President Biden got his latest physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and the six-page report was released on Wednesday.
The White House said 20 doctors were involved in the evaluation of the President’s health, and none of them concluded that Biden was a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” as suggested by a Republican special counsel’s report.
Instead, Joe Biden’s White House physician Kevin O’Connor described him as “a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
White House physician Kevin O’Connor found “no new concerns” during his exam. In his report, he wrote Biden is being treated for a number of ailments consistent with his age: “sleep apnea, a-fib with normal ventricular response, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, seasonal allergies, spinal arthritis and sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet.”
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden did not undergo a cognitive test during his exam Wednesday, explaining that O’Connor did not deem one to be necessary. She said the rigors of being president amounted to a cognitive test “every day.”
I mean, seriously, this guy is healthier than I am.
