ABC News: Elizabeth Warren's health records show she's in 'excellent health'
Kudos to Elizabeth Warren for taking a potential sexist attack head on by releasing her health records. Neither Biden nor Bernie Sanders have released their medical records.

"Senator Warren is in excellent health and has been throughout the 20 years I have served as her physician," Dr. Beverly Woo, a primary care doctor at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, wrote in the medical report. Warren has "no medical conditions or health problems that would keep her from fulfilling the duties of the President of the United States." Woo also disclosed Warren's "only" condition is hypothyroidism, a common auto-immune condition most often in women.
"She currently takes levothyroxine 0.88 mg per day, which restores her thyroid hormone level to normal," wrote Woo, who has been Warren's doctor since 1999.
Warren's Thyroid Stimulating Hormone level, released as part of her medical records, suggests her hypothyroidism is well controlled. Results of her blood test and vital signs were within normal limits.
According to Warren's medical records, she got a flu shot in October and last got a physical in January. It was "normal." She is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 129 pounds.

Thank goodness, because any hint of ill health would ruin her, because she's a she.
