I am saying:
1. Diazepam is an old drug that is used for many purposes. It is no longer the drug of choice for seizures. Google Keppra which is a new drug used for seizures which is much more specific and successful. Also realize when you google medical terminology you are getting information that is two or three years out of date, and you are getting it out of context. Google is a great tool but it is not a substitute for an education.
2. No we really don't know what is in that injector, and if it is Diazepam it does not mean she is suffering from seizures. Quite the contrary. My wife has muscle spasms in her back and she uses Diazepam for that. She definitely does not have seizures. If she HAD seizures she would definitely NOT be using Diazepam.
3. No you can NOT definitely rule out seizures... any more than you can rule them in. BTW don't use terms like 'petite mal' if you don't really know what they mean. e.g. petite mal epilepsy does NOT manifest itself in grand mal seizures. If it did it wouldn't be petite mal.
4. This entire controversy is manufactured by the right wing nut job press because they need to fill space for their right wing nut job constituency. It gives them something to say.
voting is the new cool thing to do. "Oh, we're all going to go vote!? Wow, that's what my parents use to do!" And there will be a party afterwords. Good place to meet people. Doubt you will make much headway if any girl finds out you voted against the woman.
I have seen petite mal and absence seizure used synonymously on the web.
If that is incorrect let me know.
its not a manufactured controversy. Hillary is running for president and she has made some very odd gestures. she has fallen. she has excused herself from congressional hearings for health issues. she has worn brain damage glasses.
she makes very odd gestures. She has coughing fits. she disappears for days. Her aid says she gets confused.
she has health issues.
petite mal epilepsy is largely a diagnosis of childhood. It is usually based on an EEG tracing. e.g. if a child has an EEG and the EEG is found to have certain characteristics (and the child has no history of seizures) he may be diagnosed as having "petite mal epilepsy". Often (but not always) there may be symptoms that are characterized as 'absence' i.e. staring, non-responsiveness etc. But a patient who has those exact same symptoms would never be diagnosed as having petite mal epilepsy without the EEG findings.

The EEG is something real. It is manifest. The absence etc is very subjective and will be noted when expected...real or not.
Hillary had a head injury. After the head injury she had what is termed 'post concussive syndrome'.
She spent 3 days in the hospital with this. Post concussive syndrome is common in football players from banging heads into each other .

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...nton-wear-those-glasses-after-her-concussion/
Usually there are no EEG manifestations of post concussive syndrome, and post concussive syndrome is in no way related to petite mal epilepsy.
Now you know more than Karl Rove...which isn't hard.
Hillary is acting a little goofy there but
1. that is NOT a seizure. I know...I am a physiologist and have worked with patients having seizures. That's not what it looks like at all.
2. I don't believe the video is not doctored. In fact it has been butchered as a clumsy attempt at a hatchet job.
3. Diazepam is used for a great many problems, it would NOT be the drug of choice to stop a seizure. My wife has muscle spasms in her back and sometimes uses diazepam to relax her muscle spasms.
4. I used to work for one of the great pioneers in a branch of internal medicine. He was a diabetic and I carried a syringe with glucose in it which I would use on him if he developed hypoglycemia. So what? It didn't disqualify him from anything.
This whole thing is just another distracting attempt to disqualify Hilary... in favor of whom??
Trump... the most ridiculous candidate for president to ever run?
anything to distract a person away from the fact hillary is seriously ill and hiding it.

She won't win because she has a history of head injuries. The left has been attacking the NFL and trying to educate people about the long term effects of concussions. As we all know Hillary has suffered from concussions and has many of symptoms.
This is from the CDC.
The severity of a TBI may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness, to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury.
TBI can cause a wide range of functional short- or long-term changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotions.
- Thinking (i.e., memory and reasoning);
- Sensation (i.e., touch, taste, and smell);
- Language (i.e., communication, expression, and understanding); and
- Emotion (i.e., depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out, and social inappropriateness).1
Do you want someone who may be experiencing these symptoms to have their finger on the button?
Hillary already had mental issues before her brain injury. Remember back in the 90s when she was suffering from paranoia and claimed that the whole lewinsky thing was a 'vast right wing conspiracy'.
Also remember when she claimed she went to Bosnia and had to dodge sniper fire. It later came out that the whole sniper thing never happened. She went on to claim that she 'mis-remembered' the event. It seems likely that a person with a normally functioning brain would not mis-remember whether or not they were being shot at.
There are many more incidents that show her sub-par cognitive skills. Keep in mind these incidents happened before her tramatic brain injury, and there is no telling what condition her brain is in now.
