| − | Dr. Drew had consulted with Dr. Robert Huizenga, an internist-pulmonologist, and evaluated the medical record she released. She had two episodes of deep venous thrombosis (blood clots in the leg). She also has hypothyroidism (thyroid isn't producing enough). She’d been treated with Armour Thyroid, "something that we used to use back in the ’60s", Dr. Drew and Huizenga both remarked, “Hmmm, that’s weird.” Then in response to the anticoagulent Coumadin, Dr. Drew observed, "That’s weird, because Coumadin really isn’t even used anymore. Now we use Eliquis or Xarelto, things like this. Certainly the presidential candidate would get one of the newer anti-coagulates." | + | Dr. Drew had consulted with Dr. Robert Huizenga, an internist-pulmonologist, and evaluated the medical record she released.

| | Dr. Bardick, who pronounced Hillary in "excellent physical condition" in the same public release made the diagnosis of Transverse Sinus Thrombosis, an exceedingly rare clot in the collecting system for the cerebral spinal fluid. Dr Drew remarked, it "guarantees that somebody has something wrong with their coagulation system." Dr. Drew went on to explain how the hypothyroid treatment, Armour Thyroid, may be the "very medicine causing this problem, and they’re using an old-fashioned medicine to treat it. What is going on with her health care? It’s bizarre." | | Dr. Bardick, who pronounced Hillary in "excellent physical condition" in the same public release made the diagnosis of Transverse Sinus Thrombosis, an exceedingly rare clot in the collecting system for the cerebral spinal fluid.
