(24,841 posts)Falling is a human thing to do. I don't like that as an attack strategy. ( in case anyone thought that taking someone down when they are vulnerable is acceptable )

(24,841 posts)She is a liar and part of the elite club that she claims to be fighting. Those are just two of the dozens of reasons why I just can't abide her.
I don't blame people for noticing that she fell but making an issue about her being able to lead because she can't do steps is a bad preceident.
This weirdly just came across my Facebook feed.

(41,132 posts)It could have been due to a riser or a low object that wasn't seen and maybe related to tiredness or vision, but doesn't necessarily connect to falling and fainting from stomach flu IMO. I've noticed that when walking and climbing lately especially around crowds she's more careful, slower and less agile than previously. At the start of an MSNBC Town Hall event, host Rachel Maddow assisted her coming up the one level rise to the stage.
After falling, caution and prevention of mishaps is normal, common sense. Many people know this like a friend who had a bad fall, broke her pelvis and had mobility problems for a good while even after rehab therapy including a support walker. It took time but she recovered well, has no further difficulties and gets around fine now. Only in her 50s which matters, she was lucky.

Clinton had been suffering from a stomach virus at the time,
according to a statement on Saturday from Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.
She is being monitored by doctors and is recovering at home.

(41,132 posts)a while back that she had. While working she blacked out, hit her head on her desk and injured her cheek bone. Arianna attributed it to her super hectic schedule with the new HuffPo publication then, long hours, lack of sleep and running around taking her daughter to prospective colleges. Basically burning it at both ends as Bill said. After that experience Arianna said she makes sure to get plenty of sleep which they talked about and takes better care. Interesting discussion and she was lucky the incident wasn't more serious.
