President Biden told Democratic governors on Wednesday night that he received a medical checkup following last week’s disastrous debate and insisted he’s in good health, according to a report.
But the short doctor’s visit was only to assess an apparent lingering cold and didn’t include any major tests, a source told Politico.
The 81-year-old president’s health disclosure to the more than 20 governors was prompted when one of the state leaders asked him about his physical condition during the hastily organized hour-long meeting, three people with knowledge of the conversation told the outlet.
The discussion was put together amid increased concern in the Democratic party over the president’s age, cognitive fitness and ability to serve another four-year term.
Biden said he had a checkup just days before and said he was healthy — while knocking on wood for effect, two of three people, who were granted anonymity to speak freely, told the outlet.
A source familiar with the president’s daily schedule, however, told Politico that Biden’s mention of a checkup was referring to a short and quick visit with a White House doctor who saw him for a lingering cold. The physician did not evaluate Biden on any major tests, the source said.
Just hours earlier, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to directly answer reporters’ questions on whether the president’s health had been professionally evaluated following the debate, according to the publication.

Significant numbers of patients with Parkinson’s don’t have tremor. Look at the other motor manifestations he exhibits when his medications wear off (like at the debate): shuffling gait; loss of associated movements (like no arm swinging when he walks); mask like fancies; no eye blinking; and difficulty turning smoothly when he walks.
He does have significant cognitive dysfunction, it’s true. His motor manifestations of Parkinson’s are partially treated with dopamine agonists but when they wear off … he’s Parkinsonian. The tremor does not have to be present for the diagnosis.
I wonder if an MRI of his Swiss cheese brain would help show what is really going on?
“Calling Dr. Howard Dr. Fine Dr. Howard!”
He was evaluated by Dr. Jill of course! And she said he was JUST FINE.

but better than tomorrow

Thank you. Didn’t know those other symptoms of Parkenson disease.

The vaxx debacle proved that most doctors had the ethics of crack whores in a back alley on a Friday night.
Getting a “clean” bill of health from one of them is useless.

Yeah. "Uh, hi, Joe. How's it going?" "Well, I pool noodle the brommish fergle grape, but it's vanilla pudding pops for dessert. What was the question again?" "He's fine!"
