John R. Coppedge, a surgeon from Texas, writing in The Hill, has the best speculation I have seen on what is physically wrong with Hillary Clinton:
Hillary Clinton exhibited abnormal eye movements during her recent speech in Philadelphia and they were not photoshopped.
Her eyes did not always move in the same direction at the same time. It appears that she has a problem with her left sixth cranial nerve. That nerve serves only one function and that is to make the lateral rectus muscle contract. That muscle turns the eye in the direction away from the midline.
It comes out of the base of the brain and runs along the floor of the skull, immediately beneath the brain before coursing upward to the eye. Dysfunction of that muscle causes the striking picture of the eyes not aiming in the same direction and causes the patient to suffer double vision.
Like all things medical, there is a long list of potential causes but in my opinion the most likely one, based on Clinton’s known medical history is an intermittent lateral rectus palsy caused by damage to or pressure on her sixth cranial nerve.
It is known that she suffered a traumatic brain injury in late 2012 when she fell and struck her head. What is also known is that she was diagnosed with a transverse sinus thrombosis — blood clot in the major vein at the base of the brain. Almost all patients with a transverse sinus thrombosis suffer swelling of the brain and increased intracranial pressure. Most have headaches, balance issues and visual disturbances — all of which Clinton was reported to have following that event.
Clinton’s physician reported that she was placed on Coumadin (a blood thinner) to dissolve the blood clot. Actually, that is incorrect, because Coumadin has no effect on an existing clot. It serves only to decrease the chance of further clotting occurring Clinton’s physician has also reported that on follow up exam, the clot had resolved. That is surprising since the majority of such clots do not dissolve. The way it was documented that the clot had resolved has not been reported.
If, as is statistically likely, Clinton’s transverse sinus is still blocked, she would still have increased pressure and swelling and decreased blood flow to her brain. That swelling would place pressure on the exposed portion of the sixth cranial nerve at the base of her brain, explaining the apparent lateral rectus palsy. And such a deficit can be partial and/or intermittent.
Additionally, when patients who have decreased intracranial blood flow becoming volume depleted (dehydrated) or have a drop in blood pressure loss of consciousness can occur. That could explain her witnessed collapse in New York City on 9/11.
Go here to read the rest. If almost all the media were not on a campaign to convince the American people that Trump is the second coming of Hitler, we would doubtless know more about the fact that Hillary Clinton is obviously unwell, a pertinent inquiry one would think before putting someone in charge of the nation. However, for most of the media the goal is not to uncover news about Clinton, but to do their best to conceal such news.
Monday night I’m not watching the NFL game.
.
I’m not watching “The Big Bang Theory.”
.
I’m DVR-ing the debate so I can serially watch Hillary’s 19th nervous breakdown.
.
I’ll be watching an episode of the “World Poker Tour.”
.
Keep deplorable my friends.
months ago someone on this blog suggested (was it me?) that they were going to run in Joe Bien after Hillary proved unelectable. He would be harder to defeat, but he is just as wrong as she is.
Gosh I hate it when my typo turns “Biden” into “good”.
Como esta Joe? Bien.
I cannot imagine watching the debates. If something bad happens, I’ll hear about it I’m sure. The VP debate could be interesting.
This debate may hold more pathological interest by the medical profession than for it’s political content to the general public.
With a blood clot on the brain and her hand on the red button to detonate a nuclear bomb, Hillary Clinotn is scary.
And THIS is why I just don’t care anymore. I’m on the fantail smoking a cigar and the band has just struck up Near My God to Thee. No matter what I say or do or think at this point, the deck is tilting, and the the ship, having lost buoyancy is a good approximation of a brick.
Is Bear having an Ann Barnhardt moment?
“So here’s a little I TOLD YOU SO post. Remember how I have been screeching in my nasally, twangy shrieking harpy voice for YEARS that all of these elections are 100% fake racketeering operations designed to bleed money from gullible people in the form of “political donations” (this is the small money – donations of $1000 and under), and from the so-called “donor class”, who fully understand that they are buying into a “pay-to-play” system?”
Bear, I hear you. I could say I feel the same except for resignedly smoking a cigar as the band plays (Nearer My God To Thee). I would throw that cigar into the water. Those things will kill you.
I don’t bother with the debates.
Michael Dowd’s comment at 9:21am is priceless! Agreed.. wholeheartedly.
Revelation 13 – the Beast (or is that the Hildebeast?) with the head wound. Just speculating, folks. Am probably wrong.
.
1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. 4 Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
“If almost all the media were not on a campaign to convince the American people that Trump is the second coming of Hitler…” exactly correct! And they would use the same hate filled smear tactics if the Republican nominee had been a man as likable as Huckabee. When Soviet leaders would drop into declining health (some of them like a rock), the Soviet press would conceal the poor health of said leaders. Hmmmm. Communism does not like competition.
Cranial nerve damage? Nonsense – it’s too much exposure to Earth’s atmosphere.
