Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to make a full recovery, a spokesman said Wednesday after doctors discovered a blood clot in a vein between her skull and brain this week.
Doctors say they found the clot during a medical test related to a concussion she suffered in December. She apparently fell ill with severe stomach flu and fainted because of dehydration. That’s how the subsequent concussion occurred. The clot has not resulted in a stroke or any neurological damage.
The former first lady was released from the hospital Wednesday, but does not plan to stay on for President Barack Obama's second term.
On Wednesday night, HLN’s Dr. Drew explained that there’s a little more worth mentioning to this story. Watch the video clip above.
