Hillary Clinton hospitalized after doctors discover blood clot

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized Sunday after doctors discovered a blood clot during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman said.



She is expected to remain at New York Presbyterian Hospital for the next 48 hours so doctors can monitor her condition and treat her with anti-coagulants, said Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.

Clinton was suffering from a stomach virus earlier this month when she fainted due to dehydration, causing the concussion.
