Doctor: I wrote Trump's bill of health in 5 minutes
CNN ^ | 8/26/2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Washington (CNN). The doctor who has produced the only public medical record about Donald Trump during his presidential campaign reportedly said he spent only five minutes writing it.

Harold Bornstein, Trump's doctor who wrote a four-paragraph note last December declaring the GOP nominee to be the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," said Friday that he spent very little time on the note.

"I try to get four or five lines down as fast as possible so that they would be happy," he told NBC News, explaining that he penned the note as he waited for a limo to pick him up. "In the rush, I think some of those words didn't come out exactly the way they were meant."

Bornstein said he added some hyperbole to the note because "I think I picked up his kind of language and then I just interpreted it to my own."

The media is really getting desperate. Notice the made up headline. Bornstein never said that he only spent 5 minutes writing it. He said he wrote 4 or 5 paragraphs and spent very little time writing it.

Later in the article they say that Trump will be the oldest male ever first elected to the presidency while neglecting to mention that Hildebeast would be the second oldest person ever elected. Unblievable the bias.

Good grief. The reporter would be surprised how little time a doctor spends on a patient’s chart in the hospital.

More importantly, I have eyes and see that Trump is vigorous and healthy. Hillary looks terrible even while working 10% as hard at campaigning.

I saw this hit piece on NBC - Lester Holt claimed, “Donald Trump’s health is coming under question as Clinton’s health is scrutinized,” or something like that...umm, not by me or anyone else who sees him keep up his schedule!

The doctor was foolish to let the NBC hit squad in his office, or enjoying his 15 minutes.

Yeah he may have wrote the bill of health in a few minutes, but what is left out is how long Trump used him, and how often and how familiar the doctor is with his patient. My doctor would write a bill of health in a few minutes if I needed him to, he has all of my records, and can generally recollect if there was any issues since the last time I visited.

Ok, he spent 5 minutes writing the note. So what? What is important is how long he spent examining Trump & how thorough was the exam.

The length of time spent on the memo & the extent of the exam are not necessarily correlated.

However, it doesn’t sound like this guy is too credible. On the other hand, Hillary’s note/letter was a 1-page summary also - so not too insightful.

Trump should state that he would gladly decide the election by competing in an obstacle course.

The doctor doesn’t do himself favors giving interviews while looking like Frank Zappa.

Better yet, he could take a cue from Maine's governor who has reportedly challenged a hated dhimmicrat critic to a duel.

I could "write" Hillary's bill of health in 15 seconds, (sick as a dog and looks it, too) but it's not how long it takes to write it.

FYI, Donald has avoided most of our sins of smoke and alcohol, and he's a golfer which usually means an above average health and longer life.

Has this doctor ever heard of medical privacy or HIPAA laws?

Why is he revealing any thing about Donald Trump’s medical records?

I believe Trump said he'd release his medical records if H.Clinton agreed to release all hers.☺

Trump should release his medical records and demand that Clinton do the same..Ive seen people in ICU who look in better shape than Hitlary Clinton..the media will NEVER demand she release her medical records because they know she isnt fit for office

I would have to agree with you. Strange man, and his assistant in the background. Whole thing seems like a joke. But, Trump doesn't show any signs of health problems, unlike Hillary.

I’m hoping Julian Assange has info from Her Thighness’s doctor.

With Trump’s obvious good health, does anyone need more than 5 minutes to summarize it?

Hell, Trump should propose deciding the election by walking one mile together. Shrillarity can’t do it. She only made it through 4 blocks (1/5 mile) at the NYC Gay Pride parade, she looked like a corpse, and the Mediascum gave her a total pass.

Hillary and Trump play doctor: I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours.
