White House physician says Trump in 'excellent health'

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

The White House physician announced Friday that President Trump is in "excellent health" following his first physical exam as commander in chief.

"The president's exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center went exceptionally well. The president is in excellent health and I look forward to briefing some of the details on Tuesday," Dr. Ronny Jackson said in a statement.

Trump told reporters earlier this week that he would be "surprised" if he received poor results from the physical.

"I think it's going to go very well," the president predicted. "I'll be very surprised if it doesn't."

1. Bullshit. n/t

[kstewart33]

25. How much did they pay the doctor?

He's 71, approaching obesity, with a steady diet of KFC, Big Macs with large fries, pastries, Twinkies, Oreos, shakes and Diet Cokes, never exercises, and takes a golf cart whenever he has to walk more than a few yards (on and off the course).

And he's in "excellent health."

[kacekwl]

55. He's easy 60 lbs heavier than I am

and I'm technically obese. Bullshit seems about right.

[Hortensis]

99. :) Claiming to be 6'3" instead of 6'2" massaged his

computed BMI to just below clinically obese, instead of obese, on his last physical. At the claimed weight, of course, but I've heard that massage can be good for your health.

[pangaia]

59. And his constant inner negativity has a worst effect on his physical

health than anything.

[Honeycombe8]

81. Nothing. It was fear that Trump would destroy his career and life, if he didn't.

We've seen it. It's clear. That's what happens when you don't do or say what's expected.

[dawg day]

89. Remember in Italy, he took a golf cart to go a block or so?

The other nations' leaders walked.

His laziness really stuck out.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

96. Ronny Jackson is a Rear Admiral with an MD.

Generic: Physician to the President

Specific: Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson

He started active duty in 1995. He might have been in ROTC before that.

Whatever a RADM with 22 years active duty and an MD makes, that's what he's getting paid.

[Mr.Bill]

2. Bullshit.

[doc03]

3. For a 90 year old overweight moron. nt

[PJMcK]

4. Bullshit (n/t)

[rzemanfl]

18. We should form a Family Feud team with Mr. Bill.

[PJMcK]

47. How about this!

Wouldn't it be cool if we could have a thread where everybody just types "Trump is an idiot.?"

[rzemanfl]

57. "Drumpf is nuts. n/t" is mine I just have to put "D" on the subject line and click. n/t

[tanyev]

5. A boss I had several years ago had some similar traits as Trump.

This guy was big, with a large belly, but pretty healthy otherwise. The staff that had to deal with him wound up with more health issues than he ever did.

[spooky3]

67. Had a very similar experience with a boss with that physique, though shorter;

he also had a narcissistic and harassing personality. Stressed everyone out around him (especially me) and went on his jolly way--and got promoted.

[JenniferJuniper]

6. This almost certainly means

he has high blood pressure, insulin resistance, is many pounds overweight and probably on the short road to a massive coronary.

They don't lie well.

[djacq]

7. Clearly not right in the head.

[bearsfootball516]

8. Was anybody really expecting the physician to say "Well, his health is shit"

[withoutapaddle]

37. had to laugh...ty

dark humor gets me by these days. thanx for the smile

[PSPS]

9. I would have thought he'd bring in the amusing "Doctor" Harold Bornstein for this.

Jackson seems to be a real doctor.

[Chakaconcarne]

10. Take that democrats!

[Squinch]

26. Did you notice where you were?

[sheshe2]

35. Lol!

[Squinch]

36. I love it when their GPSs go all haywire!

[sheshe2]

40. Short stay.

[Squinch]

48. I was on the jury.

[Iliyah]

11. LIE

Lets see his medical records.

[sheshe2]

49. Not his medical records...

but...





Trumps doctors are liars.

[Cold War Spook]

92. If Putin saw this picture of Obama

he would put his shirt back on.

[Siwsan]

12. Is this story showing up anywhere else?

I did a quick search, and nada. All the stories are on past supposed physicals or from other than legitimate 'main stream media' news sites.

Unless he had all of his labs drawn in advance, I'm not sure how they can release this kind of info.

I kind of smell a ratsky.

[Mr. Ected]

13. Is there any duty to disclose any serious ailments?

Due to the doctor-patient privilege, I doubt it, but I'd like to know if my tax-funded KFC offerings have had their intended effects.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Minimally, he is obese and seems to have COPD

He probably has some degree of diabetes and heart disease. And his mind is nothing but rotten sewage. Dementia or just demented. Who gives a shit. Time will have its way.

[mountain grammy]

66. Exactly!

He could drop dead tomorrow.

[bdamomma]

107. How much

did he pay off that Dr. to say he was in "excellent shape" or did he threaten the Dr this is total BS, he could drop dead with all the crap he eats, boy does he really think we are that stupid????? well his base is. Up is down, down is up. Obese POS he is. What does he see when he looks in a mirror????

[mountain grammy]

112. Here's my guess how it went down

since the "news" says it was a three hour exam.. president shithole spent three hours telling the doc how great he is, how healthy he is, how smart he is.. and the doc gave him a thumbs up because what else is he gonna do?

Yearly exam, done!

[RhodeIslandOne]

15. "Dr Ronny Jackson"

LOL.

And Reagan didn't have Alzheimer's.

[lunasun]

39. The same Dr. Did Obama's physical also

[sarge43]

41. Well, he's a RAdm USN and fully qualified MD

Assigned as White House physician. Was appointed in 2013, so he was President Obama's MD, too.

[RhodeIslandOne]

63. His name is Ronnie

Not Ronny

[sarge43]

69. So, an intern misspelled. Quell surprise with Team Moron n/t

[Jiveman]

87. And you misspelled "quelle"

If you're gonna throw stones....

[marble falls]

90. Wellcome to the family Thanksgiving Dinner we call DU!!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

91. 'Welcome' has one 'L'

Since we're in the DU Spelling Bee Forum...

[marble falls]

93. Have another porsion of stuffing?

And some cramberries?

I love DU!!

[radical noodle]

101. Don't forget the

punkin pie.

[marble falls]

102. with whipt creem!

[Eliot Rosewater]

95. They lied, made up the statement. Nothing that comes out of the WH is true, not ever.

[spooky3]

70. Where are you getting this info? The sources I saw all spelled it "Ronny."

For example: Wiki, Newsweek

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician_to_the_President

[onenote]

74. Wrong. It's Ronny.

These things are easily looked up.

[KT2000]

83. the WH brief

misspelled his name. It ends in a Y but the message the WH sent out tried to make it look like it was from the Dr. but they spelled his name wrong.

[radical noodle]

100. That's backward, I think

His name is Ronny, not Ronnie as the WH spelled it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I doubt that they have his blood workup results yet.

[Siwsan]

22. Exactly

And if they didn't do any neurological tests, the whole thing was a waste of time, anyway. My mom was the picture of health, if you didn't count the Dementia/Alzheimer's.

[LuckyLib]

111. Med centers can have blood results in a few hours.

Unless they are dealing with a suspicion of a rare disease or disorder. It will be interesting to see if Drumpf allows anything other than routine information out.

[FM123]

17. Liar Doctor!

[xxqqqzme]

19. He is an overweight 71 year old white male

He drinks 7-9 diet cokes a day. His favorite meal is Mcd's ham/cheeseburgers plus fries. He loves sweets - chocolate cake and ice cream. He believes exercise shortens your life. There is no way in hell he is in 'excellent health'.

[Siwsan]

24. Maybe being the Anti-Christ mitigates all of that.

Just a guess, on my part.

[bronxiteforever]

31. Lol!

[Maggiemayhem]

64. U made my day.

[Siwsan]

65. Glad to know that!!!

[n2doc]

28. totally agree

That diet alone is a killer.

[LenaBaby61]

44. President is in excellent health 😆

He drinks 7-9 diet cokes a day. His favorite meal is Mcd's ham/cheeseburgers plus fries. He loves sweets - chocolate cake and ice cream. He believes exercise shortens your life. There is no way in hell he is in 'excellent health'.

Agree.

NO WAY in hell is that old, obese, mentally-deteriorating hog healthy.

But of course the doctor has to say fatso's "healthy"

[forgotmylogin]

84. He couldn't walk ten blocks in Europe.

[Fred Sanders]

20. BMI over 30, for sure, for 71 year old is not " excellent health". I also look forward to details.

[meadowlander]

51. Well over that. I'd bet anything he's over 300 pounds and gained at least 50 in the last year alone.

BMI will be over 40.

There might not be obvious complications of a BMI like that but no qualified doctor would describe it as "excellent" health.

[underpants]

21. Well, that was quick

[Lochloosa]

23. Funny. My labs usually take a few weeks.

[mwooldri]

71. Hmmm... That's some specialist labwork?

I'm sure these were the usual tests that doctors order, stuff that can be sent to any small lab and ran quickly. Those results most people get back in a day. Those tests take mere minutes to run.

There are some specialist tests that only certain labs can run. Those are where you have the wait of weeks. A comprehensive metabolic panel or even a testosterone test isn't one of those.

[onenote]

75. There will be additional information next week after the labs are done.

[trixie2]

78. I get mine the next morning

Less then 24 hours.

[Sgent]

85. For an otherwise healthy 71 yo male with no complaints

the recommended bloodwork for a physical can be done in the hospital in a few minutes. Many outpatient clinics can even do them.

Evidence says you should do a fasting glucose and cholesterol. Many physicians would add a liver panel and Hemoglobin A1C. All these can be done in the hospital or office.

[left-of-center2012]

27. I should go on a KFC and Big Mac diet!

[n2doc]

33. has been tried

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me

Wouldn't recommend eating that diet...

[itsrobert]

29. The real question is who provided the blood samples

and urine samples?


Has to be the same blood type.

[trixie2]

79. Interesting theory!

[rzemanfl]

34. Maybe, but I was the first on DU. n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. THey have all the lab results back already?

No physician would say that about a very obese man of his age.

This is HIS physician saying this but it is not his physician doing the exam.

[TheCowsCameHome]

38. ..for an obese orangutan with self control issues.

[Orange Free State]

42. No way will they release his real

height and weight. I estimate 5’11” and 265 lbs.

[thegoose]

43. Oh, hell no

This fat bloated insane asshole is a swamp bubbling with toxic shit. They paid off another "doctor"?

[turbinetree]

45. AS citizens that pays for this report, I think we have a right to know his weight, better yet ,

did you do a blood test to find out if he has:

herpes, heart disease, being a traitor, a racist and a bigot--------------and did he pass with flying colors..........on this examination..............................



Trump told reporters earlier this week that he would be "surprised" if he received poor results from the physical.

"I think it's going to go very well," the president predicted. "I'll be very surprised if it doesn't."

[24601]

108. We citizens pay for myriad reports, e.g. every member of the military and everyone in a federal

prison. Nor does taxpayer funding of medicare and medicaid negate privacy rights for the rest of us.

[Vinca]

46. You don't have to be Sigmund Freud to see that he's batshit crazy.

And that's not "excellent health."

[briv1016]

50. The doctor's an Admiral.

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-white-house-doctor-physician-who-ronny-jackson-778734

Donald can order him to say anything.

[rainin]

54. Exactly!! n/t

[dhol82]

58. Or say nothing and then issue dumps own version of the report.

Let’s see where this goes.

[uponit7771]

106. +1

[YOHABLO]

52. Well we all know that's not true. ha ha What a joke. Who's this doctor?

[onenote]

76. Dr. Ronny Jackson -- appointed by Pres. Obama in 2013

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronny_Jackson

[yuiyoshida]

53. Going to go with the "Bullshit"

exclamation. Its sound enough.

[DemoTex]

56. Ditto!

Can't improve on it.

[angrychair]

60. He is the CIC

He can just order him to say whatever he wants....

[lastlib]

61. DAMN.

When are we going to catch a break??

[Maine-i-acs]

62. Seems we've seen this guy before

[Eliot Rosewater]

94. Love Jack Elam

The support your local Sheriff movie

[Dave Starsky]

68. Ha ha. I told ya.

He's the healthiest President since Theodore Roosevelt. Dude could lick his weight in wildcats every morning before breakfast.

[aka-chmeee]

72. Bummer! nt

[hamsterjill]

73. Yeah, right.

Damn, the bullshit just gets thicker and thicker, doesn’t it?

[flyingfysh]

77. The doctor may not have written that statement

Rachel Maddow pointed out that the statement published by the White House spelled the first name as "Ronnie". The doctor spells his name "Ronny". I presume that the doctor would know how to spell his own name.

[trixie2]

80. I was under the impression that it was a statement from the White house that "appears" to quote Dr.

[Aristus]

82. But the country? Not so much...

[BlueStater]

86. As if they would really release anything negative or unflattering to the public.

If this tub of lard actually is in good health, it's purely due to genetics since he, between his unhealthy diet, total lack of exercise, and lack of sleep, almost deliberately seems to be trying to destroy his body.

[BHDem53]

88. POTUS

W.H. Taft was svelte in comparison.

[mainer]

97. Statement is not direct from the doctor

It's a White House release, it misspelled Dr. Jackson's name, and it's signed by "Dr. Ronnie Jackson," when any real medical doctor would sign his name "Ronnie Jackson, M.D."

[Akoto]

98. Note: Exam is voluntary and he can choose what's disclosed.

Heard that on Rachel's show, I believe. If something is off, I guess they can cherry pick the good stuff and say he's in excellent health?

Also noted that President Obama released an unusually detailed copy of his medical exam, right down to a digital colonoscopy!

[stonecutter357]

103. #fakenews.

[MFM008]

104. At this weight

He's probably pre- diabetic and we know he has high cholesterol. Probable high or borderline blood pressure.

[pansypoo53219]

105. past presidents went to WALTER REED.

[LompocDem]

110. I'm sure I'm not the only one who misread

I truly saw pediatrician while scanning the thread headlines in LBN. I had to backtrack and make sure I wasn't in GD reading an Onion article spoof of the exam preliminary results.
