In a statement released after the show was taped, the “Dr. Oz” show said that Trump “shared with Dr. Oz the results of his physical examination performed last week by Dr. Harold Bornstein, M.D. of Lennox Hill Hospital, whom has been Mr. Trump’s personal physician for many years”.

The statement said the physical exam Trump shared was performed last week by Dr. Harold Bornstein, Trump’s personal physician, who in a letter past year proclaimed that Trump would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Bornstein’s letter was viewed skeptically by the medical community for its hyperbole – he said Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency” – and for its lack of specifics, referring only to “positive” test results.
Keeping the tax returns under wraps also makes it hard to prove Trump’s claim that he’s given millions to charity, “I’m a good person, i give money to charity, a lot of money to charity”.
Rival Hillary Clinton has criticized Trump for failing to share much about his medical records while calling for her own.
The disclosure comes as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recovers from pneumonia.
Donald Trump spoke Wednesday at a church in Flint, Mich., to make a speech on helping where the government had failed the people of the town after a water quality crisis began in April 2014.
– Donald Trump publicly released his medical records for the first time on The Dr. Oz Show which was recorded Wednesday and is set to air Thursday. He plays golf with Tom Brady “and when I’m with him I feel the same age as him”, Trump boasted. Host Dr. Mehmet Oz asked Trump about what the latter would put in place of the Affordable Care Act, something the candidate has had some harsh words for in the past. The audience also reported that Trump said his cholesterol is down thanks to the drug Statin.
The presidential candidate is back on the campaign trail with a series of rallies and speeches in NY and Washington.
It was the second time since last December that the Trump campaign had released public documentation about Trump’s health.
Trump told the group most “politicians ignore your cries, but I never will”.
“What if there’s some embarrassing things on there?” And he agreed with one woman’s suggestion that the intolerant rhetoric of the presidential campaign was “very unhealthy” and “very bad” for the country’s mental health, and “we really have to come together as a country”.
“It’s his decision”, Oz told FOX News Radio’s Kilmeade & Friends earlier this week.
“It’s his decision”, Oz said.
Trump’s daytime TV chat about health and wellness seemed like a savvy political stunt.
The doctor’s letter did not reveal Clinton’s height or weight, and campaign officials declined to provide them.
The appearance with Oz came hours before Trump was to visit Flint, Michigan to condemn the government failure which led to that city’s water crisis.
Bardack said Clinton is up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia – Prevnar and Pneumovax.

But since she stumbled leaving a 9/11 commemoration ceremony on Sunday morning, Trump has been careful not to question Clinton’s health directly.
