Biden found to be "healthy" and "fit" to be president, says White House physician

President Biden "remains a healthy, vigorous 78-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency," White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor wrote in a memo to White House press secretary Jen Psaki Friday. But O'Connor also took note of a couple of issues evident in the president's health profile after the completion of Mr. Biden's routine physical Friday morning.

O'Connor noted that there has been an increase in the frequency of Mr. Biden's coughing during public speeches. He has always coughed, O'Connor said, but the coughing has become "more frequent and pronounced" over the last few months. He attributed this to reflux.

He also noted that there's more stiffness and less fluidity in the president's gait, which he concluded is the result of "wear and tear" osteoarthritic changes to the president's spine.

Mr. Biden also underwent a "detailed neurologic exam," which "was reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis," O'Connor wrote. He has been Mr. Biden's primary physician for 13 years and was also the author of the last memo on Mr. Biden's physical health, which was released in 2019.

Mr. Biden, the country's oldest president in history, turns 79 Saturday.

I am SO relieved to hear he is healthy, fit and has no cerebellar or other central neurological disorders. What a great guy.

If only the doc could explain why he want to destroy the USA

I bet he couldn’t write down a grocery list, get in a car, drive to the store, pick up the items on the list and return home without help.

They could tell that from a colonoscopy? Now we are certain that we knew all along where his brain is.

Did I miss reading about the results of Biden’s cognitive memory test? I fully remember the propaganda media repeatedly demanding that Trump take the test. Of course Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the test.

Jeff Dunham was heard to remark, “I’ve had my hand up Walter Biden’s ass. There is nothing wrong with his prostate!”

’ “detailed neurologic exam,” which “was reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or ascending lateral sclerosis,”’

n.b., No mention of ruling out the dementia that Joe so plainly exhibits.
