CNN Doctor Dives Into Trump’s ‘Laughable’ MRI Explanation: ‘Why Not Just Spell It Out?’
HuffPost
Dr. Jonathan Reiner called the official explanation “evasive, almost laughable” during an appearance Monday on "News Central."
CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner on Monday reacted to the latest “laughable” news surrounding President Donald Trump and his apparent health issues, and started with the confusing comments from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Trump visited Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, in October for his second “yearly” check-up this year. Leavitt told reporters Monday that he had a “preventative MRI” to examine his heart and abdomen, which Reiner firmly objected to on “News Central.”
“Well, there really is no preventative cardiac MRI,” he told guest host Boris Sanchez.
“This is not a standard test for an 80-year-old man to undergo advanced imaging,” Reiner continued. “Boris, the whole note has kind of a weird and defensive, evasive tone to it. First of all, this is not part of the president’s comprehensive physical examination.”
Reiner noted that Trump had a check-up in April and another in July. Trump recently told reporters that the doctor gave him the “best result.” His physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, said Monday that the president is in “excellent health.”
