While Trump didn’t hand over the exact results, he handed over a summary that was put together by his longtime physician Dr. Harold Bornstein – the Lenox Hill Hospital doctor that wrote the last summary of the Republican presidential nominee’s health.

Trump’s campaign said the latest results were from a physical exam conducted by Bornstein on September 9.
Republican nominee Donald Trump shared a summary of the results of his latest physical with television host and doctor Mehmet Oz.
The letter from Bornstein is much more straightforward and professional than one he wrote for Trump in December 2015, in which he bizarrely proclaimed that Trump “would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Trump does not drink alcohol or use tobacco.
Bornstein had issued a letter on Trump’s health late past year that raised eyebrows due to its tone.
The details in the letter comes a day after his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, released her medical records and her doctor declared her “fit to serve as the President of the United States”.
“I feel as good today as I did when I was 30”, Trump said in a clip promoting the interview that is scheduled to air Thursday.
“The results of Trump’s medical, which he said he had several weeks prior to the show, state he is 236lbs (16st8lbs) and stands at 6’3”, giving him a BMI of 29.1 – which the NHS states is overweight. The doctor says Trump gets an annual physical every spring, and that the results of periodic tests including an EKG, chest X-ray, and colonoscopy have always been good – well within the normal range.
Trump’s campaign said the examination, with his longtime doctor Harold N. Bornstein, took place September 9.
Trump has at this point not released his medical records to journalists – CBS News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment and the timing of that release.
“Not knowing if we would see Mr. Trump’s medical records, I planned to do a full review of systems with Mr. Trump”.
