In case anyone's wondering, She's already isn't returning for the next term. The next term's Sec. of State will be Sen. John Kerry (Yes, that John Kerry that ran against Bush in 2004). It's actually very common that the Presidential Cabinet changes A few Secretaries for 2 term presidents.

Blood clots are not good ..... the location of Hillary's is, AFAIK, not specified - but they can move around the body, anyway ..... :(

I think it has to be the head, they've said the blood clot is related to her concussion that she got earlier.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is making "excellent progress" after a blood clot was found between her brain and skull, doctors say.

They said she will make a full recovery and will be released from hospital once a blood-thinning dosage has been set.

Mrs Clinton, 65, was admitted to a New York hospital on Sunday, having suffered a concussion earlier in the month when she fainted and fell over.

She is due to stand down before President Obama begins his second term.

Doctors said an MRI scan on Sunday had revealed the formation of a "right transverse sinus venous thrombosis" - a clot in the vein behind Mrs Clinton's right ear in the space between the brain and the skull.

"It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage," said Dr Lisa Bardack and Dr Gigi El-Bayoumi, who were treating Mrs Clinton at New York's Presbyterian hospital.

The secretary of state was said to be in good spirits and "engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff," added the doctors in a statement.

It seems that the clot is under control ..... :idc:

When I first heard the story that Hilary was in hospital with a blood clot, I thought they were referring to Bill in a Rasta stylie.

Hope she's okay, I've got a lot of respect for her.

I hope she recovers soon, in my opinion she has been a really good Secretary of State for the USA.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been discharged from hospital after treatment on a blood clot between her skull and brain.

Her medical team said she was making good progress, and were confident she would make a full recovery, said the state department.

It added in a statement that she was "eager to get back to the office".

Mrs Clinton was earlier seen leaving New York-Presbyterian Hospital with her husband and daughter.

I fear running and winning the Presidency in 2016 is now a fast disappearing option due to her now "suspect " health.
