U.S. President Donald Trump's health exam called “spectacular” amid mounting concerns
U.S. President Donald Trump underwent his third physical examination in 13 months at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, described the results as “spectacular,” calling the exam routine and noting the president’s “remarkable strength.” The White House released a three‑page memo from Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, which recorded slight lower‑leg swelling and benign hand bruising but overall deemed the president’s health “excellent.”
Medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner of CNN urged the White House to make Trump’s physician available for press questions, citing lingering concerns about the repeat coronary artery CT scan and the president’s prolonged absence from public events. Reiner asked why another scan was performed only six months after the previous one and called for greater transparency regarding the president’s health assessments.
