1. I want to know about diagnostic tests done or avoided, meds taken and doses, prognosis given at

time of diagnosis and at recurrences.

McCain points to his mom when ever he is questioned about his health.

The better comparison to be made, if there is one, would be to his dad.

8. His father died at 70

and his grandfather died at 61. The longevity appears to be on the mother's side.

13. Doctors Call On McCain To Release Medical Records (VIDEO)

A group of doctors have signed this petition urging John McCain to release his medical records:
John McCain has not yet released his medical records to the public. McCain is 72 years old, and has been diagnosed with invasive melanoma. In May of this year, a small group of selected reporters were allowed to review 1,173 pages of McCain's medical records that covered only the last eight years, and were allowed only three hours to do so. John McCain's health is an issue of profound importance. We call on John McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all of his medical records, available for the media and members of the general public to review.

Watch a video of doctors explaining why McCain should listen:

2. Cancer? Kidney Disease? Arthritis?

I'm more concerned that the man is mentally unbalanced. And I think he was already unbalanced BEFORE he was a captive in Vietnam. And he was certainly more unbalanced AFTER.




K&R!!!

3. K&R - I posted the link for action on this in GD

Unfortunately it isn't salacious enough (no sex) so it's not getting much attention.

6. Thanks for the link, I sent it to the greatest...

It's true what you say, good threads on action are sometimes overlooked on DU for some reason.

7. This seems like a critical issue IMO

I'm not sure why folks are overlooking this.

4. America demands an Alzheimers test of McCain

5. Very disturbing. McCain is a sick man. Just because he is

still breathing does not mean he is well. The medications that he must be taking to control his many ailments are bound to affect his brain functions. Add in the age factor and you have a person who is not funtioning ideally to take on a job that requires a healthy mind and body.

18. McCain is probably taking a variety of drugs. Possibly for

high blood pressure, arthritis medications, cancer meds and lord knows what else. Some older people on multiple prescription have to put up with problems of drowsiness, memory laspses, and other side effects, plus the obvious age related problems.

12. This is the most important reason for voting against the guy.

He has an incredible number of medical problems, one more serious than the other. I know people older than he with fewer such medical problems. He is not qualified to be president, to take on the enormous stress of the presidency. He simply does not have the health to qualify for the job.

And this puts Palin's ignorance and lack of preparation for the office of the presidency in even more stark perspective.

A McCain presidency would be a horror. We just cannot let this happen to our country.

The Bush presidency has been chaotic and troubled enough. No McCain, No How. No Way. Not Now.

16. I am surprised the RNC gave the nod to McCain given how ill the man is

Maybe they want him to croak, and then have an even bigger puppet in Sarah Palin run things for the corporations.

19. Memory loss?

As a Clinical Psychologist I am quite concerned about McCain's memory. In recent interviews, he has frequently been quite curt with the interviewers, referring them to his books, or to his website. At first I thought he was just being himself-after all he does have a reputation of being short-tempered. But I am now starting to think these referrals to books, websites, etc, might be his attempt to cover up the fact that he just can't remember the details of what he is being asked. This type of covering is one of the signs of memory impairment.
If he is suffering from memory loss, combined with a reputation as a hot-head,I truly fear for this great nation of ours if he does get elected.
Let us have a real look at his medical records-and let's get a memory test in there too.
