Physical finds Biden 'fit' for the job, but report does not say he had a cognitive exam

*** SNIP ***

...Dr. Marc Siegel ... said he has some concerns about information lacking from the report that would provide a clearer understanding of the gait issue Biden faces.

"I don't like that they ascribe his gait issues to a broken foot. First of all, why did he fall," Siegel inquired, adding that the report also "prescribes the gait problem to spondylosis."

"That's an incomplete characterization," Siegel continued, stressing the importance of understanding why Biden is facing certain health issues. "What I want to know is, where's the MRIs and where's the EMGs?

"They did a thorough neurological exam, but they also need to do a nerve conduction EMG, and they need to do an MRI of the brain and the spinal cord to try and explain where this gait problem comes from," Siegel said.

O'Connor's report did not include a cognitive exam of the president, as several of his critics have said should be done. Siegel suggested that other tests to evaluate Biden's health could "rule out" things that could potentially be associated with cognitive decline.

"If we're looking into neurological causes for the gait change, I don't think the way they characterize that in the physical is sufficient," Siegel said. "I want more information. I want to know what the MRIs show, and I want to know what the nerve conduction EMG shows to rule out things that are more extensive, that by the way, can be associated with cognitive changes like mental status, like dementia."

"This is not a fully characterized neurological assessment of somebody with a gait problem, and I want to know why," Siegel added, noting that normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition relating to fluid on the brain, is a "possibility" for certain medical issues. "That can be associated with cognitive loss."

Remember when Trump was given a cognitive exam at 72?

The report doesn't show that Biden was given a cognitive exam at 79.

And no mention of the colonoscopy, which is not part of an annual physical ,and it’s results. They are covering and lying about something.

His entire presidency is a cognitive exam.

He fails.

Dr Seigel is smart enough to know you only perform tests when you WANT to find something!

Doesn’t matter if he gets a mental exam or not, we will never know the true results

Even if he was unfit, look who is next in line, and next in line after her. It’s going to be a long three years.

They purposely didn’t do a cognitive assessment.

He must’ve had a cognitive exam. Did they not shove a probe up his butt?

All lies and the truth will never be published.

My take is they reassess his mental capabilities every so often or as needed.

I am willing to bet 70% of the nation believes NONE of what they are told regarding his state of health.

drugs to help his brain....

Imagine the ethical deficiencies in the medical doctor making up this report. Like other leftists, he has no acquaintance with the truth.

Will it be a legal problem or will he later say “Gosh, imagine that. The next day after my work he developed that.”

They are waiting to replace Kamala Harris with a new VP before releasing the results of the Mental Exam.

I think for Biden a colonoscopy was a cognitive exam.

He has been mentwl,mental, evaluated likely many times to keep tabs on the rate of decline, but we will never be privy to,the findings as the left hide his mental problems from the publicthere is no way that he hasn’t been evaluated mentally given the gaffs and lost look on his face over and over. They know he isn’t fit to lead. Tucker speaks with his fami,family, members who all pretty much confirm to tucker that there is something going on with Biden mentally, and that they were shocked that he “became president” because they thought he had no chance because of his mental problems

There is no way so eine as rich as Joe hasn’t been mentally evaluated and treated for a long time now. He woild be getting the very best treatment and tests

I can diagnosis biden from my living room. He’s gone in the head.

It happens and with his medical history I’m surprised he’s doing as well as he is. I can only imagine the drugs they are pumping into him daily. He probably has a pic line.
