Joe Biden may have announced his intention to run for reelection in 2024 but it is clear from his stiff-legged gait and increasing mumbling incoherence that the only thing he’ll be running for in 2024 may be the bathroom. His recent physical exam has done nothing to dispel the growing belief among the public and some political professionals that Joe Biden is dangerously near the point of complete physical and mental collapse.
Amazingly, his physical exam did not include either a cognitive test or a MRI brain scan despite am obvious need for both, a fact noted by noted medical expert and Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel after a curiously rosy scenario offered by WH Physician Kevin O’Connor :
WH Physician Kevin O’Connor stated that Biden “remains a healthy, vigorous, 78-year-old male, who is fit to execute the duties of the Presidency successfully.”
But, O’Connor noted that Biden’s current medical problems include “a-fib with the normal ventricular response, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, seasonal allergies, spinal arthritis and mild sensory peripheral neuropathy of both feet.”
Dr. Marc Siegel, a Clinical Professor of Medicine and a practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center raised his voice to share what he thinks about Biden’s exam.

And I had mri with contrast in 2012 after a stroke, other then the noise. Not a big deal
Joe had his brain removed or mostly removed years ago
This was exactly what I immediately thought about posting the minute I saw the article title! Beat me to it! Brilliant!!
“Cerebral MRI is an unpleasant thing to go through.”
I’ve had two.
One after a bad accident. A kid ran a stop light and T-boned me at high speed. Felt like my head bounced around for hours.
Gad another years later after I retired and started having seizures.
Neither time was it more than just a little noisy. The first time I almost went to sleep. The second time they played whatever kind of music I wanted to help pass the time.
No big deal.
I’ve even had nerve tests done on my legs due to my neuropathy. First they shock your leg at different places and watch what happens on the computer.
Then they use long thin needles hooked up to the computer to listen to your nerves.
The doctor had warned me that it was painful and most people couldn’t take the test from start to finish.
I wash cracking the techs up I was joking so much!
“Hey doc, you get to taser people all day AND GET PAID FOR IT?? SIGN ME UP!”
The tech with the needles was a real hottie. I said something along the lines of meeting me after work and oh yeah, bring the needles.
She had a wicked grin so who knows...maybe she would have.
I have a cerebral MRI every year. They aren’t fun…they are more tedious.
I have also had the neurological test on my leg. Every time they jolted me the tech would say, “Sorry.”
I told her if the test was going to go one for a while I was going to get tired of her apologizing for something that wasn’t her fault.
We laughed. Then she shocked me again. And then said, “Sorry.”
“We laughed. Then she shocked me again. And then said, “Sorry.”
I think most of them are used to people who just can’t take it. My daughter took me to my appointment because the doctor said my feet might hurt too much to drive afterward.
My daughter said one man went in after me and bounced off the table after the first shock and headed for the door. He left with the smock still on and his clothes under his arm.
I would put the MRI in the tedious category as well.
Well, maybe you gave her an extracurricular career idea...
Having inherited some of the wildly infamous forgetfulness of my mother’s side of the family, I KNOW that I’m not fit to be President in that area, even though I don’t have a form a dementia. It’s just forgetfulness from time to time. I’m otherwise doing well.
So why in the world would ANYONE, at this stage, think that Biden is fit?
“An MRI machine is a rather noisy, unpleasant contraption.”
I suppose that there are differences between people. I’ve had MRIs every six months for 5 years and did not consider them to be ‘unpleasant.’ I usually doze off during the MRIs.
“Cerebral MRI: I had one eight years ago after I had a stroke.”
I’ve had full-body MRIs from the tip of my head to just below the knees every six months for five years. As I told another poster, I usually doze off during the MRIs.
I do not know why some people would consider them to be ‘unpleasant’ unless it is simply because of the time consumed while we could be doing other things.
As of now, I am cancer-free.
I told two other posters that I have had full-body MRIs every six months for five years. I did not find them to be ‘unpleasant.’ Like you, I usually doze off during the MRI.
Yes, seems about right. Reagan made it through his first term, Biden not.
“Well, maybe you gave her an extracurricular career idea...”
Charlottesville IS a college town so that increases the likelihood of her business venture showing a profit. Especially since start up and overhead is so low. #; )
I don’t know why people are so scared of getting one. Most machines now are larger so they’re not a tight fit anymore. I don’t think they’re as noisy as they used to be.
I actually tell the technicians to take their time while I take a nap.
