Dr. Oz said he will not ask Donald Trump “any questions he doesn’t want to have answered” when the Republican presidential nominee releases the results of his physical exam during a taping of “The Dr. Oz Show”. Oz also pledged not to ask Trump “questions he doesn’t want to be answered”.

Kilmeade also asked Oz about the December 4 letter Trump’s physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, wrote declaring that his patient was in “excellent” health – which he admitted typing in five minutes because “I had other people to see”.
Neither Trump nor Clinton has released detailed medical information during their campaigns, but both published statements a year ago from their personal physicians assuring the candidates were fit for the White House.
“The metaphor for me is it’s the doctor’s office, the studio”.
The episode will air Thursday.
Oz denied the allegations in the letter and said he understood he had “irritated some potential allies” in his “quest to make American healthy”. Still, Oz said he hoped to ask Trump “pointed questions about his health”.
The health of both candidates has become a key issue after Hillary Clinton nearly collapsed at a 9/11 memorial service on Sunday and had to be rushed away by aides. Her doctor revealed the next day, after footage surfaced of Clinton being helped into a van by secret service, that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, September 9.
“If he puts limitations, I’ll acknowledge them”, Oz said.
Trump’s doctor has admitted that his weird note – which said the 70-year-old mogul “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”- was dashed off in just five minutes. Clinton and her campaign have been blasted for the delay.
Although the television show is billing the interview as “a no-holds-barred conversation”, Oz offered that some subjects may be off the table. “It’s a – it’s a little out of the ordinary”.
‘But we have so many different ways of treating pneumonia now’.
The TV personality has also extended an invite to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whose recent pneumonia diagnosis has generated headlines.

Following her health scare Sunday, when she appeared to faint as she exited the 9/11 memorial ceremony early, Clinton, too, said she would release further healthcare records in the coming days.
