Hillary Clinton diagnosed with pneumonia
Two Secret Service agents come to her aid and, according to the Times, close-up images seem to show Clinton’s feet dragging as the agents lift her into the van. Clinton was a USA senator for NY at the time of the attacks. “I would have to think it would have been, so something is going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail, and we’ll be seeing her at the debate”. She was put on anitbiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule.
While the former secretary of state later emerged from her daughter’s nearby apartment, saying she was “feeling great”, the episode focused attention on Clinton’s health with eight weeks remaining in a contentious election in which Republican rival Donald Trump has sought to sow doubt about her health and fitness to serve.
Bardack said Clinton had an examination at her home in Chappaqua after the incident, which was a result of dehydration and overheating.
Those concerns are now unavoidable, made real by Clinton’s abrupt departure Sunday from a 9/11 anniversary ceremony and a video showing the Democratic nominee staggering and eventually slumping forward before being held up by three people as she was helped into a van.
“While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated. It’s a lovely day in NY”.
A security official told the Guardian that Clinton had walked from the ceremony without support, got into a vehicle and was away.

Her schedule modification comes in the heat of a tightening race in the home stretch.
But any loss of valuable days on the campaign trail could juxtapose poorly against an aggressively campaigning Trump.
Trump – who also attended the 9/11 ceremony – was uncharacteristically silent on Twitter about Clinton’s illness, as both took a break from formal campaigning to mark the somber day.
Questions have been raised about Hillary Clinton’s health after she was filmed being carried into her vehicle.
The internet is awash with claims that she may have a brain tumor, Parkinson’s or dementia.
Political strategists said the campaign should confront the health issue head-on to tamp down any concerns, particularly as Republican rival Donald Trump and some of his high-profile supporters have repeatedly argued that she lacked the “stamina” to battle adversaries overseas.
The root of the claims lies in 2012, when Clinton was nearing the end of her State Department tenure. She later received the all-clear.
Bardack released a statement in July 2015 that said beyond taking blood thinners, Clinton is in “excellent” health.
A Monday coughing spell by Clinton prompted renewed questions about whether she is physically fit for the job.
