is appropriate and perhaps revealing, but damn...(my first impression)...
If given his recent appearances and overt sundowning, facial droop, wide right leg swing, semantic paraphasia (confusing words or partial words that sound like others), bizarre meandering discussions (that end on him focusing on a single disparate comment unrelated to the rest), obvious confusion episodes--some that leave him seconds or minutes of blank stare, and on and on, there are few critical aspects of his current state for which a CT would be the better choice than the far more diagnostic (and yes, costly--but that is obviously not a factor) MRI. A combative patient for whom that is not practical, maybe not, or one who has internal metal devices or bullet fragments, no, but...? Not to mention, I cannot imagine the White House does not have immediate access to a portable CT scanner (mobile truck), while an MRI is far more likely to require that trip to Walter Reed. But, for me, the bottom line is that for most of his observable and most critical suspect issues, an MRI is going to be the far superior diagnostic scanning procedure. Yes, I suppose contrast CT (with dye) would afford a few more indications for its use, but I can't imagine Trump would not mention the dye as he does his stupid swiping arm movements.
That said, Trump SHOULD have access to the best specialists at Walter Reed, so I think we get nearly ZERO of the REAL STORY... But, if they are somehow focusing on working up his multiple osteoarthritic joints as the priority and near exclusion of all else (as has been suggested by other "medical" analysts) over everything else because of Trump's vanity-driven mobility concerns on camera, then that is just unbelievable medical malpractice--both to him and the country at large.
Going to end this with one collective
so as not to make it permanent. LOL
