Why?
Did he get a full body MRI?
Because that's in vogue amongst a certain sub-segment of society, and they just reported the cardiac and the abdominal findings.
Okay.
Then why did they leave out everything else?
Did they just get a torso MRI?
Why?
There is no clinical guideline that exists.
And again, these are the most credentialed radiologists in the country.
I challenge anybody to find a group of folks that is more credentialed and more accomplished and knows what to do and when to do MRIs than the folks I've spoken with.
no one is aware of any type of screening guideline to say, yes, as you age, get an MRI of the heart and of your abdomen.
When I think about the president from say 2015, 2016, his first campaign, vigorous, looked different, looked younger, clearly his age significantly been in the last eight to 10 years, there's a noticeable change.
And first and foremost, he's old and he's showing signs of older age and advanced, and I'd say accelerated aging because
his most stressful job in the world.
There's a good reason for it, but he's now held it twice.
He had a pretty controversial four years when he was out of office.
So he's dealt with a lot of stress, self-created in some cases or because of his job, but he has clearly declined.
uh a wakefulness you know he sleeps he slept through part of uh the last hhs secretary's announcement on weight loss drugs it was pretty noticeable he seemed sort of altered and not really interested in helping out when that person collapsed he was sort of dissociated from that entire
uh sort of melee there uh so he does feel like he's is it seems like he's less alert at times again older age demanding job just taking its toll chronic venous insufficiency is something that impacts people especially as they get older so that's a physical manifestation of older age his decreased wakefulness
also a manifestation of that.
