I wonder.

yeah... why doesn't he release his now?

Oh... you meant only Bernie... well, why don't ALL the candidates release their health records now?

Yes, they all should... but in Bernie's case, it's a bit more urgent. He's the only one who's had a heart attack and "fainting" or "trip and fall" episode where he lost his balance in the hotel bathroom... eventually having stents inserted to open up his clogged arteries.

The sooner people know the truth, the better... for everyone... but especially for Bernie (considering what we now know) and considering that we still don't know everything there is to know. I think the American voters deserve to know the truth.

Actually, all I'm saying is, if this had been done sooner, perhaps it would have made him aware and he wouldn't have even had the heart attack or dizzy spell in the first place. You can't outrun or hide from poor health forever, eventually it catches up with you.

It reminds me of something my dentist has on a sign in his office. It says: "Be true to your teeth, or they'll be false to you." Which is just a clever way of reminding people that if they don't take care of themselves, and if they're not HONEST about their health problems, it always has a way of coming back to cause problems later on.

Voting starts on February 3rd.

Hmm, I don't believe Joe has committed to releasing his health records before January 1st now that I think about it.

He just said he would do it "before voting starts"...

Again, they all should release their records as far ahead as possible to give voters time to digest the information.

....recently had a myocardial infarction.

of brain aneurysms and lord knows what else...

All the candidates should release all their health records before the year's end to give voters a chance to adequately process the information.

There is no excuse not to.

...he's been spry and healthy ever since. No secrets there. But even the surgeon who performed the procedure on Biden way back then says he's better now than he was decades ago.

He also suffered (and still does, to a degree) from severe stuttering, which he overcame too.

He's five or six years older than me, I wish I was as healthy as he is.

A poster raised concerned that Bernie might be, so it seems appropriate to ask, especially after Joe's bloody eye episode.

They say blood thinners can cause that.

There's a sense of urgency around that candidate's health... we deserve to know the truth. Does he have afib and is that the true cause of his dizzy spell (fainting spell) when he "tripped" in the hotel bathroom. Is he on blood thinners? What are his chances of having a stroke? How clogged are his arteries if he needed stents inserted? What else might be lurking that we haven't been told about?

American voters deserve to know the TRUTH about anyone they're considering voting for.

Politicians often cover up health issues.

And in fact, Politician's doctors often down play or out right lie about their candidates health issues.

We all remember Trump's doctor telling us how great his gene's were. lol

That is why EVERYONE should release their health records before the first of the year, so they can be validated.

So far, Biden is refusing to do that... he only says he will release his "before voting starts"

edit: Warren has not committed OFFICIALLY to releasing her medical records this year either. She Absolutely needs to do that too!

... see, the thing is... POTUS is a very stressful job and it ages even the most fit and vigorous men by 25 years before their term is complete. Seriously, just do the math. In addition to the stress, there are the sleepless nights, travel and jet-lag, and always being "on call". I'm looking to support a candidate who is still fit and who can withstand the mental and physical challenges... body, mind and soul... that come with the job of being the Leader of the Free-World.

Information has been flowing slowly... and I can tell you that these types of things don't "just happen" for no reason. This is just the first thing we're being told about. I can't help but wonder what else is going on internally whenever someone has a "surprise" heart attack. I think the American voters deserve to know the truth... the whole story (about every candidate, I mean, of course.)

Isn't it?



I mean the sooner the better, right?

edit: Warren has not committed OFFICIALLY to releasing her medical records this year either. She Absolutely needs to do that too!

It would only be "strange" if he had a heart attack, a dizzy-spell, clogged arteries and stents, and if he needed to "cut back" his campaigning to avoid stress. That's the part that's most relevant. If a candidate isn't healthy enough to withstand the rigors of campaigning, then there's no way that he (or she) will do well as POTUS.

Hmmm. How many Presidents of Presidential candidates have had two brain surgeries?

Oh, "recently"... I missed that.

But, sometimes, don't repercussions from major surgeries show up years and even decades later as people age and get older?

My best friend had an aortic aneurysm and had surgery for that and complications arose 20 years later.

OK...

I guess.

Has he had any recent scares that we don't know about?

After all, the last time Joe released any medical records was back in 2008...

That's the last time he released his medical records.

My best friend just had to have surgery to fix problems that developed from his aortic aneurysm surgery from 20 years ago.

I dunno.

It just seems strange that Joe won't release his medical records this year.

edit: Warren has not committed OFFICIALLY to releasing her medical records this year either. She Absolutely needs to do that too!

Are they trying to wait as long as possible before the elections for some reason that we don't know about?

Otherwise, as I have said repeatedly, ALL the candidates should release their medical records this year to give the public enough time to evaluate that information and make an informed decision before voting.

As you have said, the public deserves the truth!

I win.

Why won't Joe release his medical records this year?

Bernie is.

Joe just says he will release his "before voting starts".

So how much "before"?

Obviously less than 2 months. One month then? One week? The day before voting starts?



edit: Warren has not committed OFFICIALLY to releasing her medical records this year either. She Absolutely needs to do that too!
So Warren needs to be less vague too.

I do not know. You'll have to ask someone else.

Again, i do not know. But I'm flattered that you think I'd know the answers. I just can't help you with that.

What I can tell you is that Joe Biden isn't under a doctor's orders to "cut back" his campaigning, nor has he been hospitalized or sought emergency medical treatment twice recently. If he had, I'd be very interested in seeing his "medical records" as soon as possible too. But, as it is, there's really no sense of urgency around Joe Biden since he hasn't had a heart attack or stents for his clogged arteries and he hasn't had a fainting spell (or dizzy spell) and his doctor hasn't ordered him to cut-back.

I think he should release them now. He's the only candidate who's recently had a heart attack, stents, and a "fainting spell" or "dizzy spell" (typically a symptom of afib... and considering his history of poor heart health and clogged arteries, it seems highly likely).

So... when was Biden's "brain surgery"? I hadn't heard about it, can you provide more information?

Scare quotes around "brain surgery", does that mean you don't believe he had two brain surgeries for aneurysms?

Perhaps you think 1981 is ancient history, but here is what doctors said in 2008 when Biden last released medical records:



And Biden has have other health issues.








Two brain surgeries, irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol requiring medication, colon polyp surgery, medicated for an enlarged prostate, sinus surgery, removal of his gall bladder...

AND ALL THIS IS FROM BEFORE 2008, the last time Biden released his medical records.

I am not shocked at all the Joe Biden does not want to release his current medical records this year.

I wonder what other medical issues have cropped up since 2008?

All the candidates, AND THIS INCLUDES WARREN, need to release their full medical history this year so people can have enough time to process the information and make an informed decision before voting.

Sanders is deserves kudos for being the first to commit to this, not mockery. Biden, Warren, and the rest need to follow his lead and tell us all the medical issues, what medications people are or have taken and certainly all the surgeries and aftercare related to those.

I did not know until someone posted it in this thread that Biden is still being monitored for vein weakening as continuing follow up to his two brain surgeries over 30 years ago. The doctors in his 2008 records state that another aneurysm is a low probability but remains a possibility.

As someone else said in this thread -- The People Deserve the Truth.

It means that I'm quoting the person who said it, and it means that I don't know one way or the other about his "brain surgery"... and the other poster seemed reluctant to provide details, thus increasing my suspicion.

Yes, I think 1981 is much longer ago than the recent BS medical emergencies. At least he hasn't needed to be rushed to the hospital for life-saving procedures, and he hasn't been instructed by his physicians to "cut back" on his campaigning due to the stress and hectic schedule.

All I'm saying is, if a candidate can't handle the "stress" and "hectic schedule" of a campaign, then that candidate would NEVER be able to deal with everything that comes with being POTUS.

Check with me again when Biden's doctors tell HIM to "cut back" and take it easy. If that ever happens, then I may have something different to say. Until then, you'll just have to accept what I've already said.

Jackie!

Isn't it?



I mean the sooner the better, right?

And you are absolutely right, Warren should release her records this year too. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

It's imperative that we see ALL the candidates medical records as soon as possible. I mean, I was really stunned just looking at Biden's medical report from 2008. I had no idea it was so involved.

A person that works on her campaign said she would be releasing soon (before year's end) but I can't find that reported anywhere now that you mention it. hey, I will go back and edit that in to all my posts that mentioned Joe not releasing his reports this year. Thanks

So, sure.. Warren needs to release her medical records as soon as possible, as does Biden and all the other candidates that plan on continuing to campaign next year. saying they will release medical records before voting starts is just too vague.

I’m sure his promised health report is filed right next to those promised taxes.

That's funny!

LOL!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
