Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Toledo, 1/2/2013 4:15:42 PM

New York - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton briefly left the hospital where she is being treated for a blood clot in her head for testing on Wednesday, officials said. Mrs. Clinton was photographed leaving the hospital shortly after 3:00 p.m., but officials said she was only having tests done at another location. She was back in the hospital about an hour later. Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says Clinton had been "quite active" on the phone Wednesday with State Department aides. She says doctors will continue to monitor her progress. Clinton was admitted to a New York hospital Sunday

If she is re-admitted within 60days the Hospital will be liable for a Major Fine(Tax?) under the NEW Obamacare Laws.
Uhmmm...since she checked herself out without being released..can her insurance company now cancel her coverage?

What sort of hospital is she in that she had to leave to have tests done and then come back? I´ve never heard of such a thing. If a hospital can´t take care of your needs, they usually transfer you to a better equipped hospital and you stay there. What could she have been doing in that hour...?

#8, depends what "Russian press" means. I´m guessing it was a tabloid and Russian tabloids are no more reliable than those in other countries. I wouldn´t put too much stock in Pravda or Izvestia, either. Additionally, it was not the "EU" who released the same information, it was an EU tabloid.

There was one report that she had a hematoma, epidural or subdural, I don´t know. You don´t walk away from the hospital with that until surgery is done. Once again, the crooks are setting up the American public for something.

#14 and #21, I imagine this was a photo op since so many have been writing "where´s Bill and Chelsea?" A person can choose to leave a hospital without being checked out, but then their doctor may not give them prescriptions I´ve heard. You have free will, and a hospital isn´t a prison. Some stubborn people decide they´re ready to go home before doctors are ready to release them. The article said she went somewhere for tests. While that´s possible, I´m skeptical about that story along with all the rest.

No one seems to have read the article. She left the hospital building to go to another medical building on the hospital campus for a test.

Here you go - spoon fed:

Mrs. Clinton was photographed leaving the New York-Presbyterian Hospital building where she has been since Sunday shortly after 30 p.m., but officials said she was only having tests done at another location on the medical campus. She was back in the hospital about an hour later.

An MRI comes to mind. These are often in separate, specially constructed buildings.

Re #22, after a fall and a head bump, my late Mother suffered a subdural hematoma that caused her to have a seizure several weeks later. She did not require surgery of any kind. Was treated in hospital and eventually released. She suffered no lasting effects. And she was somewhat older than Hillary.

She may have gone to another building on campus for tests but have you ever heard of someone who was in hospital transporting themselves to have a test done and then come back? That makes no sense at all to me. U just don´t trust a word I read about her any more.

Wacky Baracky made history as the first black president of the U.S.

Hillary has a very strong drive, or will, or desire, to make history, too...
as the United States´ first lesbian president.

Amazingly, she´s had straight sex more than many lesbians do...
Webb Hubbel (as noted above, Chelsea´s DNA Dad)...
Vince Foster...
and, allegedly and almost unbelievably...
BillyBoob Klintoon... possibly...
once a year... according to Arkansas State Troopers who were there.
It´s all documented.

Today, btw, when BillyBoob Klintoon arrived at the NYC hospital and saw her face, he said...
"Better put some ice on that."

Then he turned to onlookers and witnesses and said...
"I did NOT have sex with that woman... "

If she was not released from the hospital then she would have been taken to the other building by van. It seems so unlikely that they would let her go there on her own and risk having something happen to her while she´s out walking around.Doesn´t make sense.

You have to be impressed with the stuff they want us to swallow. If the hospital has to send her elsewhere, (which i doubt) they would do so in an ambulance. SHe probably didn´t like the hospital food and they went out for a round of drinks and chow.

I was a medical student in Columbia-Presbyterian in the early 90´s. Most of the buildings are interconnected and there are sky-bridges. Hillary doesn´t really have to exit any building to get to another. It´s probably a scripted moment, one of the many for Bill & Hillary. I was there seeing the smoke billowing from the first World Trade Center from my dorm room. The Clintons are absolute fools when it comes to dealing with Islamists Imperialism.

Having just had a tumor removed from my brain, believe me you do not get up and walk anywhere if you have a clot in your brain, especially alone. First, that clot would make her unable to talk, or much else, depending on where it was. I am old and it has been almost a year since my surgery and I still have to use a cane and cannot walk well for very far.

There´s something up... Chelsea left the hospital with a look of shock & horror on her face... Then later, the photo op with the whole family smiling, as they went to the van seemed odd.

I think the air crash story is true. If you look at her body, it appears she has some sort of brace, bandage or cast on her right side, from the strange fit of her coat.

The van ride may have been just set up as a photo op, so the MSM have something to report. It must be embarrassing to be part of a state owned MSM... Can´t report anything unless spoon fed by the WH.

And reporting She´s Fine after never seeing her over 3 weeks gives the alternate media motivation to investigate, for the truth.

The weather in winter in NYC can be awful. Big NYC hospital campuses are almost always connected either by enclosed walkways, underground tunnels, or skybridges. They don´t move patients around by having them suit up in their street clothes and hoof it over to another building.

The air crash thing is intriguing, but I suspect plastic surgery, or else Hillary´s got some serious illness and they´re not admitting it.

President Obama is giving back 5% of his $400,000 salary to show solidarity with federal workers hit by the dread sequester. That’s not much of a nick to a man who has no worries about living expenses and has plenty of independent income, to boot. But, hey, symbolism counts. It’s an appropriate gesture for a debate about debt and deficits that’s shallow, thanks in no small part to Obama. The dread sequester — remember that? — went into effect one month ago, following weeks of presidential fear-mongering about the automatic cuts.

One of the ongoing perplexities of President Obama’s Syria policy has been the stark contrast between his muscular rhetoric and halting, hesitant actions. On the one hand, he has insisted that the country’s dictator Bashar al-Assad “must” go and has predicted that his fall is all but assured. But on the other, he has thus far limited himself to authorizing aid in the form of training and intelligence for Syria’s beleaguered rebels. While we’d be the last to conclude that the case for intervening in Syria is open and shut, we have argued here at Via Meadia

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce.

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal.
