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."

Is it even appropriate for this doctor to be discussing Trump’s health with the media - assuming this is a doctor that has examined / treated Trump?

Notice the made up headline.

These days I assume all headlines are lies or in error. They are essentially click bait, so they often fail to deliver on their promise.

The same rule applies for words inside of quotation marks. They used to mean the subject actually said this. Now they mean the guy who wrote the argument thought it would be more fun if the guy said it, even if he didn't.

Trump should challenge her to one briskly walked lap on a high school track, a manual dexterity test, a game of Simon, and last an IQ test. Results all made public.

I don’t see the story here, but the media will blow it up. He doesn’t drink or smoke, has a good family health history, and exercises regularly. Trump has bp of 110/65. That’s great for a man his age.

He’s a board certified Internist and Gastroenterologist. He went to Tufts University. He’s rated 4.5 stars by patients. Sounds like a Dr. I would want.

Add nurses to that. Pill reactions NEVER get noted in hospital charts. Nor does that list of drug reactions or other health issues. And you get a diet out of dietary you can’t consume as it contains things you are NOT allowed to eat because of other meds you are on. I take Synthyroid, NO SOY or Grapefruit products. And am Low Sodium, heart...what do I get HIGH sodium broth and Ensure which is mostly SOY and both taste like Horse Manure..3 times a day. So I don’t eat when I have to go to the hospital. Nor do I drink melted Ice as water I can taste the ice maker burn.

How much can you say about a person who is completely healthy?

He gets a flamingly good report, a great bill of health, and what does the media do, they pick apart the note from the doctor who knows him. The media is way, way beyond the pale. They are horrible. They are absolute traitors to the American cause.
