They also didn't test him for Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome. And for the exact same reason, there were no indications to justify that test.

If he can say ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ then he passes the super difficult cognitive test that republicans think is the equivalent of the MCAT.
Yeah, but can he say "Nuclear?" /s
I think you mean if he can tell which one is the whale or giraffe if we’re going Chump standards.
It’s not part of my annual physical? Maybe a basic dementia screening for the elderly, but idk why they’d do a full assessment.
They’d only do a full assessment if the screening suggested it was necessary.
This is to say Biden isn’t that bad. Trump, on the other hand, the screening said “yup gotta see how bad it is.”… only in medical babble.
Meanwhile in rape-rape-fraud-steal-democracy land everything is going a-okay!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Biden got his latest physical on Wednesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — an evaluation that the White House said drew on the expertise of 20 doctors but did not involve a cognitive exam.
The summary of the exam will be closely scrutinized since Biden, now 81, is the oldest person ever to hold the office of U.S. president, and voters have expressed concern that he is too old for a second four-year term in the job.
Biden's medical reports from November 2021 and February 2023 also did not include any references to tests or evaluations of his memory or cognition.
The White House has since taken pains to show Biden managing a busy schedule of campaign travel and other public appearances, where he often tries to use humor to reassure people about his age.
Last week, at a fundraising event in Beverly Hills, Calif., Biden joked with donors that "I may not run as fast as I used to" but said that his age has brought him "a little bit of wisdom about how we can get things done."
Biden has also added one over-the-counter medicine to his regime: Nexium, for acid reflux, which O'Connor said causes his frequent throat clearing.
The original article contains 587 words, the summary contains 205 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
