adminThe latest health scare for the globe-trotting Clinton will likely keep her out of the public eye a bit longer, just as she prepares to step down after four years as America’s top diplomat.
Clinton (65), fell ill with a stomach bug on her return from a trip to Europe earlier this month that caused the former first lady to become severely dehydrated and faint, suffering a concussion.
“In the course of a follow-up exam today (yesterday), Clinton’s doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago,” her aide Philippe Reines said in a statement.
“She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at New York Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours,” he said.
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is required,” he added.
The secretary’s health prevented her from testifying on December 20 to US lawmakers about the September 11 attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. — AFP.
