MRIs are definitely not part of a typical physical.

But when you trumpet that MRIs are for strokes and heart problems, only—you reveal a serious lack of knowledge.

I’ve had eight MRIs for a variety of reasons. None of them have to do with stroke or my heart.

In fact, I’m scheduled to have another MRI because I have serious problems with my back that involve nerve inflammation. I have a diffuse spinal stenosis and lumbar stenosis. The pain is coming from my lumbar region and I just had an ablation on both sides and the ablations failed. My symptoms are now worse than they were prior to the nerve ablations that were done on my back.

So, now I’m going to have an MRI on my back because the latest one I have is from 2022. As my pain management doctor said— something has changed. The nerve ablations in my lumbar region should have worked. But they didn’t.

It’s safe to say that we are all dreaming of a day when Trump is no longer with us. That he had an MRI during his last “checkup” indicates that something is going on with his heart and/or brain. Probably.

So yes, Karoline Leavitt and the entire administration are lying to you. It goes without saying the Trump is lying to you because that is what he does. he is an old man that has old man issues. He is showing the signs of having had a stroke.

I think all of this talk about a third term is very much wishful thinking on the part of Trump and his acolytes. I don’t think he’s going to make it through this term. But I don’t think any of us know when the end is going to come— even the skilled physicians at Walter Reed.

My son is scheduled for two MRIs and two scans for brain and lungs. None of them are for heart or stroke.
Unfortunately my son's are for acc cancer.

Cancer is a bitch and rare cancers are the worst. There are few treatments and very little research.
