A doctor tells the Irish Star that he suspects that President Donald Trump's October MRI is not only sketchy, but that they may have scanned the wrong part of his body.
Dr. Jeff Foster, director of British men's health company Manual, says "the information provided gives a limited indication of cardiovascular health only. It doesn't even give a measure of heart disease."
Foster also notes that “an MRI scan may give information about heart size, and heart failure, but you cannot see if arteries are blocked or damaged (it is not an angiogram), you cannot see if he has high cholesterol, diabetes or even high blood pressure."
While Trump feigned ignorance over what the MRI was for, after much pressure from the public and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), the White House released information about "advanced imaging tests," about which his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, stated the results were "perfectly normal" and indicated he remains in "excellent overall health."
On Tuesday, Trump was seen with two large Band-Aids on his hands, where he is prone to bruising, the Daily Beast reports.
Dr. John Gartner, a former assistant professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, has said that Trump exhibits "clinical signs of dementia" which may be exacerbating an underlying personality disorder.
Gartner, who hosts a podcast called "Shrinking Trump" where he and other mental health professionals discuss these observations and the potential dangers they pose, also says Trump is experiencing a "gross, progressive deterioration" of his cognitive function.
Barbabella said the scans were of Trump's cardiovascular systemcardiovascular system and abdomen, but Foster remains skeptical and even questions the accuracy of the scan's alleged targets.
“Most importantly, if the question is related to brain function and questions over competency, you have simply scanned the wrong area," Foster says.
