Related: About this forumHillary releases more medical info now dumb
ass dr on MSNBC is talking about deficiencies she could have that cause her to be prone to blood clots. He started talking about more tests that he would like to see done as a physician. Meanwhile, Trump releases some bs on a tv show and no questions asked. Hillary really screwed up her chances when she went out against doctors orders. Before it was conspiracy theories but now they have that damn video...😡

(3,635 posts)and H and her team should call out the media for it in order to shut down all of this wild speculation now that she has provided them with a detailed medical report. The media now is basically wanting a whole bunch of tests for hypothetical illnesses while Trump who is older and in worse physical shape doesn't get asked for anything.
And many past male candidates had issues (after all most of these people who run for president are on the older side) and it was never played up like this. St. Ronnie was shot and had alzheimer's symptoms, HW Bush had thyroid issues, Cheney had multiple heart operations.
Granted, the media does care about health issues, iirc they did make an issue of age/health with Dole and McCain (who were old in contrast to younger and vibrant challengers). There were rumors about Dukakis seeing a psychatrist, which was a rightwing "bedwetting liberal" meme that the mainstream media ran with.
But there is clearly a layer of sexism on top of the typical ageism/ableism stuff.

(35,295 posts)I had two blood clots in my leg 9 and 10 years ago. They found I have a condition called Factor 5 Laden that makes your blood clot too fast. Because of that I have taken blood thinner for 10 years. Maybe she has the same condition? I was told it is genetic and the only treatment is blood thinners.

(35,295 posts)I have a filter that is supposed to help prevent a leg clot from traveling to the brain or lung.
A clot in the brain is much more serious than one in the leg.
