HEALTHCARE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump‘s unscheduled weekend visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center prompted days of widespread rumors about the president’s health. His doctor now says it was all routine. Dr. Sean P. Conley, physician to the president, used a memo released by the White House late Monday [11-18-19] night to refute speculation that Trump had suffered from chest pain or another serious issue that led him to suddenly depart the White House by motorcade on Saturday [11-16-19] afternoon. Conley wrote in the memo to the press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, that Trump was not treated for any urgent issues. He said Trump’s visit to the medical center was for a regular check-up and that ‘scheduling uncertainties’ kept the visit off the record. Trump ‘did not undergo any specialized neurologic or cardiac evaluations,” Conley wrote. He said he would continue to check in on the president, including a ‘more comprehensive examination after the New Year.’”
