President Barack Obama, who had medical tests on Saturday after complaining of a sore throat, is suffering from acid reflux, the president's physician said.

"The president's symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly," Obama's doctor, Captain Ronny Jackson, said in a statement.

Acid reflux is a condition in which the stomach contents flow back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing such symptoms as heartburn and sore throat.

Obama, 53, went to Walter Reed military hospital for a fiber optic exam of his throat and since swelling was detected, doctors decided to perform a CT scan as well, Jackson said.

“If you could have the best doctors give you thousands of dollars of tests and not pay a dime for it, just for kicks and giggles, wouldn’t you spend an afternoon doing it?”

Wait until the Docs get tired of Bammy and send the largest orderlies in the hospital down to the basement to get the ancient, huge Mark One Endoscope - the one hospital legend calls “The Endoscope Of Justice.”

Not being a Christian, I can hope, with absolutely no qualms, that it's both painful and fatal.

Acid Reflux? I think not - He heard about the debacle in Yemen and had a sudden rush of adrenalin sierra-hotel-india-tango to the heart.

One teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in four ounces of water ends my acid reflux in under ten seconds.

Any amount of sodium bicarbonate or other acid neutralizer or absorber has a suppressive effect on my reflux for a maximum of 45 seconds. Then back to the pain. Have to take a triple dose of a PPI instead.

A CT scan is a good idea! A CT is equivalent to 100 X-rays in terms of radiological exposure.

CT scans are not used to diagnose GERD!

In most cases, it's a clinical diagnosis.

But from the stories we've been spoon-fed by the media, Obama went in for a sore throat.

Again you would never CT scan someone for a "sore throat".

UNLESS, as the stories are telling us, Obama had a fiberoptic look-see first.

Again, that is not standard of care for a "sore throat".

Really have any of you been scoped when you said you had a sore throat?

The scope showed something strange, so the doctors are looking for a serious cause.

And FGS, they wouldn't be CT scanning the area for a benign condition.

I hope it's nothing, but the press is really pissing me off about this.

Go find the world's stupidest doctor and ask him if a CT scan is EVER used for a benign sore throat?

I will say that an endoscopy would probably do as well at less cost, but I’m not sure how they price these things so anyone’s guess is as good as mine.
