Confusion over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s condition already has been so great as to inspire a “Where’s Hillary?” headline on the Drudge Report. After Clinton was revealed to be under treatment for a blood clot in her head, liberals lambasted those who questioned Clinton’s concussion, despite reports from medical professionals that the two conditions were likely unrelated. Then there was that stomach virus.
Headlines today that Clinton had been discharged from the hospital would seem to clear up matters.

Happy To Hear Hillary Clinton ( @hrclinton ) Has Been Discharged From The Hospital!

They would clarify things, aside from the fact that she might not have been discharged. Yes, she was spotted leaving the hospital with her husband and daughter, but that only seems to prove that she left the building. Whose tweet are you going to believe?
So Secretary Hillary Clinton has “left” the Hospital and the photos and video confirm that. But has she been “discharged” ?

Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening. Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery. She’s eager to get back to the office, and we will keep you updated on her schedule as it becomes clearer in the coming days. Both she and her family would like to express their appreciation for the excellent care she received from the doctors, nurses, and staff at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center.
