Trump no longer discussing medical exam on Dr. Oz

The Republican Party’s presidential nominee appeared on The Dr Oz Show for what his campaign team described as a chat about his general well-being and his family’s medical history.

Those are the highlights of Donald Trump’s medical condition chronicled in a summary released by the campaign Thursday, information that stopped well short of a comprehensive review of the candidate’s medical history. The statement did not provide additional specifics. It’s probably close to 30, which is sort of the barrier for most people. But one of them – Kelly Platt, a pharmacist intern who said she is a Trump supporter – said Trump told Oz that he is so good at golf he could join the PGA Tour. His campaign then released a one-page letter from his longtime physician that said a number of test results were normal.

Trump was reported as saying that he wishes he had more time to play golf and barely does anymore – but that he was good enough at it to be in the PGA. “He’s always happy to answer”.

Donald Trump has been a contentious presidential candidate ever since he entered the scene a year ago, making a plethora of statements that would have left essentially any other candidate dead in the water. Conway said that would be as soon as this week.

“She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest”, said her doctor, Lisa Bardack, in a letter released by her campaign. Oz Show on Thursday, September 15.

However, audience members later told reporters that Trump expressed a desire to lose weight.

During the hour-long taping, Trump also talked with Oz about his dietary habits and broader health-related issues.

“I know this – that Donald Trump will turn over those records right to Dr. Oz, and he will analyze it, and it will be a surprise to Donald Trump what Dr. Oz is going to say”, Kilmeade said, citing his earlier conversation with Oz. “The metaphor for me is, this is a doctor’s office, the studio”.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump takes the stage at a campaign rally at the Canton Memorial Civic Center on Wednesday in Canton, Ohio.

Oz is “unqualified to ask any critical questions” of Trump, said Campbell, who did not sign the letter but said he agreed with its content.

Trump was joined by his daughter, Ivanka, who also discussed Trump’s new proposals for making childcare more affordable.

In his interview Tuesday with “Fox and Friends”, Oz said he had never written a note like that and called it “out of the ordinary”.

“You’re 6’3″, 236 lbs.as I mentioned”, Oz said. “We’re not going to be talking about Secretary Clinton for sure”. Trump’s own health records still have not been made public in full.
