Hillary has three known instances of blood clotting, or thrombosis. The first was a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in her right leg in 1998. Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition that occurs when a clump of blood forms into a gelatinous, solid state in a vein deep inside the body. She told the White House physician that she was too busy and refused hospitalization, so was treated as an outpatient at Bethesda Naval Hospital. She later described the clot as her "scariest moment."
