Update:
Multiple media outlets are reporting that, according to Clinton's doctors, the clot was found in her head.
CBS and the AP report that the clot is "in the vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear."
Clinton did not suffer any neurological damage or a stroke, the media outlets reported, and that she is expected to fully recover.
Update:
The State Department has posted a statement on its website confirming Clinton's hospitalization. Below is a copy of it, with quotes added:
"In the course of a follow-up exam today, Secretary Clinton's doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
"Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is required."
Original Story:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been hospitalized due to a blood clot caused by a concussion that she sustained earlier this month, multiple media outlets reported.
Clinton, a Chappaqua resident, was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital and is being treated with anti-coagulants, the Associated Press reported. According to the media reports, State Department Spokesman Philippe Reines said the clot was discovered on Sunday during a follow up medical exam following her concussion. The secretary will remain hospitalized for 48 hours, according to the AP.
Clinton suffered from the concussion earlier this month after fainting due dehydration from a stomach virus.
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7239146n football players get "real" concussions every now and then, i never heard of one being treated for post concussion blood clots. soccer player deliberately get more of an impact every time they head a ball. Hillary did not bang her head on anything. she tripped and fell because she could not see over her gut. had she hit her head to stop it while her brain continued on she would have put her hand to it. she is continuously shaking her head to get her way too long sometimes greasy hair out of her eyes means another concussion? every time. Is this activity hindering her recovery.. I would think so.flipping that huge head can't be good.I mean if there was a concussion in the first place which from the video does not look to be true. since when does a blood clot hinder your ability to testify. and sayitaintsojack is correct except that she doesn't need to tune up. it is a bad habit since Rose if not before.
Every time there's a cogent conversation taking place you barrel in with caustic comments. Here's a flash; you're NOT entertaining and you bring NOTHING to the blog that is intellectual or informative. Say hello to your Uncle or whoever monitors (YEAH SURE) the Patch.
You are not well informed at all, as you never heard anyone criticize Bush for the embassy killings that occurred during his administration.
As someone who developed blood clots in both their leg and lungs while on vacation in Florida, this a very serious and life-threatening (and quite common) complication. Just ask Mariano Rivera or Serena Williams. I wish her a speedy recovery.
Thank you for monitoring this blog. It's a great way to exchange informative and timely information but some people use it as a whipping board to express their political frustrations BOTH left & right. That's fine but it needs to be civil and I see where you REMOVED one of the culprit's comments. THANK YOU & HAPPY NEW YEAR.
However it was done, the results are the same....another Clinton escape from a political boondoggle
Ps with brain damage she cant run for president
Bottom line hilary and obama want nothing on the record and under oath,and they are doing everything and anything in their power to make it happen
A blood clot is a very serious matter, no matter how treatable it may seem. Hillary Clinton is not beyond critcism, but let's have a truce for awhile.
