He'd say Proactive MRI and could list several reasons

 

strong family history of serious diseases.

a comprehensive health overview or peace of mind.

elevated risk factors for certain conditions. 

Thank you, an actual discussion, I see what you’re saying. There are clinics that offer full body MRI’s for a fee, not covered by insurance, for preventative screening. Major medical organizations also recommend against them. They’re considered to have risks & generally unnecessary. This isn’t a private doctor, it’s the White House physician, who iirc is with Walter Reed via the US Navy. I’d be very surprised if Walter Reed regulations authorize such procedures. But you’re definitely right, such things do exist.

I never said word one about Trump, not one, simply pointed out that proactive MRIs are done and symptoms are not the only reason for a MRI.

Why would WR regulations prevent such procedures?  You're making chit up again, if a patient wanted it they would do it.  patient's family medical history is a big part of having them done and if you can afford them why not get it for peace of mind

You are right, they are not often recommended due to cost and false results but they are done.

on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know.

Looks like Trump has had a third cognitive test, this time in front of a large number of doctors and experts.

I'm sure it was just a preventative test because he has shown ZERO symptoms.  Clearly the smartest man on Earth.

I appreciate the normal convo, let’s try to keep it up. I did say (or tried to) that you made a good point.

The specific test here would have been done at Walter Reed by a White House, that’s why it matters in this instance. If you want me to link to an explanation that insurers don’t pay for it & that medical organizations recommend against it, I’m glad to.

I’m really not. Megla made an excellent point. I do think Trump himself saying “experts” were present for his cognitive test is odd.

Gutterboy thinks an MRI can’t be used to detect issues. He’s really stupid. 

They think that Presidents get the same medical treatment as the rest of us ham & eggers.

@Meglamaniac I need to duck out, thank you for the informed discussion, seriously. Merry Christmas.

Trump just volunteers stuff. Now he’s added ‘in front of large numbers of people and experts.’ I do think Megla made a valid point - but now for some reason there are experts involved, per Trump.

You need multiple "experts" to administer a cognitive test.

Maybe he's taking Leqembi, an Alzheimer's drug. Explains a lot.

Leqembi (lecanemab) is an FDA-approved prescription medicine for early Alzheimer's disease (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia), working by removing amyloid plaques from the brain to slow cognitive decline, given as a bi-weekly IV infusion and requiring regular MRI monitoring for side effects like brain swelling (ARIA). 

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

It explains the hand discoloration, the MRI (for which he didn't release the brain scan), odd behavior and tiredness.

Our president has the early onset of Alzheimer's. He should step down immediately.

He’s fine.

It doesn’t matter. America will elect a new president in under 3 years. He’ll be fine until then. Then he becomes a private citizen.
