White House Has Not Released Results of President Trump's Latest Physical Exam
The White House has not issued a summary of President Trump's physical exam conducted Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Hospital. A White House official said a readout is expected within a day or two.
realitytea.comThe White House has not released a summary of the results of President Trump's latest physical exam after his Tuesday visit to Walter Reed National Military Hospital. A White House official said to expect a readout in the next day or so. The president posted on Truth Social midday Tuesday that everything checked out perfectly.
"Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center," the president wrote on Truth Social midday Tuesday. "Everything checked out PERFECTLY. " The president had previous checkups at Walter Reed in April and October of last year.
The White House has declined to comment on whether the president, who turns 80 next month, will continue to get biannual physicals rather than seeing the doctor once a year. The October trip took place on a Saturday, and a summary was released the following Monday.
This week's trip to Walter Reed included routine annual dental and medical assessments, the White House previously said in a statement.
The president also visited a local dentist in Florida earlier this month. Following prior checkups, the president's physician has described his physical health as excellent. The physician said in October that the president's cardiac age was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.
The White House in December said the president underwent advanced imaging of his abdomen and cardiovascular system for preventative reasons. The president eventually clarified to the Wall Street Journal he underwent a CT scan, not an MRI, as he initially said.
In July, after the president was seen with swollen ankles, the physician said he was diagnosed with a benign and common condition called chronic venous insufficiency.
The physician also wrote in a July memo that discoloration on the president's hand was caused by bruising due to aspirin use and frequent handshaking.
