Biden, 77, is healthy and fit to serve as president, his doctor says

Former Vice President Joe Biden is healthy enough to undertake the duties of the U.S. presidency, his doctor said on Tuesday in a health report released by the Democrat’s campaign.

Biden, 77, is one of 15 Democrats seeking their party’s nomination to run against Republican U.S. President Donald Trump next year in a battle in which the incumbent and the top three of his would-be opponents are all septuagenarians.

Biden, who suffered a brain aneurysm in 1988, has no symptoms of similar problems, and while his heart beats irregularly, he is “completely asymptomatic,” said Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who teaches medicine and directs the Executive Medicine program for George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates.

The former vice president is taking anticoagulant medication for his heart and Crestor for high cholesterol, O’Connor said. He has had no cancer other than “localized, non-melanoma skin cancers,” due to extended exposure to the sun as a younger man, nor any history of diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, angina or any neurologic disorder, the doctor’s report said.

“Vice President Biden is a healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” O’Connor wrote.

O’Connor has been Biden’s physician since 2009, when he was assigned as physician to the vice president, the report said.

Fit to serve as President of the geriatric psych ward, maybe.

My grandfather was healthy as a horse for years, of course he had alzheimer’s so he didn’t know who you were most of the time.

Joe is in a similar situation.

Kind of like this episode of TOS "Patterns of Force" (which was on in my locale last night)?

I knew what you meant; no problem. :-)

But I doubt that anyone else on this thread did, which is why I posted the tiny history lesson.

I wonder when mercury stopped being used to manufacture felt hats, though. It was that product that caused the mental deterioration of of hat makers.

"Aneurysm sham-eurysm," the Doctor added. "Vice President Biden has absolutely adequate brain function. See?"

Exactly. Apparently the examining physician didn’t look between Joe’s ears.
