Hillary Clinton hospitalized after doctors discover blood clot - CNN.com

Quote:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized Sunday after doctors discovered a blood clot during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman said.

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."

Reines did not specify where the clot was discovered.

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

Clinton spent the holidays with her family last week after working from home.

God bless her and her family and doctors. Help them to help her heal.

The behind ends are coming out in force on the news sites and blogs. I hope we don't succumb to that here.
I think our group is above that at a time like this.

Whether you personally like her or not it is decent of you to wish her well. .

The behind ends? Oh, I am slow sometimes. Our group is above that? I hope so.

It's been pretty gnarly here lately.

It's New Year's Eve, Mrs. Clinton has only 21 more days as Secretary of State, I think her staff can "run the world" without forcing her back to work, and we will be fine. She has done a Hercules-type job for the past four years - time to retire and rest (if that is possibly in that always political family). Best wishes for a very speedy recovery, whether as SOS or President, she has proved she could have handled the job of POTUS, and is now a world figure, very respected, with a Henry Kissinger-like reputation. Well done, time to retire.....stan

I also send along my best wishes for a very speedy recovery and a more restful new year.
