Will the summary of trump*'s physical be authored by the physician or the White House?

And can trump* invoke the HIPAA act and refuse to release any information on his actual physical/psychological condition? (Hopefully even a cursory psych eval is part of the exam. I'm thinking it should be.)

I might be terminally cynical, now, but I anticipate another 'Dr. Feel Good' type report being released, regardless of what the exam may reveal.

And I'm thinking this might be one of the few actual properly conducted exams he's had in years.

From your post, it looks like he has one assigned to him? I am sure there is no psych eval and pretty sure they sugar coat what they give to the public.

He also looked after President Obama. I looked up some info on him. Unless there are 2 Ronny Jackson, MD, at Bethesda, he is an Emergency Medicine doctor - so he would also have been board certified in Internal Medicine, at one time, if not still. Some doctors drop their initial specialty boards and just continue to renew their primary specialty board.

hands at 11:10, remember three words, etc. In other words, give him a test for dementia and cognitive abilities.

Is there a test for compassion?

When drumpf goes down I hope his doctor is charged with malpractice, loses his license, and eventually does some jail time. Essentially lying about a persons health and letting them write their own health report is malpractice and his dishonesty during the campaign contributed to this whole mess.
