President Biden declared "fit to serve" by his doctor after annual physical

President Biden had his annual physical yesterday, and his doctor says the results show he is fit to serve in the White House. Dr. Kevin O'Connor emphasized that, quote, an extremely detailed neurologic exam revealed no signs of trouble, but the president did not take a cognitive test. Nancy Cordes is at the White House. Nancy, good morning, what more do you know? What we know, Nate, is that Dr. O'Connor, the president's doctor, said that the only change in the president's health since last year is that he's now using a pap machine to help with his sleep apnea. Otherwise, the doctor said the president is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old. This physical was conducted at the Walter Reed Military Medical Center yesterday. At least 10 specialists were told examined Biden. Dr. O'Connor said the president's arthritis is moderate to severe, which causes him to walk with a stiffened gait that many have noticed, but the doctor said it isn't any worse than last year and doesn't require any additional treatment. Now, one test, as you mentioned, that the president did not undergo was any kind of cognitive test. White House press secretary told reporters that a neurologist determined that Mr. Biden did not need one. The bottom line in this three-page memo, Dr. O'Connor says that he has, quote, no new concerns about Biden's health despite constant assertions by Biden's political opponents about his health. Gail. Nancy, are you hearing that people were surprised that he was not asked to take a cognitive test? Is that just no big deal now? I think people were wondering about it, but apparently, according to his personal doctor and a neurologist, they didn't believe it was necessary. So he had a whole host of other tests and examinations, but that was something they didn't feel that they needed to look at. In fact, the White House press secretary says he gets a cognitive test every day in the Oval Office, basically based on the job that he does. Not quite the same. And the American people, they don't have MDs, but they will evaluate that latter test that Nancy was talking about. Exactly, exactly right. Thank you very much, Nancy.
