 'exists'. It means your doctor, like Hillary's, hasn't seen fit to make a more definitive diagnosis. Ambulatory or walking pneumonia is not a proper diagnosis. It does not occur in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and thus is not recognized as a diagnosis by the WHO. Walking Pneumonia is a colloquialism which is not a proper diagnosis. e.g. you cannot report it to third party payers as "walking Pneumonia" as it will be rejected and you will not be paid for it. You must report the disease as a valid code. You could report it as Pneumonia-organism unspecified J-18.9 in the ICD (International Classification of Diseases). As I said above it is not a valid diagnosis today and it was not a valid diagnosis when you "Had it"
So one can have an infection, not feel well for a while, then it gets bad, and then get prescribed antibiotics and be cured. Yes, it would be better if she were younger. She is still one of the most qualified, knowledgable candidates for president ever. And her VP is not a blithering global warming denying idiot like Pence.
I can't speak beyond the point that she diagnosed me in this manner, prescribed antibiotics, and I quickly got better upon taking them. The antibiotics did the trick, whatever you wish to call the condition, the principal symptom of which was a persistent dry cough pretty much whenever I tried to speak -- a condition that lasted for a few weeks. I offer nothing other than my own personal experience in this post and in my previous one. I don't have a medical background.
What you fail to understand futurescurrents is that Hillary has been sick for a long time. You act as if this is something new. You have been lied to and you won't admit it. Anyone who questioned her health months ago was a misogynistic conspiracy nut. Her health has been an issue for a long time yet you act as if this is something new?
You sound like a Hillary supporter whistling past the graveyard. Whatever her many medical issues, it is now unmistakable just how poor her heath is. Forget anything and everything else if you like. Maybe it just is all a vast right wing conspiracy. This medical issue is not! What must be addressed and admitted is that democrats are now voting for a Tim Kaine presidency. I'm not even arguing whether he'd be a good or bad president, but having Hillary on top of the ticket? That is now a charade.
