He told Dr. Oz that some women “just aren’t in a position to go get a prescription” and that they shouldn’t have to.

When US presidential candidate Donald Trump looks in the mirror, he says he sees a man of 35 looking back.
In it, the billionaire shared the results of his medical exam with TV personality Mehmet Oz and discussed his well-being and approach to health. Trump said his dad’s heart “wouldn’t stop”. The Washington Post has reported that an exchange in which Trump talked about kissing his daughter, Ivanka, was cut.
Additionally, although Trump reportedly says in the show that he has high testosterone levels, according to the document it is at 441.6, when the average for a 70-year-old man is around the 500 mark.
The Clinton campaign released her health records Wednesday, which showed her numbers to be within healthy ranges as well.
Trump said he “noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me”.
“Should I do it? I don’t care. Should I do it?”
Trump has annual physical exam in the spring of every year, and his last colonoscopy, chest X-ray and cardiac evaluation were results.
“In summer, Trump is in excellent physical health”, Dr Harold N Bornstein said in a one-page medical report dated September 13.
Other results: triglycerides 61, PSA 0.15, blood pressure 116/70, blood sugar 99, and C Reactive Protein UQ 0.7.
“If you really want to make a real statement about a candidate’s health, you need more information”, he said.
“I guess that’s a form of exercise”, he added.
Oz had peppered Trump with his own version of a checkup, running through a long but rapid list, asking whether Trump had had a stroke, any “lung complaints”, “bladder or prostate issues”, and “personal cancer”. It’s tough because of the way I live, but the one thing I would like to do is be able to drop 15, 20 pounds.
Trump said in a phone interview with “Fox and Friends” that he is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds – giving him a body mass index falling into the “overweight” range.
Clinton on Wednesday had released a much more complete medical report than Trump in which she revealed that she takes medication to control hypothyroidism, to prevent blood clots – a problem implicated in the fainting spell she suffered in 2012 – and to control allergies, along with vitamin B-12 and medications to control infections as needed. He also disclosed that the last time he had been in hospital was at the age of 11 to have his appendix removed.
