Dr Milton Wolf on Hillary's health:
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Key fact in #HillarysHealth: She suffered cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (brain blood clots). Only ~half of these patients fully recover.
That was back in 2012.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Sinus thrombosis (brain blood clots) is a big, big deal. Significant risk of morbidity/mortality. Strokes, seizures, etc. #HillarysHealth
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Vast majority of sinus thrombosis caused by hypercoagulable states.We know this is #HillarysHealth case because she's on long-term Coumadin.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
We know #HillaryHealth has had residual/recurrent neurological deficits: vision, balance, memory. So we know she didn't fully recover.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
KEY FACT: We know about sinus thrombosis (of SSS) causes strokes in 75% and intracranial hemorrhage in 60% of patients.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
We also know that #HillarysHealth include lasting neurological deficits: at least including vision, balance, and memory disturbances.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
ANOTHER KEY FACT: #HillarysHealth requires long-term Coumadin blood thinner. This is a big, big deal … particularly for a fall-risk patient.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Coumadin is a dangerous drug and NEVER prescribed to normal, healthy patients. Never. It has a significant risk of bleeding.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
There are newer, safer blood thinners than Coumadin. We know one was tried on #HillarysHealth but failed so they went to the big guns.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Coumadin is a powerful, dangerous drug. Originally developed as a rat poison. Saves lives but at substantial risk. #HillarysHealth
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Risks of Coumadin are profound: Spontaneous hemorrhage (intracranial and elsewhere) is very real and relatively common.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
Risks of untreated hypercoagulable states also profound: Blood clotting causing stroke, heart attack, pulmonary emboli etc.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
#HillarysHealth doctors determined risk of Coumadin in fall-risk patient is lower than the risk of her suffering more thrombosis. Both high.
Dr. Milton Wolf @MiltonWolfMD
These are difficult decisions, to choose between two bad options, each with substantial risk of morbidity and mortality. #HillarysHealth
