Trump’s Physical Revealed Serious Heart Concerns, Outside Experts Say
New York Time vis MSN ^ | 1-17-18 | Michael D Shear

WASHINGTON — Cardiologists not associated with the White House said Wednesday that President Trump’s physical exam revealed serious heart concerns, including very high levels of so-called bad cholesterol, which raises the risk that Mr. Trump could suffer a heart attack while in office. Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, a rear admiral and the White House physician, said Tuesday in his report on the president’s medical condition that Mr. Trump was in “excellent” cardiac health despite having an LDL cholesterol level of 143, well above the desired level of 100 or less. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute, disputed that rosy assessment. He said on Wednesday that the most alarming fact is that the president’s LDL levels remain above 140 even though he is taking 10 milligrams of Crestor, a powerful drug that is used to lower cholesterol levels to well below 100.

I'm sure if there is a cholesterol issue, they have given him medication for it.

I think that every single one of them that publicly announced their ‘diagnosis’ without ever having examined him should have their licenses stripped.

Good God.. these people are so desperate for something negative about Trump’s health, they’re reduced to concocting medical diagnoses without an examination. I remember when that was termed “fraudulent.”

Any “doctor” who makes ANY medical diagnosis without a personal examination of the patient is NOT a doctor, they are a quack.

But it was okay that Obama was a smoker and a former drug user.

I bet there is a mechanism to file a complaint with the licensing board of this “doctor.”

It is beyond hideously immoral that these people are rooting for POTUS (or anyone for that matter) to kill over.

They really are the scum of the Earth.

They didn’t get the election results they wanted - resist & create fake news.

They aren’t getting the collusion story they wanted - resit & create fake news.

They don’t get the medical report they were hoping for - resist & create more fake medical news.

Very true.

Who are we supposed to believe? The doctor who did the physical exam, or a TV doctor who has never seen the patient?

Has Dr. Bandy X. Lee offered her opinion on the state of mind of the doctor conducting the exam?
