Donald Trump surprised the audience gathered Wednesday to watch him tape an hour-long interview for “The Dr. Oz Show” when he revealed the results of a recent physical exam just hours after an aide told news outlets he wouldn’t talk about the exam.

Donald Trump is overweight and takes a drug for his cholesterol levels but is in otherwise “excellent physical health”, according to a new one-page letter released on Thursday by the GOP nominee’s New York City doctor. “His Doctor Oz charade is as completely unserious as his original joke of a letter written in five minutes”, Mook said.
Trump’s last colonoscopy was done in July 2013, which Bornstein said was “normal and revealed no polyps”. “I don’t know”, Trump said. While saying he was “lucky”, Donald also said that it was his duty to not get sick!
“Well, I really have no problem in doing it”, Trump said, according to a clip released by the show on Wednesday afternoon, reported Washington Post.
“Hopefully they’re going to be good”, he said. Oz did not examine Trump and only reviewed on the show what the Republican candidate chose to share with him.
Facing criticism about her lack of disclosure, she’s agreed to release more health information soon.
The physical was conducted by Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, the same doctor who previously said Trump would be the healthiest president in history.
“I have to be very boring for you”, Trump said.
Clinton’s well-being has been particularly scrutinized after she stumbled into a van on September 11 when she abruptly left a memorial event in NY.
The inclusion of the word “uninterrupted” is seen as a shot at Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, who recently had to halt her campaign activities after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
Trump’s only other admission about his personal health came in the form of a letter from Bornstein in December that contained few specifics, but included broad hyperbole. “Additionally, as all physicians do when seeing a patient for the first time, Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump through a full review of systems”.

Dr. Lisa Bardack added that Clinton is “recovering well with antibiotics and rest” after she became overheated, dehydrated and felt dizzy at the ceremony on Sunday. While he has been Mr. Trump’s personal physician for over 30 years, he was also the doctor who wrote a letter that raised eyebrows for stating he would be the healthiest president ever.
