Presidential Election - the Ultimate Jury Trial

I recently received and watched a 16.6 minute YouTube video featuring Dr. Ted Noel, the former director of NovaMed Surgery Center in Orlando, Fla.


Dr. Noel states up front that he is not Hillary Clinton's medical doctor, has not examined her, and that he is not a Hillary Clinton supporter. Based on videos of Hillary Clinton since 2005, he concludes that she suffers from Parkinson's Disease, and for that reason, that she is unfit to serve as president.


Snopes writes to debunk what Dr. Noel has said; they could be correct. But watch Dr. Noel's video yourself: You judge: youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1IDQ2V1eM



Hillary Clinton is 68 years of age. In her Sept. 26 debate with Donald Trump she looked healthy. She evidenced none of the problems shown in Dr. Noel's video. Her own doctor, who treated her after the 9/11 incident, states that her stumble/collapse into the limo on that date was caused by pneumonia.


But Hillary Clinton's health is not just a private matter. She wants to be our president. Mrs. Clinton correctly argues that the American people need to see Mr. Trump's tax returns. Given the history of Mrs. Clinton's health issues detailed in Dr. Noel's video, full disclosure of Mrs. Clinton's medical records from and after her fall in 2005 is as much or more important as disclosure of Mr. Trump's tax returns.


The bottom line is this: Every American has a right to draw his own conclusions as to Mrs. Clinton's physical ability to execute the office of the presidency. Those conclusions can be reasonable conclusions, only if the voters have all the relevant facts; not merely those Mrs. Clinton chooses to dribble out.


Jurors in civil and criminal cases are "judges of the facts." They make the ultimate medical conclusions, e.g., "diagnoses," every day in our courts. Observable facts of the plaintiff's condition are set before them: e.g., Mr. Jones fell, was hospitalized; had no history of seizures before the fall, and has seizured since, etc. The doctors ("expert witnesses") give their opinions as to those facts. (Note: those doctors need not be the "treating physician." They can be any doctor whose training or experience enables him to assist the jurors in their determination.) But in the end, it is the "12 plumbers" who decide if the plaintiff seizures and why the plaintiff seizures. And the nature and extent of plaintiff's disability.


When It comes to electing a president, the voters are the "jurors." It is the duty of the candidates to make full disclosure of their falls, stumbles, collapses, strokes, blood clots, periods of convalescence and disability, etc. Once they do, the "experts" can voice their opinions. But the ultimate decision on the candidates mental and physical fitness is for the voters.


Dr. Noel's video documents Mrs. Clinton falling on three different occasions, beginning in 2005; the worst/last occurred in December 2012 when she suffered a concussion, followed by a blood clot. It took her six months to recover. A still photo shows her having great difficulty climbing six typical porch steps. Another shows staff having to assist her as she attempts to enter the back seat of a limo. More recently, on Sept. 11, 2016, she stumbled/collapsed again. Other videos have emerged showing her suffering prolonged coughing spasms. She travels with a physician at her side.


The above events were all photographed or caught on tape. They cannot be denied. But were there others? If so, how serious were they?



Hillary has previously told the FBI that after her 2012 fall/concussion she had memory loss, a blood clot and could only work part-time. Why?


In January 2013, Huma Abedin, Hillary's closest adviser, wrote in an email that Hillary is "often confused." Julian Assange ("Wikileaks") has released emails in which Mrs. Clinton directed her staff to research drugs to treat Parkinson's. Why?


It is critically important that Hillary Clinton be examined by a group of impartial doctors -- not including her own personal doctor. Donald Trump should do the same.


Being president is the most grueling job in the world. Every military recruit gets a physical; why not the commander-in-chief?


(Note: In a longer 31.5 minute video interview (at: youtube.com/watch?v=8XtIzH9HoC8), Dr. Noel lists numerous symptoms on which he bases his medical conclusions.)
