As someone who knows he'll be on Coumadin in the future, is being on a blood thinner some kind of big deal I don't know about?
There are newer drugs that are better than Warfarin/,Coumadin AKA rat poison.
As someone who was on blood thinners (Plavix/aspirin), yes being on blood thinners is a big deal. (post cardiac stent placement)
Dr. Drew voiced concerns because it sounded like there is interactions with the other medications Hillary is taking, and it looks like he lost his CNN gig over it.
Trump takes an aspirin a day, too, Chongo, which implies he also has heart issues/blood pressure issues?
Could be. I also take an aspirin a day. I say we have all candidate examined (including a full body cavity search for good measure) by a board of doctors and have the results published on the web.
Huma Abedin is separating from her husband Anthony Weiner in the wake of his latest sexting scandal.
The Clinton campaign manager released a statement on Monday morning just hours after the New York Post reported that Weiner had been sending lewd texts to another woman behind her back, marking the third time he had been caught in the act in the past five years.
What a stellar judge of others character. No wonder she's a Hillary Supporter. THREE TIMES NOW??? Thats NOTHING compared to Bills affairs. Hillary didn't separate.

Huma, should Hillary win,is most likely to be named chief of staff.

Good to know rat poison is still widely prescribed by doctors. Do you think you're smarter than her doctors, then?
and penicillin is bread mold. It's odd what we discover.
Meanwhile, in the early 1930s, Karl Paul Link, at the University of Wisconsin, identified dicumarol as a component of spoiled sweet clover, the ingestion of which caused a bleeding disease in cattle, described earlier by F.W. Shofield and L.M. Roderick. Coincidentally, the basis for understanding the action of warfarin was established in the late 1920s, when the Danish scientist Henrik Dam discovered vitamin K (“koagulation”), the absence of which caused a hemorrhagic disease in chicks. The diseased chicks and cattle had deficient plasma levels of prothrombin and, as subsequently shown, of the other vitamin K–dependent factors (factors VII, IX, and X) as well. In 1939, Link, searching for a better rat poison, synthesized dicumarol and a series of congeners and assigned the patents to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. He called the most potent of the congeners “warfarin,” a name derived from the organization's initials. Warfarin, introduced as a rat poison in 1948, was thought to be unsafe for human use; its first clinical use was reported only in 1955, after an unsuccessful suicide attempt suggested its relative lack of toxicity in humans. By 1999, warfarin was the 11th most frequently prescribed drug in the United States.
Coumarins (4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives) are used as rodenticides for controlling rats and mice in residential, industrial, and agricultural areas. Warfarin is both odorless and tasteless, and is effective when mixed with food bait, because the rodents will return to the bait and continue to feed over a period of days until a lethal dose is accumulated (considered to be 1 mg/kg/day over about six days). It may also be mixed with talc and used as a tracking powder, which accumulates on the animal's skin and fur, and is subsequently consumed during grooming. The LD50 is 50–500 mg/kg. The IDLH value is 100 mg/m3 (warfarin; various species).[72]
The use of warfarin itself as a rat poison is now declining, because many rat populations have developed resistance to it, and poisons of considerably greater potency are now available. Other 4-hydroxycoumarins used as rodenticides include coumatetralyl and brodifacoum, which is sometimes referred to as "super-warfarin", because it is more potent, longer-acting, and effective even in rat and mouse populations that are resistant to warfarin. Unlike warfarin, which is readily excreted, newer anticoagulant poisons also accumulate in the liver and kidneys after ingestion.[73] However, such rodenticides may also accumulate in birds of prey and other animals that eat the poisoned rodents or baits.[74]

In 2011, the State Department cleared an enormous arms deal: Led by Boeing, a consortium of American defense contractors would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns over the kingdom's troublesome human rights record. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Saudi Arabia had contributed $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, and just two months before the jet deal was finalized, Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to an International Business Times investigation released Tuesday.
The Saudi transaction is just one example of nations and companies that had donated to the Clinton Foundation seeing an increase in arms deals while Hillary Clinton oversaw the State Department. IBT found that between October 2010 and September 2012, State approved $165 billion in commercial arms sales to 20 nations that had donated to the foundation, plus another $151 billion worth of Pentagon-brokered arms deals to 16 of those countries—a 143 percent increase over the same time frame under the Bush Administration. The sales boosted the military power of authoritarian regimes such as Qatar, Algeria, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, which, like Saudi Arabia, had been criticized by the department for human rights abuses.
It's interesting that the strategy against HRC seems to be to focus on email and her allegedly having head trauma, whereas against Obama there was a much wider ranging palette of assault. I'm also surprised that ties to the Clinton foundation isn't a regular part of the rotation.

All this garbage about her health has stemmed from a single photo of someone helping her up some steps as far as I can tell. If anything they are using everything they possibly can do bitch about HRC, but all they have is Emails! and Crooked!
Thats it. So they've clutched at the next thing they could find any traction for whatsoever. In a week or two someone will see that she's wearing a pair of Nikes and then she'll be to blame for all the sweatshops in India, or she'll be seen smiling near a Mercedes and then we won't stop hearing about how she's in a socialist femiNazi book club with Angela Merkel and Theresa May. And Justin Trudeau sometimes attends dressed as a Mountie and gives them all lap dances.
You heard it here first.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
...and chocolate is dog poison. I guess you think Hillary (and a lot of other Americans) have dumb doctors now?
You need to talk to Dr Pinsky. He's the one questioning her treatment with outdated drugs. He stated there are newer anticoagulants. I was on Plavix for over year and required no monitoring, Coumadin does. BasKosh posted that Obama's doctor has called for Hillary to undergo neurological testing.
they may be newer, but the studies don't show that they are more effective. I can dig around for a more recent study, but IANAD. Dr. Pinsky and Hillary's doctor could have a chat though.
Oral anticoagulation therapy is the standard for preventing stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Aspirin, the alternative for warfarin-ineligible AF patients, is less effective than warfarin for stroke prevention (JAMA 2002; 288:2441). In a new, industry-sponsored trial, researchers randomized 6706 AF patients (mean age, 70; 66% men) with at least one stroke risk factor to receive dual antiplatelet therapy — clopidogrel (75 mg/day) plus aspirin (75–100 mg/day) — or oral anticoagulation therapy, usually warfarin (target INR, 2–3). Baseline use of other medications (ACE inhibitors in 54%, ARBs in 15%, beta-blockers in 57%, digoxin in 37%, and statins in 38%) was similar in the two groups. The primary endpoint was the first incident stroke, non-CNS systemic embolism, MI, or vascular death.
The study was stopped early, at a median follow-up of 1.3 years, because oral anticoagulation was clearly better than clopidogrel plus aspirin, as shown by annual incidences of the primary endpoint (3.9% vs. 5.6%; P<0.0003) and any stroke (1.4% vs. 2.4%; P<0.001). Major bleeding incidence was similar in the two groups (2.2%–2.4%), but oral anticoagulation was associated with significantly more hemorrhagic strokes (0.36% vs. 0.12%) and fewer minor bleeds (11.5% vs. 13.6%).
Comment
The efficacy of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy was disappointing in this trial, as was the on-treatment incidence of major bleeding. Although the findings are limited by lower-than-expected rates of events overall and of stroke specifically, warfarin remains the gold standard for preventing stroke in AF patients at increased risk for embolic events. Still, the search for safer options must continue.
Huma, should Hillary win,is most likely to be named chief of staff.
Yeah, I thought about that after the recent Weiner debacle, but then, there's Hillary herself...

I'm questioning you because you're eating it up. Don't try to pawn me off onto him just because you can't backup his claims you've adopted.
I heard they also prescribed leeches, bloodlettings, and a few holes drilled into her head (aka. trepanning), just for good measure. Very progressive. I hope they also checked her menstrual blood and astrology chart, because it might be a case of female hysteria and she needs to have her womb massaged.
Trigger warning!

I don't need to "pawn you off" on Dr Drew. You don't like the fact that there are doctors who are part of the vast alt-left wing conspiracy who have broken ranks and dare to question Hillary's health. Obama's own doctor expressed concern. Obama's former doctor: Clinton should have neurological exam | TheHill
During an interview on CNN, Dr. David Scheiner argued that Clinton’s note from her doctor isn’t enough. The letter details that Clinton had follow-up testing in 2013 that showed a full recovery from a concussion and that she tested negative for clotting disorders.
“I think she should have had a neurological examination, a thorough neurological examination in 2016,” Scheiner said Tuesday night. “We know what happens to football players who have had concussions, how they begin to lose some of their cognitive ability. I think both of them should release their records.”
How many press conferences are typical for a typical candidate? How many did Bush Sr. have, or Carter?
Not sure it's relevant. She's still in the news. Trump for all his media bashing, loves to talk about himself.
Do you think Hillary really wants to answer 100's of questions about possible perjury charges, Clinton Foundation pay for play emails etc? Then there's the chance she'll have another "cold chai brain freeze" when she's simultaneously peppered with questions and camera flashes.
As an aside, they usually try to light press conferences so flashes aren't needed.
I know someone who worked in DC back in the day, and he said the President must be lit to something ridiculous like 300 foot candles. That's really well lit.
This is the type of stuff ... like Hillary's private email server ... that I call a self-inflicted wound. Do they simply not have any aides around them that say "You know what boss? I'm not saying this is 'illegal' ... but it's just not a good look. You really ought to reconsider." Or do they just ignore prudent advice like that?
I want to know why some people let the notion pass of the Iraq war being justified because it was based on the best intelligence that Bush had at the time, yet do not let Hillary pass on the advice she received about her emailing?
I'm not excusing her, but is there a big fundamental difference here?

She's a Democrat, they're supposed to follow the rules and not do stupid things because they're supposed to be smart. Republicans are allowed expected to be dumb, lying, hypocrite assholes. Thats what they do.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
Democrats fixate over 932040294 things that Trump has said and done similar to how Republicans tried 239283094 things to see what would take down Obama, whereas Republicans have an autistic-like focus on a few special interests of theirs involving Clinton (email, Benghazi, her concussion) that they just keep coming back to.
What's sad is that we aren't talking about what we have done to get a Trump as a nominee, and the bigger picture of alleged corruption that seems systemic in our political system. The latter is a much bigger picture issue than just email documents.
