Clinton's clot located between brain and skull, doctors say
(CNN) - Hillary Clinton's doctors said Monday that the secretary of state's blood clot is located "between the brain and the skull behind the right ear."
Clinton remained hospitalized Monday at New York Presbyterian Hospital for a clot that was discovered during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman said.
Read the full statement from her doctors:
"In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed that a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed. This is a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners. She will be released once the medication dose has been established. In all other aspects of her recovery, the Secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits, engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff."– Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University

Wonder if FOX and NBC will offer public apologies now?
"between the brain and the skull." Did we really need a doctor to tell us this, been pretty obvious for years
More Copver Up for Bengazi!
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Get well soon.
Wish you a quick recovery Clibnton.....be my president in 2016 !!!!
so she should be fit enough to go tell more lies in front of congress about benghazi gate???
Mrs. Clinton: we are very thankful that you had and have a great doctor who follow up on your care.we wish you the best of health and may the Lord be with you, and God speed.
OMG...Please get well ma'am and Godspeed to you.
Well, I think she should have dumped Billy boy when she had a chance-I would have respected her more but still wish her a complete and speedy recovery. I can't imagine she has had the greatest married life with him and his shenanigans.Why do women put up with such??? Go figure.
she is lucky it did not move. shes a good person. she and her husband bill like 'we the people' and help to protect us from tyranny local or foreign.
Don't you know its a vast conspiracy between the US medical system, the liberal media, and the white house they are all in bed making this up just so she doesn't testify.
Riiiight
I am sure this clot effects the part of the brain used for short term memory. Once she is released, she won't be able to remember anything that as happened in the past 6 months or so. And a doctor will verifiy this.
we are praying for you and wishing you a quick recovery.
Dear Secretary Clinton,
I hope you have a speedy recovery. We are going to need you in 2016...
Some of these comments are so dumb!
well I guess that proves that she has a brain..... who would've guessed?
If all you Gopers got is Benghazi we'll be happy to have that conversation after the Bush Adm tells us why over 3,000 Americans were killed on American soil under his watch but of course their deaths don't matter to you. Until then get well Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
We need you Hillary! Get better quickly and keep giving the President your best advice.
Dear Secretary Clinton-
Our prayers are with you and your family, we wish you a fast recovery. Your health is priority.
Thank you for all you do and we look forward to having you back when your better.
All the best,

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, Mrs Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton: You and I don't see eye to eye on many things, but I am praying for you and your family and wish you good health and happiness for many years to come!
another lie from the queen of liars. shrillary will do whatever it takes not to testify about benghazi and will do whatever it takes to maintain a position in 2016. I do not believe a word of it.
one person's opinion
I wonder if this was a result of her fall that gave her a concussion? I'm very thankful they found it before it could cause a stroke or worse ...
Start taking two baby aspirin every day, Madam Secretary, and good wishes for a speedy and full recovery!

Get well, Secretary Clinton. Pay absolutely no attention to the right wing droolers.
