Clinton Admitted!

United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has been admitted into a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month. According to her spokes man Philippe Reines,  Mrs Clinton's doctors discovered the clot while performing a follow-up examination. 


Mrs Clinton, 65, fell and suffered a concussion while at home alone in mid-December, 2012, as she recovered from a stomach virus that left her severely dehydrated. The concussion was diagnosed on December 13, 2012, and Mrs Clinton was forced to cancel a trip to North Africa and the Middle East that had been planned for the following week. 

According to medical experts,  a clot in a lung or the brain is more serious. Lung clots, called Pulmonary embolisms, can be deadly, and a clot in the brain can cause a stroke.

Keeping Mrs Clinton in the hospital for a few days could allow doctors to perform more tests to determine why the clot formed, and to rule out a heart problem or other condition that may have led to it.
