It's a race...

There is no question Trump’s health has deteriorated markedly during the last 8 to 10 months. One of my jobs as a dentist who basically operates above the clavicle is to survey the general health of the patient as they enter and seat themselves in the room. I am generally present for many of my patients and observe them carefully as they maneuver themselves, placing their coat or their hand bag somewhere, seating themselves, and watch their general deportment and composure.

Because I see people in intervals ranging From 3 to 6 months, I can note changes in their behavior because it’s so happens that I have a very strong visual memory. When I watch Trump walk, turn his head, move his arms, and also observe his general posture, there is no question that there have been significant changes recently.

In my experience, having spoken to many many patients who have cardiovascular issues or cerebrovascular events, they will remark that for sometime prior other day or family members noticed and commented upon alterations in their general movements, attention span, preoccupation with certain motor issues, and the like. What must’ve happened that day did he was rushed to Walter Reed is that he exhibited in acute symptom of some sort, possibly confusion, possibly inability to perform a simple task such as sitting down or opening a drawer, or he had a fugue state and the doctor was called. They would thus have to do scans immediately. The fact that he was able to walk on his own is not unusual after an episode. I just hAd a patient have a severe TIA in my office and tried to walk out. We stopped him and made him wait for the EMT’s, and it was a good thing we did, because shortly after the TIA’s, during his observation in the hospital, he developed a stroke-in-progress which they intercepted and saved him.

I’m awaiting the major event, it is a time bomb with a fuse of indeterminate length, and he knows it. That’s why the typical projection onto a relatively healthy Biden. This is what he and his minions do and have done for decades.

1. I agree, watching him with that glass reminded me of my Dad who had TIA's before his major stroke.

His walk and carriage of his body look similar as well. I agree it is just a matter of time.

2. I wonder just how long they will be able to prop him up.

The fact that his children do not intervene reveals just how much his remaining in office under the cover of the shield. of immunity means for all of them.

My dad was the victim of several TIA's that landed him in the hospital and I was intimately involved in his recovery and progression of each event. The final one had him hospitalized for several days. He was scheduled for release the day he got out of bed to go to the bathroom unassisted and he suffered a massive stroke that deprived him of the use of his left side. He ended up in a nursing facility for three years before he passed.

I have posted about my observations of 45 and my experience with these symptoms. He is not a well man... not well at all.

Oh and FWIW... Go Eagles.

3. Campaigns are Stressful

Would be a damn shame if he stroked out and died before he can be prosecuted.

4. Off topic but...I worked for a DMD for 21 years.

I remember WAY back in the day when our Dr. began taking blood pressure readings of all patients who came into the office... whether it was a prophy, denture adjustment or a more complicated procedure. People howled about it! All employees at the practice had to be certified in CPR and we had a plan of action if/when a patient had any event. We practiced it regularly. In 21 years, we had to use our emergency plan twice. Once for a heart attack and once for a stroke. Both patients survived. It was helpful that our office was on a hospital campus. I also recall our Dr. postponing a procedure based on a extraordinarily high BP reading. He put that patient in a wheelchair and walked them across the parking lot to the ER himself. That patient ended up needing a quad bypass.

Back to the subject at hand, you’re probably right, the MF is a time bomb waiting to go off. Like several DUers have said...I want him gone and I no longer care how.

5. Us too...

Same deal.

Any idea of the number of cases of undiagnosed hypertension we found? Hundreds over 40 years.

6. As did we.

As the treatment coordinator I transcribed countless letters to physicians referring patients for a cardiac work up.
