Trump’s Doctor Attributes Hand Bruising to ‘Frequent Handshaking’

Washington: The White House has released a physician's memorandum asserting that US President Donald Trump is in 'excellent health' following his annual physical examination conducted on May 26 at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

According to Anadolu Agency, the memo, signed by Capt. Sean Barbabella, the physician to the president, noted that Trump's cardiac age is approximately 14 years younger than his actual age of 79, thanks to an AI-enhanced electrocardiogram analysis. It also highlighted that Trump achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a tool used for screening cognitive impairment, with no abnormalities found in his neurological examination.

The memorandum also addressed the noticeable bruising on Trump's hands, attributing it to "frequent handshaking," which it described as "a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy." Additionally, the memo detailed Trump's weight at 238 pounds and mentioned that he is on two cholesterol-controlling medications, along with aspirin, for cardiac prevention.

The memo concluded by stating that "President Trump remains in excellent health," affirming that he is "fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."
