Biden's annual physical exam

[Jazzy]

Joe Biden's annual physical exam revealed no signs of trouble, according to his doctor, who said that this year's check-up "identified no new concerns."

According to his updated health summary, Biden is currently undergoing treatment for multiple "stable" medical conditions that include non-valvular atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, seasonal allergies, sensory peripheral neuropathy of both feet, and his gait, which "remains stiff" but has not worsened in recent years.

"He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations," Dr. Kevin O'Connor wrote in a letter on Wednesday afternoon, which was reviewed for accuracy and approved by physicians in the White House Medical Unit.

Perhaps he is medically fit but did they do a comprehensive neurological, and cognitive test? I don't think they are being completely honest where the mind is concerned.

What are your thoughts about his physical exam findings?

I'm with you, he's not getting the full tests that are needed for his position. Something is wrong with the guy.

Any minimally observant person can tell that his neurological faculties are not what they need to be in order to be President of the United States. The primary issue is that people will still vote for him because they see an impaired geriatric as the better candidate than the person they see as embodying most forms of hate. Our political system has failed us.

Doesn't look like a cognitive test was performed. Mentally he is not fit for the job and I also question whether he is physically fit.

If the report said "there are no new concerns" that doesn't rule out the possibility of a longstanding concern.

That said if he "continues to be fit for duty" perhaps he is fit to face the music in the case recently not pursued because he was an elderly man with poor recall?

We don't seem to have any good options this year. Biden is too old and really so is Trump

Could be. However, much of the thinking of the average person who doesn't follow politics closely is formed by the media...and the media feed those people a never-ending stream of wildly biased opinions and false information.

I place zero significance in these "exams." The politician chooses his own physician. There's nothing objective about them - whether of a Republican or Democrat.

I agree. This is all just for show.

That makes sense to me.
