White House physician shares details of Trump’s ‘unusual’ medical exam after months of health concerns

The president’s health is regularly discussed on the social media

Donald Trump’s health has been questioned yet again after something strange was noticed this week.

Trump’s health has been the talk of social media ever since a ‘large bruise’ on his hand was spotted, in spite of his team seemingly attempting to cover up the mark with what looked like a bit too much foundation.

Trump was also recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), sparking health concerns.

CVI is a condition which happens when the veins in your leg become damaged and no longer work as they should.

Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, revealed that Trump attended Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 10 for his yearly check-up.

“On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops,” Leavitt said.

 

“While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House. President Trump is considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter.”

Still, CNN noted that Trump visited Walter Reed in April in what the White House described as his ‘annual physical examination’ at the time too.

This would be seen his second ‘annual’ examination, which was seen to be a little strange.

But as per an expert, it’s not that odd.

“It is rare, but not unheard of, for the president to have more than one annual check-up without a specific medical cause,” Jacob Appel, a professor at the Icahn School of Medicine and presidential health historian, said to McClatchy News.

Trump’s summary from his April exam revealed his weight, body mass index, surgeries, mental health screenings, cholesterol levels and blood pressure information.

For his examination yesterday, he was deemed to be in ‘exceptional health’ by his physician.

“President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance,” Navy Captain Sean Barbabella wrote in a memo which was released by the White House yesterday evening.

It claimed that Trump also got his yearly flu shot, and a Covid-19 booster vaccine.

Also, the captain alleged that Trump’s cardiac age was found to be around 14 years younger than his chronological age.

When people became fixated on the annual exam being done twice in one year, the president claimed it was a ‘semiannual physical’.

Prior to his checkup, the Miami Herald reported him saying: “I think I’m in great shape, but I’ll let you know…Is there wood around here? I’ll knock on it.”

Ever the one to talk about how fit and healthy he is, he also used his time with the navy to boast about his previous health exams.

According to him, his former White House doctor said he was in the best health of all the presidents.

At a speech given to Navy sailors just last week, Trump claimed doctor Ronny Jackson said he’s in ‘the best shape’.

Trump claimed: “He was also the doctor for Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?

“He was a doctor for a man named Bush. And at a press conference, they asked him, ‘Who’s in the best shape, who’s the healthiest, who’s the strongest, who’s the best physical specimen of the three?’ He said, ‘That’s easy. President Donald Trump!”

“And I said, ‘I love this guy!’”
