President Trump's physical exam this week will not include a psychiatric evaluation, the White House said Monday.
"No," White House spokesman Hogan Gidley told reporters on Air Force One who asked whether Trump will undergo a psychiatric exam.
Gidley would not expand on what the exam will involve. The White House has said that physician Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson will issue a public report on the results.
Trump, 71, is scheduled to undergo a routine physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington, D.C.
The checkup comes amid swirling questions about whether Trump is mentally fit to serve as commander in chief following a bombshell book that portrays chaos in his White House.

You know there is no way he can do that, right?

(51,632 posts)The do referrals to other doctors in other fields if they see it is necessary. Of course the patient has the final choice of following through on that advice or not.
Considering the Moron's history of doctors (questionable) he will not get that sort of referral and if he does he won't follow up with it since he is a stable genius.

However, I doubt we will ever be told the full results -- oh, Rachel says the Dr Admiral is responsible for making them public. But only as much as the patient allows. Hm.
