Hillary Clinton discharged from hospital

WASHINGTONSecretary of State Hillary Clinton was discharged from a New York hospital Wednesday, after spending 72 hours under observation following the discovery of a blood clot in her head, the State Department said.

In a statement, spokesperson Philippe Reines said: "Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery. She's eager to get back to the office."

• Still in hospital, Clinton "quite active" with work/a>
• Doctors: Hillary Clinton has blood clot between brain and skull
• How serious is Hillary Clinton's condition?

Clinton and her family thanked her medical team "for the excellent care she received," Reines said.

Earlier Wednesday, Clinton had been seen in public for the first time in three weeks when she walked out of the Harkness Eye Institute in New York City and into a secure van along with a smiling Bill and Chelsea Clinton and accompanied by a security detail, reports CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan.

The State Department had said Secretary Clinton was active in speaking with staff and reviewing paperwork while she continued to recover at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Clinton was admitted to a New York hospital Sunday and was treated with blood thinners to dissolve a clot in the vein behind the right ear. Doctors found the clot during a follow-up exam stemming from a concussion she suffered in early December. She has been hospitalized for around 72 hours, which is a window of time during which it is possible to establish the proper blood thinner dosage that would be required prior to discharge according to doctors.

Clinton's doctors say there was no neurological damage.

It looks more and more likely that Joe Biden will be the 2016 nominee at age 74. And they said Reagan, McCain and Dole were too old. LOL

Give me a break, she "walked out of the hospital" gives more she fake it, anytime I had to leave a hospital it was in a wheel chair!

[ReasonableHumanBeing]

Limpy -- Let me be the first to tell you -- this is not a good use of your time. You sound ridiculous. You are embarrassing your family and friends. So let's adjust your foil hat, and move on to arguing against global warming and evolution.

so apparently she was really sick, i wonder how krauthammer is going to "tap dance" around the comments he made?

[carolhill814]

I think the hole thing was a fake because they wouldn't realize her unless or until the clot was completely clear and melted away.

This is one way not to have to face congress as to what happened to those four (4) innocent men.

It as though nothing ever happened and it did and Barry Soetoro is making sure se stays sick as long as possible.

[ccoronadoagf11]

Will she testify or not? Most likely not since the media has downplayed the deaths of our Ambassador and other state department personnel. Imaging how thing would have been different had Bush been in office! just imagine.

[carolhill814]

Everybody would yelling to the top of their lungs if Bush were in office such as cover-up but since Barry is in office not a word has been said.

[catmomtx]

You do know that there were numerous attacks on embassies and consulates during Bush's eight years and no one had an issue, no one tried to turn this into an attack on Bush or any of his administration.
