Media want second opinion after Trump's near-perfect medical assessment
by Eddie Scarry | Jan 17, 2018, 3:12 PM

Members of the press are still questioning President Trump’s physical and mental fitness, even after the official White House doctor who has treated Trump gave him a near-perfect bill of health, including on his cognitive ability.

Dr. Ronny Jackson, the president's physician and a Navy rear admiral, said in a press briefing Tuesday that the president’s “overall health is excellent,” that there’s “no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues,” and that Trump “continues to enjoy the significant long-term cardiac and overall health benefits that come from a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”

Still, reporters and commentators weren’t fully ready to accept the findings.

Media can ask and be told very publicly to POUND SAND.

I don't think we ever got a believable health-report of Clinton or Obama.

I would actually enjoy seeing this:

It's too bad they aren't this curious or concerned about the mental state of some of the 70-80 year old Dinosaurs we have roaming the halls of Congress.

Pipe dream fantasy - but I like the sentiment:

Well, we're also still waiting on Obama's health records and college transcripts.

We're still waiting for the results of Issa's various 'investigations' too.

Don't worry. Issa says he will find all the smoking guns to the various investigations while he is packing up to move to the new district. Says their misfiled in his fining cabinets.

Trump's cardiac assessment-Heart exam normal. Regular rhythm. No murmurs or other abnormal heart sounds noted. ECG with normal sinus rhythm, rate of 71, normal axis, and no other significant findings. Transthoracic Echocardiogram demonstrated normal LV systolic function, EF 60-65%, normal LV chamber size and wall thickness, no wall motion abnormalities. RV normal, atria grossly normal, all valves normal. Exercise Stress Echocardiogram demonstrated above average exercise capacity based on age and sex, and normal heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output response to exercise. No evidence of ischemia noted and wall motion was normal in all images.

If Sanjay Gupta obtained and revealed medical information protected by HIPAA, he broke the law. So, Trump had a calcium score test done, according to Gupta, who did not state the score which would be an even more egregious violation of HIPAA. I doubt Trump has a problematic calcium score given the information from his current cardiac assessment which was released to the public with his permission by his doctor.

I think they did mention something about his drinking too much.

But that was probably just throwing a bone to distract from all the other drugs he does.
