Donald Trump\u2019s latest unwanted record is drawing concerning glances from the medical community. <\/p>\n

The oldest president ever elected turns 80 on Sunday and his body and mind are showing signs of wear and tear. Trump was brought to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, last month for his annual check-up and was scrutinized by 22 specialists. <\/p>\n

\n

The Washington Post reported that the number is nearly double the number of physicians involved in his last physical, a comparatively meager 14 doctors, and is also the highest number of specialists recorded at a single examination of a president. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Probed on this question on Thursday, the White House insisted to the Daily Beast that the aging president remains in \u201cexcellent health.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Dr. Jonathan Reiner is not so sure. \u201cIt\u2019s a very large number of docs, and I was struggling to outline a potential list of consultants that you would bring in that would fill up, you know, 22 slots,\u201d the longtime doctor to the late Vice President Dick Cheney said on The Lead with Jake Tapper<\/i> Thursday. <\/p>\n

He also raised concerns about the timeline of the visit on May 26. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously impossible for 22 different specialists to see the president during the three-hour visit to Walter Reed. Even if you only limited these visits to, you know, 15 minutes, that would only really account for about half of them. So, many of these evaluations are not done on the day of the president\u2019s evaluation, but they\u2019re done in the days or weeks leading up to that,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He noted that a memorandum from Trump\u2019s doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, said Trump\u2019s \u201ccomprehensive preventive evaluation included a thorough review of all diagnostic studies and laboratory testing conducted over the past year, as well as consultations with twenty-two specialty providers from multiple academic institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Barbabella said that that note really reflected a review of all the tests and labs that he\u2019s had in the prior year and the evaluation of 22 specialists. So, we really have no idea when the president was seen by these folks and nor do we know who he saw and for what reason. But it\u2019s a gigantic number and a lot of logistics are involved in getting 22 different specialists from three different universities to see the president. It\u2019s a big deal. And you would only bring someone in when they have something to add. You don\u2019t need to bring in someone to look at sort of a normal ear,\u201d Reiner explained. <\/p>\n

He noted that \u201ctypically the president sees specialists that represent potentially important or lethal problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consultants who come in, largely, are picked to evaluate a particular problem,\u201d he said. \u201cSo you would have an orthopedist see the president if he or she were complaining of discomfort in the knee. You might have a neurologist see the president if they were noting headaches or difficulty walking or some such issue. So typically, consultants are brought in not just to screen the president, but also to assess a problem. And there\u2019s no sense in the note from the president\u2019s physician of why these consultants reported to see him or who they were.\u201d <\/p>\n

Physicians connected to Harvard University, Duke University, and other prominent institutions helped with the evaluation.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Asked for an outside diagnosis, Reiner pored over the president\u2019s various issues. \u201cI\u2019m not sure there\u2019s a unifying diagnosis for all of them,\u201d he began. On Trump\u2019s cankles, he said: \u201cThe swelling, he did not have the swelling last year at his exam, that developed over the summer. So that\u2019s more of an acute process than a chronic process, although they\u2019ve called that chronic venous insufficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Onto the recurring bruising on Trump\u2019s hands. That \u201cis related to a medication the president takes. We\u2019ve been told by the president that he takes much more aspirin than his doctor recommends, four times as much. I don\u2019t know why he would do that, particularly if he was bruising,\u201d Reiner said.<\/p>\n

And one of Trump\u2019s more headline-grabbing issues: his propensity to fall asleep at public events, including Oval Office meetings. \u201cAs for his daytime somnolence, his sleepiness, you know, the White House can state that the president is blinking, but it\u2019s obvious to anyone who watches these press events that the president falls asleep and it\u2019s not really a mystery he doesn\u2019t sleep at night. He\u2019s up posting on social media in the middle of the night, but then, the net effect is that he\u2019s sleepy during the day, and this is a real concern,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
