Hillary Clinton Fractures Elbow; Needs Surgery


June 18, 2009

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fell today fracturing her right elbow. She visited hospital, was X-rayed to check the damage and will undergo surgery in the coming week.

Her chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement, “On the way to the White House late this afternoon, Secretary Clinton fell and suffered a right elbow fracture. She was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before heading home.”

Clinton and U.S. special envoy coordinator of policy on Alfghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke were going to a White House meeting on June 17, when she fell in the basement garage of the State Department at about 5 pm while walking to her car.

The State Department has not made a decision whether Clinton will attend a Group of Eight foreign ministers meeting next week in Trieste, Italy and a meeting of top envoys from NATO countries and Russia scheduled afterward in Corfu, Greece.

Isn't this 2008 Time Magaine cover interesting? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are facial "harmonists" - meaning their facial proportions line-up. There is an interesting book on this topic by Suzi Malin called Love at First Sight.
