U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump has handed over a one-page summary of a recent physical examination on a doctor’s television show – but his campaign will not reveal what was disclosed.

He also discussed Trump’s family medical history, including occurrences of Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and cancer.
Katy Tur of NBC News tweeted: “Trump wont release medical records or results of his physical on Dr Oz”.
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.
Amid all the attention on Hillary Clinton’s health this week, Donald Trump sat down with host Dr. Mehmet Oz on Wednesday to reveal the results of a recent physical.
However, the Trump campaign has subsequently said the release will not come until later in the week after the Republican presidential nominee gets the results from his doctor.
Among the topics to be discussed will include Trump’s “physical activity, dietary habits, and broader health-related issues”, CNN said. One of the people that the CNN reporter spoke to from the Dr. Oz audience was Kelly Platt, who is interning to be a pharmacist.
The doctor who examined Trump was Dr. Harold Bornstein, according to a release by “The Dr. Oz Show”.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who is now battling pneumonia, is expected to release a more detailed medical report of her own in the near future.
The Republican presidential nominee’s campaign had said earlier Wednesday he wouldn’t be releasing on The Dr. Oz Show the results of a physical the 70-year-old candidate underwent last week. Although other members of the audience reported that Trump does not exercise, Platt said that he is such a good golfer that he could go pro with the PGA!
“The metaphor for me is, this it’s a doctor’s office – the studio, so I’m not going to ask him questions he doesn’t want to have answered and I also don’t want to talk about anybody else”, he said.
