Trump To Undergo ‘Routine’ Yearly Medical Exam At Walter Reed

 

The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump will have a normal medical exam on Friday when he goes to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump will visit the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and meet with troops there.

“On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops,” Leavitt said in a statement. “While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly checkup. He will then return to the White House.”

Leavitt went on to say that Trump is also thinking of “going to the Middle East shortly thereafter.” The visit might happen when Hamas agrees to the first part of Trump’s peace offer, which would halt the fighting in Gaza and free the hostages.

This year, Trump will have his second medical checkup. In April, he got a similar checkup, and his doctor said he was “still in excellent health.”

“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the physician to the president, said at the time.

In July, doctors found that the president had chronic venous insufficiency, a vein ailment. Leavitt claimed at the time that Trump had seen “mild swelling” in his lower thighs and had been looked at by the White House medical staff.

Chronic venous insufficiency happens when the veins in the legs have trouble letting blood flow back to the heart.
