In a statement to FactCheck.org, Hillary's physician says reports of her ill health are FAKE.

http://www.factcheck.org/2016/08/fake-clinton-medical-records/

Despite the fact that Hillary Clinton got a clean bill of health from her doctor, fake medical records for Clinton are circulating on some conservative websites, purporting to show that she suffers from seizures and dementia.

Clinton’s longtime physician — whose name appears atop the alleged “leaked” documents — released a statement to FactCheck.org calling the documents “false,” and reiterating her diagnosis that Clinton is “in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States.”

The fake records are making the rounds just as some in the conservative media have been baselessly questioning Clinton’s health. Among them was Fox News’ Sean Hannity, who played a tape of Clinton vigorously shaking her head in a manner he deemed “seizure-esque” (although neither of the medical experts on his program agreed).

Here is the statement to FactCheck.org by Dr. Lisa Bardack, Hillary's personal physician:

Bardack, Aug. 16: As Secretary Clinton’s long time physician, I released a medical statement during the campaign indicating that she is in excellent health. I have recently been made aware of allegedly “leaked” medical documents regarding Secretary Clinton with my name on them. These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts. To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, Secretary Clinton is in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States.

2. The only way repugs can win is by lying.

Fake documents, fake stories, fake witnesses, fake videos. They know that their ass-licking followers will believe whatever they say, even after all evidence shows fakery.

We now have to deal with "healthers". Swiftboaters, birthers, and now this. Will it never stop?

9. I know! She's not a tall woman. Where do they think she could have put that extra 103 pounds?

Once again, she's basically super woman, able to hide 103 extra pounds under a long jacket.

Better yet I hope Fox / Hannity finds themselves with egg all over their face and all lies are exposed .

I laughed out loud when I heard the seizure reference ( I have epilepsy ) then closed eyes and shook head in disbelief ....... I guess they don' t even know what seizure looks like , wonder if they even know if there are many different forms , variations , lengths etc . They are fools on Fox .

Glad he wrote what he did . The medical misinformation does have to get cleared up , after I laughed and shook my head I was angry also with all the falsehoods / lies . Seizures are not something you make light of or smear on someone .

I think Don needs to release more than he has ..... he sure looks bloated in the face ......
