It’s not clear whether the fall that led to Clinton’s concussion caused the clot — or if clot led to the fall — but Boulos said it’s rare for head trauma to trigger problems like these.
The more likely culprit, he said, is a genetic predisposition, perhaps combined with dehydration from the flu. Clinton told The News in 2007 that she was diagnosed with a clot behind her right knee in 1998.
Dr. Eugene Flamm, chairman of the neurological surgery department at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, said blood thinners are usually effective in dealing with such clots and most patients make full recoveries. He didn’t expect Clinton to face restrictions on air travel or other activities that could affect her possible 2016 White House run. Read more: www.nydailynews.com...

I was stating my opinion that if that is the video of her fall, I don't think it could have caused a concussion. I cannot find a definite statement of where she fell and sustained the injury, only that she was resting at home SINCE the fall.
Do you know she definitely fell at home? Where you there?
A spokesman for Clinton, Philippe Reines, said the secretary of state came down with a stomach virus last weekend. "While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion," he said. "She has been recovering at home and will continue to be monitored regularly by her doctors," Reines said in a statement.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to recover from a concussion she suffered after falling early last week in her Washington, D.C., home. She was alone at the time she passed out and her concussion was not diagnosed until days later. The concussion was not severe, her doctors said, reports and was due to dehydration suffered after a trip the former first lady took to Europe, NBC News.

Please quote where I ever stated some grand conspiracy.
I still don't believe she suffered a concussion.

She came,
She clotted,
She croaked? (We can but hope! )
Unfortunately I don't think diplomatic sickness is fatal very often.

You can't even prove a concussion, just what might be evidence of one.....they suspect my daughter has one from her car accident in June and it could take a year to recover. But there is no actual proof you can see or touch. There wouldn't be anything to conspire on except a statement.
"Hillary fell, she has a concussion"......then the news media picks up on it and repeats and repeats.
I believe someone or her was stalling and now they found this clot.
But please tell me, do you always just believe whatever you are told?
Why is it when those arguing the biggest stretches of conspiracies resort to arguing the negative...
Shows you have no real evidence

Did you just say you hope she dies? If so, you're pretty much an evil person.

This thread is about the fact that there may not actually be a bloodclot......please follow along.
Nobody is saying someone gave her a bloodclot.
We are saying it may be more stall tactics so she can get out of testifying. Holy cow.
What a GD CRY BABY! Get over it and move on! You've been here on ATS for four months and am dictating what people should/should not say? Get over yourself!

I may severely dislike people, but I would NEVER wish anyone dead or ill.
Mods - can something be done here?edit on 31-12-2012 by Charmeine because: (no reason given)
I alerted the mods as soon as I saw the post. Absolutely ridiculous. So many people wishing she would be dead on this thread that it really makes me sad. I thought ATS would have nice people, apparently many of them are not.
