The physical was done September 9 by Dr. Harold N. Bornstein of New York City, the same doctor who raved about Trump’s health in a December statement.

The campaign said that Clinton’s physician found that the remainder of the Democratic presidential nominee’s complete physical exam was “normal” and she is in “excellent mental condition”.
The GOP nominee’s campaign released the one-page summary from Dr. Harold Bornstein, an internist and gastroenterologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, on the same day an interview with controversial TV host Dr. Mehmet Oz is airing.
Trump has at this point not released his medical records to journalists – CBS News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment and the timing of that release.
“She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest”, wrote Bardack, who also authored a letter about Clinton’s health released in July 2015. She’ll return to the campaign trail Thursday.
The letter also notes that in January, during the run-up to the Iowa caucuses, Clinton received treatment for a sinus and ear infection that included placing a drainage tube in her left ear. The Wednesday letter, written by Clinton’s personal physician Dr. Lisa Bardack, describes Clinton’s illness as “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia” as confirmed by a CT scan. But Trump openly discusses his love for steak, hamburger and fast food in general, and said on the Oz show Thursday that delivering his campaign speeches “is really a healthy act”. A chest x-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) in April were normal, and an echocardiogram in 2014 was “within the range of normal”, Bornstein wrote.
So how much does Trump weigh, anyway?
‘He does not use tobacco products or alcohol’.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70.
“I have every single test you can have and they were good”, Trump told Fox & Friends – adding that he probably would not have released them had they been otherwise. He also shared with Oz his daily habits of eating, activity level and other “broader health-related issues”, according to CNN News. The campaign says it will release detailed information from the exam later in the week.
Controversy over the health of both presidential candidates has increased in recent days, after Hillary Clinton fell ill at a 9/11 memorial service after being diagnosed with pneumonia – which she kept from the public.

Critics say Trump paints an overly bleak picture of life in urban African-American communities, where crime has fallen and the life expectancy has risen in recent decades.
