Why Did Clinton’s Aides Not Call an Ambulance During her “Medical Episode?”

FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WHOSE ETIOLOGY IS ALREADY KNOWN?

(Sep. 11, 2016) — On Sunday morning, Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton left a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early, stumbled and appeared to faint while being assisted into a security-detail van.  However, her aides do not appear to have called an ambulance or taken her to a hospital.

Rather, she was reportedly taken to her daughter Chelsea’s Manhattan apartment and was afterward seen waving to the public on the sidewalk outside before entering another black van.  When asked by an observer if she was “feeling better,” she smilingly assured the questioner that she was, “thank you.”

When another observer asked, “What happened?” she responded with, “It’s a beautiful day in New York” with a big smile.

Consequently, #HillaryHealth, #MedicalEpisode, and #ClintonCollapse are trending on Twitter, while The Washington Post reported that contrary to deniers just last week, “Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign.”

But why did aides not call an ambulance and have Clinton examined at a hospital?  Is the explanation that they already are aware of what caused her to collapse as part of an undisclosed medical condition?

Speculation has abounded that Clinton is not in good health and perhaps is suffering from Parkinson’s disease or another neurological condition.  In recent weeks, a retired anesthesiologist has reported in a series of videos and radio interviews at Vidzette.com that he is convinced that Clinton has had Parkinson’s for at least a decade and that her relatively frequent falls since 2005 are a manifestation of the malady.

“Parkinson’s disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine. Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait. After diagnosis, treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure,” reports WebMD.

According to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, “postural instability” described as “problems with standing or walking, or impaired balance and coordination” is a typical symptom of Parkinson’s.  The foundation is careful to state that “Some symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are hard for even specialists to detect. Others are obvious even to an untrained eye. And Parkinson’s symptoms are different for different patients. Many patients experience some symptoms and not others, and the pace at which the disease worsens varies on an individual basis. Keep in mind that only a doctor can make a Parkinson’s diagnosis and that any one symptom of Parkinson’s could be caused by other conditions. Visit a movement disorders specialist if you think you may be experiencing Parkinson’s symptoms.”

A photo of Clinton which appears to have been taken today shows arguably noticeable changes in her facial appearance.

Another photo which appears to have been taken and posted by Mike Cernovich on Twitter prior to the medical episode shows her customary attendant behind her who may or may not be a Secret Service agent.

Clinton reportedly waited for “two or more minutes” for her motorcade to arrive, once summoned, as her departure from the ceremony was unexpected at that time.

An explanation for Clinton’s early departure from the 9/11 memorial event was that she felt “overheated.”

Last week, NBC News was excoriated by a Clinton campaign staffer and former Obama speechwriter for highlighting Clinton’s extended coughing episode during a campaign speech.

Lifescript.com outlines five stages of Parkinson’s disease.  The Parkinson’s Institute and Clinical Center reports that “non-motor symptoms” of the disease include “weakened throat muscles, causing problems with swallowing, choking, drooling, and voice changes.”
