"From suggesting bleach as a COVID treatment to making unproven claims about Tylenol causing autism, President Donald Trump 's relationship with the medical community is pretty fraught."
"A memo from the White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, led to even more confusion, as it said vaguely that the October visit "included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventative health assessments," and the results were all "exceptional.""
""The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor," Trump said on November 14. "I have no idea what they analyzed. But whatever they analyzed they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they've ever seen.""
President Donald Trump has faced multiple medical controversies, including suggestions of unproven treatments and disputed medication claims. The White House disclosed in June that he has chronic venous insufficiency after months of speculation about a persistent hand bruise and leg swelling. On October 10 he visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a visit described as a "routine yearly checkup," despite having an annual physical in April. A memo from the White House physician said the October visit "included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventative health assessments," and described the results as "exceptional." Trump reported doctors called the results the best they had seen, while Democrats later demanded release of test details.
