Why Hillary Clinton is medically unfit for office!

 The presidency is a very demanding job both mentally and physically. As a physician and cardiologist, I will speculate as to why Hillary Clinton is unfit to be our president.

 First of all, Doctors speculate based on incomplete information every day. It is what we have done during our residency and what we do every day in practice. Based on bits of information, we determine a differential diagnosis and order tests in order to confirm our suspicions and diagnosis.

 Second, we know that Hillary Clinton has hypothyroidism, as well as three prior blood clotting episodes. Two of which are due to a deep vein thrombosis and one due to a transverse sinus thrombosis. She also had a concussion which (according to statements from her husband and Hillary's own statements to the FBI) resulted in her inability to concentrate or recall facts for many months. The majority of concussions recover within a week. We have been told that she is on a medication for her allergies, a medication for hypothyroidism, and Coumadin, a blood thinner, reportedly because of her recurrent thrombosis. Most specialists, however, do not treat venous thrombosis for more than one year. Therefore, it is likely that she has a clotting disorder that causes her to be on lifelong blood thinners.

 Third, the episode of her collapse at the 9/11 ceremony was inconsistent with a cardiac type of collapse, also known as syncope. Usually, cardiac collapse happens instantaneously or with a few seconds warning. She was taken away from the crowds with someone supporting her arm for many minutes prior to the collapse. Together, with the types of movements before her collapse that we can see on the video, suggest a neurological cause to her collapse. It cannot be explained by dehydration or heat intolerance alone.

 Fourth, this neurological cause to her collapse is due to an autonomic nervous system dysfunction. These types of collapses can occur at any time and are unpredictable. After seeing all the videos of her campaign over the last year; any doctor can speculate that a disease such as Parkinson's could explain all of these events. Parkinson's disease or the medications that treat Parkinson's could explain her head bobbing motion, unsteadiness and fixed stares on several occasions. It would also explain her lack of focus and concentration during her speeches. She has had to have someone prompt her when she gets off target in her speech or when she forgets what she is talking about.

 Fifth, the combination of her syncopal episodes, collapsing episodes, and her blood clotting disorder requiring her to be on Coumadin, as well as her autonomic nervous system disorder, together disqualify her to be president of the United States. If she gets a call at 3 AM, she may collapse as she gets out of bed, fall and then bleed, causing her to be incapacitated and unable to fulfill her duties as president and commander-in-chief. Just like a cardiologist who cannot allow a pilot to fly a plane if he fails a nuclear stress test, a physician would not allow someone with a tendency to collapse and who is on an anti-coagulation such as Coumadin, along with an autonomic nervous system disorder to qualify for the job of presidency of the United States.

 Her disability is permanent and not temporary and the public-US citizen needs to know this before they go to the voting booth this November.

 Lastly, this does not even cover her major illness which is addiction and her drug of choice is power. Nothing will stop her from trying to achieve the presidency even knowingly deceiving the American people.
