Has Clark had a recent physical exam?
Edited on Thu Jan-08-04 08:14 PM by liberalnurse
I was watching Hardball and seen a few clips of Clark....He looks gaunt and his color looks pasty-tan.....Is he ill or on medication for an illness?
What is his health history anyways? I know he has been shot....Any chronic disease process going on?

He could of picked something up during his Army days......This is a sincere question. I would not flame when it comes to an illness.

Look at clips the next time....What do you think?

4. Please continue.....
I don't think he looks gross....but I sense an underlying illness. His color is poor. I'd like to see him up close. It would be nice to know he has had a recent physical, including labs.

22. Then why not share your concerns privately with the Clark campaign
if you're so concerned?

Oh... then you wouldn't be able to make a baseless smear here.

Disgusting.

I'm disappointed in you Dookus. The good General could be ill and you make fun of the situation.

10. I have been a nurse a long time.
It got my attention before I listened to the message he was speaking of during the clip. I do this at the mall too....Its second nature to recognize illness.

23. and also
second nature to make baseless accusations about somebody's health on a public message board?

I think using your supposed professional standing to smear somebody by making baseless accusations about his health in a public forum is probably something they might've covered in nursing school. Were you out that day?

6. disgusting thread
Perhaps I should create a thread asking if Dean's hemmorhoids are the cause of his anger?

Or maybe whether his herpes is acting up?

Or maybe whether his liver damage from his drinking days makes him grumpy.

Shame on you.

14. He looks that way because he is incredibly fit
When I swim during the summer I look that way. Marathoners look like that. You are too used to seeing overweight Americans. Perhaps he should eat more..Freedom Fries????

16. I hope that is the case. Again....
I would like to see him up close. Does anyone know when he is comming near Ohio to speak? It's always good to assess all the candidates anyways, from a political standpoint...not a nurse view. He just looks bad in the clips. It will be a re-run tonight I think....

Oh, has he had a physical exam? No one seems to know this yet.

35. Yes, I have seen him in person
and he does not look "ill"
I am not flaming you and to a degree I see what you are saying.
On television he does look somewhat thin and gaunt.
In person Clark looked very fit. I have no idea what the man does for exercise but I am guessing that he is a runner.

I am serious -- I was at a house party recently with both.

Edited on Thu Jan-08-04 08:49 PM by liberalnurse
I think anyways........No one has mentioned any chronic illness to date. There was this beloved doctor I worked with once...He did physican file reviews for a company I worked for....He had the same look. Three years later he died.....I can't remember what it was he actually died from ...some obscure cancer.....I know they had trouble with radon in their home.......He died in 1999.....

21. I once had a friend
who had a grimace like Dean.

He had the clap - it hurt him to urinate.

Does anybody know if Dean has had a full STD checkup? I'd hate think somebody with untreated syphilis could sit in the White House.

Your assertion is no better than this one, liberalnurse. It's not only beneath DU'ers, it's beneath anyone who claims to work as a healthcare professional.

27. Please take the time to look for yourself.
He does not look healthy.......Has he had a physical exam with labs lately? Sometimes macho guys discount their health and rationalize their symptoms. I hope this is not the case for General Clark. I'm concerned.

62. and I'm very concerned
about Dr. Dean, as well as his wife.

Untreated syphilus is a very nasty condition, and it could explain some of his bizarre behavior.

As I recall, syphilus was pretty common back in the late-sixties, early seventies when Dean was off skiing. He could've picked it up then.

I sure hope it's not true, because I'd hate to think of him being sick. But maybe I should post a thread just to see if anybody else knows if Dean is suffering from untreated syphilus.

20. Perhaps he's just campaigning really hard to catch up?
Edited on Thu Jan-08-04 08:45 PM by Ilsa
He might be missing some sleep or not eating as well as he could on the campaign trail. Perhaps he picked up a flu bug or virus and isn't talking about it. He said he regrets developing a raspy voice from all the loud public speaking, but recognizes there isn't much he can do about that unless a microphone is available.

I think the tv makeup for the interviews makes him look a little pasty. He looks quite fit to me. I hope I look that good at 59.

My concerns are real. I shall contact the Clark Campaign to share my concerns. I have a duty you see. Dookus offered or shall I say suggested I do that very thing. I hope he sends me a contact link.

31. Better to contact
Howard Dean and find out if he approves of this kind of ridiculous smear. I suspect he does, but it would be nice to know for sure.

And I really doubt you don't know how to get in touch with any of the campaigns.

But if you figure it out, please write to Dr. Dean and convey my concerns that he's got untreated syphilus.
