His pressurized, rambling, incoherent speech, when you take it all together,
Reasonable people are asking reasonable questions.
These are not political questions.
These are basic medical questions that if they had a doctor that was not trying to editorialize and actually just present the facts, these would be reasonable questions to get answers to.
And yet we're not saying that.
And I aced it.
I got a perfect mark, which you would be in
So number one, advanced imaging, you do not get out of nowhere just an MRI of your torso, your chest, and your abdomen.
and present those results from the white house physician and act as though that's a normal screening tool there are some that believe that a full body mri in this day and age if you can afford it is appropriate to do reasonable people can disagree if that's what actually he did then present the results of the full body mri but there's no reason whatsoever especially if they're saying he's the chief executive of the united states just to limit it to the mri of the chest and the abdomen
nonsensical number two uh at the montreal uh cognitive assessment this tool to assess whether or not you have early signs of dementia through understanding whether or not you can recall four words uh in a very basic type of uh test this is not something that you repeat frequently unless there's a neurologic reason to do so if there is a neurologic reason to do so
Fine.
In certain cases, you repeat the test, but if you're otherwise claiming to be normal, you're not repeating the Montreal cognitive assessment as often as he's claiming to do it, as though that's some sort of flex here.
It's not.
And I think he's being misdirected or he's just reading something and is being misinformed by himself.
And then three, lastly, just the fact that how he presents himself, whether it's the hand, is there something happening with that hand?
Is there an IV there that they're trying to cover up?
His pressurized, rambling, incoherent speech, when you take it all together,
reasonable people are asking reasonable questions these are not political questions these are basic medical questions that if they had a doctor that was not trying to editorialize and actually just present the facts these would be reasonable questions to get answers to and yet we're not saying that here's dr gupta again talking about the montreal cognitive exam let's play it
Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MOCA for short, which focuses on recall, memory loss, basic things.
Mild cognitive dysfunction is what it tends to sort of screen for.
