We have seen the video and watched the doctor connect the dots. But these comments by Karl Denninger are thoughtful, and they buttress what we already know: HRC is unfit to drive a car--let alone run the largest business in the world. What the democrats are doing in covering this up and in seeking to put her behind the wheel is nothing less than criminal.
And Here You Go: Hillary & Parkinsons; HRC is Unfit
Here we go folks..... medical analysis by a claimed actual MD who happens to have experience with this disease. Note: He claims to be an anesthesiologist and a trivial search does find record of him and his board certification. He is not a neurologist, but nonetheless, it does appear that he's not just a random dude on the Internet with a webcam.
So let's put this guy's claims up against the "explanations" of the Clinton campaign and instead of playing credentials let's just use basic logic.
Ever had a serious infection? Like pneumonia? How do you "recover" nearly-completely in less than two hours after suffering what is clearly a public event of catatonia and near-complete collapse?
You don't.
But what if you have a neurological deficit that is serious, progressive but able to be -- sometimes -- controlled with medication and only produces visible deficit sometimes?
Then you could have such a "collapse" and yet an hour later be visibly "fine."
But that's not pneumonia, nor is it severe dehydration and heat intolerance. Indeed, if you were believed to actually be suffering from heatstroke and severe dehydration to a degree sufficient to cause you to collapse, especially if you had been diagnosed a few days earlier with pneumonia (which I remind you is a compromise of the lungs and thus your ability to exchange oxygen and CO2) it would quite-arguably be attempted manslaughter to fail to take you directly to the nearest ER. Hillary was not taken to ANY ER; she was taken to Chelsea's apartment. The only rational explanation for that is that her detail and staff knew she was neither dehydrated or suffering heat exhaustion and thus was at no risk of imminent respiratory collapse.
This of course means that they lied to the media (and you, the voters) -- again.
Were a neurological deficit that person suffered to be temporary due to an injury or similar then it would not necessarily be disqualifying for a public office -- including that of President.
But Parkinsons is not temporary, it is a chronic, permanent once contracted and progressively destructive neurological condition that cannot be controlled on a long-term or permanent basis.
The drug used to control Parkinsons, in addition, has serious long-term side effects and loses effectiveness over time.
But the most-serious aspect of a neurological disorder like Parksinsons is that the sufferer has no real control over when and where they will suffer the deficits it brings. This was on display on 9/11 at the memorial; certainly Hillary would not choose such a moment to suffer the outward evidence of a neurological deficit, as that particular moment in time would be one where such a deficit would effectively end her campaign, and she knows it.
Yet that is exactly what happened anyway, when she had full knowledge in advance of the risk and thus would choose to medicate to the best of her ability to mitigate the potential for harm.
Despite this, she failed.
Unfortunately a President, in the discharge of their office, gets no such warning. Serious world events happen without warning and without notice. A President must be available on a neurological basis without prior warning, 24 hours a day in order to be able to discharge the responsibilities of the office. To be unfit for this need is a per-se disqualifying condition for the office of President or, for that matter, any other office or responsibility where public safety is involved -- such as the "mere" and ordinary task of driving a car!
Hillary Clinton appears to be incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle, say much less discharging the office of President. She has demonstrated same repeatedly on the campaign trail where she has had full warning and notice of potentially adverse and stressful events prior to them happening and yet despite this functional and factual warning in each and every case she has been unable to medicate herself, with medical advice and attendance, to mitigate the deficits she has and avoid its public display, including her recent all-on collapse on 9/11 in NYC.
Hillary Clinton is unfit to be President of the United States, or, for that matter, to hold any public or other office where performance is required on a no-notice basis because even with full notice and warning she is unable to manage her condition and remain neurologically intact and unimpaired during the time required, even with the best medical attention that our current level of technology can offer.
It's that simple folks, and this has exactly nothing to do with your political preference.
It has to do with the responsibilities of the office and you cannot vote for someone who has proved through multiple episodes during the campaign that they are incapable of discharging same.
Does the Hillary campaign have a duty to respond to this? IMHO, yes. Specifically, I'd like to see an explanation and exploration of the truth of any such explanation of the email chain disclosed by Wikileaks in which she receives information on the drug Provigil, which is often used off-label for Parkinsons. |
