Hillary Clinton\’s health issues are drastically worse thanshe has revealed publicly – and the potential presidential candidate tried tokeep her medical information private for fear that it would damage her bid forthe White House in 2016, according to a new book.
The 66-year-oldformer secretary of state has suffered more fainting spells than publiclyknown, is prone to have blood clots, and may be at serious risk of a stroke,according to the book, “Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas,” by EdwardKlein.
Themedical scare that forced Clinton to be rushed to New York-PresbyterianHospital on Dec. 30, 2013, revealed how serious the situation is.
“She has to becarefully monitored for the rest of her life,” doctors warned former PresidentBill Clinton before Hillary was released from the hospital, according to thebook.
The book claimsHillary was taken to New YorkPresbyterian after a fainting spell andconcussion that she suffered in her seventh-floor office at the StateDepartment – not at her home, as claimed.
Hillary wasinitially treated at a State Department facility and was transferred to herhome to recover. Bill Clinton, however, insisted Hillary be flown to New YorkCity and be treated by specialists there, Klein claims.
During her visit tothe Manhattan hospital, the presumed 2016 Democratic front-runner was diagnosedwith several problems, including the clots.
Hillary had a righttransverse venous thrombosis, or a blood clot, between her brain and skull.
“The unique thingabout clotting in the brain is that it could have transformed into a stroke,” acardiac specialist with knowledge of Hillary\’s condition says in the book.
