Following his first yearly medical since taking office again, the doctor of President Donald Trump praised the 78-year-old as fit to serve.
“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” wrote Dr. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president.
Following Trump’s Friday visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his yearly physical before leaving town for the weekend, the White House sent the memo on Sunday.
The examination in detail Trump stands six feet three inches tall and weighs 224 pounds.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Barbabella wrote.
“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being,” he added.
The president’s “frequent victories in golf events” were highlighted in the memo, which also acknowledged his hectic schedule and appearances.
According to the physical report, Trump’s resting heart rate was 62 beats per minute and his blood pressure was 128/74 mmHg.
After consulting with fourteen specialists, we carried out Friday’s examination, which involved laboratory and diagnostic testing. It stated that several tests were all normal.
“Examination of the head, ears, nose and throat revealed no significant abnormalities with the exception of scaring on the right ear from a gunshot wound,” the memo stated.
The medical report was the first public information on Trump’s health since the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. However, there were no additional details regarding the impact of the occurrence beyond mentioning the scar.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a simple 10-minute test for mild cognitive impairment, was used to evaluate his cognitive abilities, and the findings showed that he scored a normal 30 out of 30.
He had previously completed the test. During his first tenure, the president also took the cognitive test. Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician, reported that Trump received a score of 30 out of 30 on the January 12, 2018, test.
According to the memo, the president is taking four medications: Aspirin, Mometasone cream when necessary for a skin issue, and Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol control.
It said that every vaccination the president has advised is up to date, including those for travel.
In January, Trump became the oldest person in American history to be inaugurated in as president.
He spent about five hours at Walter Reed for his first yearly physical of his second term.
His new personal doctor, Barbabella, who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq and has a wealth of battle trauma knowledge, performed the examination.
“Overall, I felt I was in very good shape. A good heart, a good soul, a very good soul,” Trump told reporters while traveling to Florida on Friday after his exam.
He also touted taking a cognitive test, claiming “I got every answer right.”
“I was there for a long time,” Trump said before the results were released. “I think I did very well.”
The document was circulated over Trump’s weekend in Mar-a-Lago, where the president spent Sunday at his golf club.
