Sanders set to release medical history by end of year,,has he..???

[Iamaartist]

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign says it still plans to release the 78-year-old Vermont senator’s health records along with a letter from his doctor by the end of December.
Sanders pledged to make his medical history public on Oct. 24, a week after returning to the campaign trail after suffering a heart attack.
“I want to make it comprehensive,” Sanders told the Associated Press at the time. “The answer is I will, probably by the end of the year

end of Dec is here.....Joe Has......I think most Candidates have.....

[shotten99]

1. Reagan took a bullet to the chest and showed signs of senility and Alzheimer's.

Regardless who the nominee will be, this should be the answer.

[Iamaartist]

4. Everybody was after Joe to do so...

[shotten99]

5. You're right, they did.

IMHO, the nominee from both sides will be older than we are used to. It would be ideal to have someone younger, but I don't see it happening this time around. In that case, I'd say it's time to put this issue aside and focus on other issues and beating Trump in November.

[Hortensis]

25. Agree, after sensibly looking at medical reports. As for mental

condition, we have no reason to believe Biden isn't the same person he always was, same type of occasional gaffs in speaking he's made for years. To my mind, he's seemingly tougher and less of a too-agreeable marshmallow after dealing with what his old buddies, the Republicans, have become in this century, but that's just development through experience.

As for Sanders, at one time I read everything I could find on and by him (thinking I might be able to support him after Warren declined to run in 2015), and my takeaway was no change in thinking. I think it would be a mistake to assume his deflecting to the same few standard statements in appearance after appearance might indicate dementia because they've been essentially the same for several decades. His family history doesn't indicate a predisposition to dementia, his passions are also still as revolutionary and national in scale as they always were, and, above all, that rigid thinking that might make one wonder has characterized him for 50 years.

Finally, questionable and bizarre as it may seem, Sanders' belief that Democrats are mostly just Republicans with hypocritical conceits of being better can't indicate age-related decline because, again, he's always believed that. And that rigid, unwavering conviction has always played a major role in his personal identity and ideology. Nothing new.

[Renew Deal]

2. Does his doctor also have his taxes?

[Iamaartist]

3. lol

[NurseJackie]

6. I'm sure he has them in his possession. What's the delay? How hard can it be to...

I'm sure he has them in his possession. What's the delay? How hard can it be to scan or photograph them and make a PDF?

I'll be very disappointed if the document shows signs of manipulation, font variations, white-out, black-out, or other redactions.

So basically, what I'm feeling is ████████████████ ████████ ████ ████████ ████████ ████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ and ████████ ████████ with ████████ ████ ████████. And that's all I have to say about that.

[Iamaartist]

7. I agree...

[NYMinute]

11. ...

His CPA is doing the final calculations on his BP, heart rate, LVEF and GFR. Plus, his doctor is a "little bit busy"

[NurseJackie]

13. I wonder if there's such a thing as Turbo-Doctor from Quicken!

[George II]

14. ...

24. I'm sure Jane is on the job.

20. And if you don't like what's in some of the pages, just insert other fuzzy ones, like 9 and 10 here:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/pdfs.taxnotes.com/2019/B_Sanders_2016.pdf

[BlueMTexpat]

8. This reminds me of

his pledges to make his tax returns public in 2016. Never happened.

He seems to have a pattern of not honoring his pledges. That, to me is more serious than anything else.

[Iamaartist]

10. Agree. also.....

[George II]

15. But he wants us to trust him as our president.

[RazBerryBeret]

78. Pretty sure

he releases his taxes last August. 10 years of taxes.
I remember reading about his wealth, and then the GOP made a big deal about him being a millionaire...
There were lots of threads here about it as well.

[NYMinute]

9. Did he mention which year?

I am not holding my breath. The promised tax returns didn't materialize for 4 years and even then they were suspicious.

[Iamaartist]

12. On medical records ...was to be the end of Dec 2019....not holding my breath either...

[RazBerryBeret]

79. August 2019 n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

18. But his taxes... oh, nevermind, that one didn't work either!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[George II]

19. ...

[Iamaartist]

21. LOL

[TidalWave46]

22. Seems to be logistical issues when it comes to getting Harold Bornstein and Sanders together. NT

[Lexee]

23. I figure he is waiting for the best "clean bill of health" report he can get before putting out how

serious his medical issues were and the damage to his heart.

[BannonsLiver]

35. That's fine

But for most people the idea of an 80 year old man fresh of a heart attack taking on a highly stressful job is suboptimal regardless of what “records” are “released”.

That’s one of the many many reasons Bernie will not be the nominee and will not be president.

[Lexee]

37. As important as this election is, and the times we are in, his inability to hire good people,

that his campaigned would have died.

[BannonsLiver]

38. The hires are another reason he'd never get my primary vote

[Lexee]

39. There are so many reasons for a Democrat not to vote for him in the primary.

[BannonsLiver]

40. Yes, starting with the fact he's not a Democrat.

[Lexee]

41. Right off the bat.

[OnDoutside]

26. Are his health records under audit ? That would explain it....

[Eric J in MN]

27. Yes.

Link to tweet

?s=21

[getagrip_already]

48. That is a JOKE, right?

That reads like trumps medical release.

It's not a health record, it's an opinion. How about the stats? How about a board certified review?

[Eric J in MN]

61. Stats

According to the letter from Dr. Monahan, Mr. Sanders’s most recent physical examination, on Dec. 19, showed that he was 6 feet tall and 174 pounds. His blood pressure was 102/56, with a pulse of 62 beats per minute. His total cholesterol was 117 milligrams per deciliter of blood, HDL cholesterol (or “good” cholesterol) was 32 milligrams, and LDL cholesterol (or “bad” cholesterol) was 58 milligrams.

[Autumn]

74. I'm impressed that he's off the blood thinners s and beta blockers so soon after his heart attack.

“Your heart muscle strength has improved. You have never had symptoms of congestive heart failure. The heart chamber sizes, wall thickness, estimated pressures, and heart valves are normal. Several 24-hour recordings of your heart electrical activity indicated no significant heat rhythm abnormality.”

[YOHABLO]

28. Another thread of Bernie Bashing. Shame.

[BannonsLiver]

29. Is this like when he wouldn't release his taxes because he couldn't "find them"?

[Autumn]

30. Have Biden and Warren released theirs yet?

[R B Garr]

31. Neither has had a near fatal heart attack such

as Sanders suffered.

[Lexee]

33. Correct. And yes, Biden did.

[R B Garr]

45. Yes, thank you. But I would bet the poster probably knew that but wanted to

distract.

[Lexee]

51. Ah. Ty.

[Autumn]

55. Do you have a link to Biden's released medical records?

[ChubbyStar]

34. Near Fatal?

Were you at his bedside Dr. Garr?

[R B Garr]

44. Now you're going to trivialize heart attacks.

More proof that Bernie needed to release his medical records before other candidates who have not suffered debilitating cardiac arrests.

[ChubbyStar]

46. Now you're going to make baseless accusations?

How sweet, please take to your finger wagging and do it in front of a mirror. Thanks!

[R B Garr]

47. Yours was the baseless accusation.

Let's not trivialize heart attacks. Thanks.

[ChubbyStar]

50. I never said anything of the sort

But keep telling yourself that, now my dog needs to take a shit, and that is profoundly more interesting than chatting with you. Bye

[R B Garr]

52. I don't need to be a DOCTOR to understand what a heart attack means.

My 91-year-old stepfather has never had a heart attack. Bernie is 78 and had a heart attack. Stents and days of hospitalization. Where are his medical records?

[Autumn]

54. You should look up information on Bidens aneurysms and the blood clots in his lungs.

Much more serious than a slight heart attack and stents.

[R B Garr]

56. from the 80's. You have to go back to the 80's, but Biden did release

his medical records. Sanders is a 78-year-old man who had a heart attack in October of this year -- two months ago.

[Autumn]

53. You are wrong. Biden came close enough to death to be given his last rites when

he had a blood clot in the lungs and a couple of life-threatening brain aneurysms. You don't get much nearer to death than those. If I want anyone's heath records its his.

[R B Garr]

57. You have to go back to the 80's for this whataboutism. Joe was 30 years younger,

but, regardless, he did release his medical records. I bet you are aware that Biden already released his medical records, though, so this is just a distraction. Squirrel.

Sanders is a 78-year-old man who just had a heart attack two months ago.

[Autumn]

58. So what. People go back to the 70's on Bernie. Sanders is in very good shape after his heart attack

Bernie underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance test December 11. His overall test performance “rated above average compared to a reference population of the same age,”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-in-good-health-after-heart-attack-doctors-say/

Washington — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was declared to be in good health by his primary physician and fit for the presidency by two cardiologists after suffering a heart attack in early October.

Sanders, a senator from Vermont, released letters from the three doctors Monday, following through on his plan to disclose his health records by the end of the year.
Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician to Congress, said in one letter that Sanders, 78, is "in good health" and has been "engaging vigorously in the rigors of your campaign, travel, and other scheduled activities without any limitation."

Records released by Sanders' campaign reveal the senator underwent a physical examination December 19 and a treadmill stress test with continuous EKG monitoring December 11. The latter test is "an important clinical tool to evaluate exercise capacity and predict outcomes in patients with a cardiac condition," according to a letter from Dr. Philip Ades, the director of cardiac rehabilitation at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
Ades said Sanders exercised "to a level that is approximately 50% higher than other men his age with a similar diagnosis."

"Mr. Sanders is more than fit enough to pursue vigorous activities and an occupation that requires stamina and an ability to handle a great deal of stress," he wrote.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is in “good health,” nearly three months after suffering a heart attack, the attending physician at the US Capitol said in a letter released Monday.

https://kdvr.com/2019/12/30/bernie-sanders-is-in-good-health-after-heart-attack-doctor-says-in-summary-of-health/

The physician, Brian Monahan, said in a summary of the Vermont senator’s health that Sanders is no longer taking several of the medications initially prescribed to him after the heart attack.
“Several of the medications you initially required (blood-thinner, beta blocker) were stopped based on your progress,” Monahan wrote. “Your heart muscle strength has improved. You have never had symptoms of congestive heart failure. The heart chamber sizes, wall thickness, estimated pressures, and heart valves are normal. Several 24-hour recordings of your heart electrical activity indicated no significant heat rhythm abnormality.”

Later in the letter, Monahan said “You are in good health currently and you have been engaging vigorously in the rigors of your campaign, travel, and other scheduled activities without any limitation.”

The campaign also released two additional letters from physicians at the University of Vermont, who have examined Sanders since his heart attack earlier this year, saying that Sanders is in good health and making a strong recovery. The doctors, Philip Ades, Patrick Savage and Martin LeWinter, said they believed Sanders is fit to serve as president.

Sanders is not the first candidate to release his medical information. Earlier this month, former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — all in their 70s — released reports or letters from their doctors.

You might want to mention to the OP that Bernie's information has been released.

[R B Garr]

62. Heart attacks/disease are the leading cause of death, which

must be why Bernie was trying to keep the info from the public. Biden hasn’t tried to hide his health/medical, but this isn’t about Biden anyways.

[Autumn]

63. Bernie had a great chance of surviving his "heart attack" Biden had a 50/50 chance of surviving

his aneurysms and his blood clot. And yes it is about Biden, it's about any candidate that I want to compare him with heath wise. And that's Biden.

[TwilightZone]

71. Yes.

Which I suspect you already knew, which makes your whataboutism rather silly.

[Autumn]

72. Oh there's plenty of silliness. The outrage over Bernie's doctor releasing a summary and Biden's

doctor releasing a summary. Only Bernie's doctors summary isn't good enough.

[SidDithers]

32. Leave Bernie alone!!!...nt

59. Thank you for that link, Iamaartist.

That is a pretty thorough report on VP Biden.

42. Children,,,Please

[Lexee]

43. The way Sanders hires people, it certainly does matter.

[David__77]

49. Yes.

That said, he did not release samples for the public to review and test, and so I imagine there may be suspicion on that account.

[Autumn]

60. His Doctors released his heath information, as has Liz and Biden's doctors released theirs.

Google. It's a thing that works.

[mcar]

64. Doesn't look like his records

Just a summary.

[Autumn]

67. His physicians released letters detailing his health. Just like Warren's physicians

released letters derailing her health. Got a gripe about that?

[Autumn]

69. Biden released a 3 page PDF letter from his doctor. Bernie's doctors did the same,

but not in PDF

[NurseJackie]

70. I have difficulty in believing that what his doctor says is true and accurate.

There's absolutely NO WAY that Bernie stands 6-feet tall. They can't BOTH be six feet tall... unless Joe is actually 6 feet 6 inches tall.

[Cornus]

82. Consider the angle that this photo was taken...

...and then look at the height of their shoulders. Should give you a clue.

[NurseJackie]

84. Here are some others that are more at a "head on" angle...

Here are some others that are more at a "head on" angle. So what's the excuse now?

[revmclaren]

65. Please link to the full medical report like Biden released,

not a summary note from his Dr.

Unfortunately, I think I and most Democratic voters will be waiting long into the year if we see the whole report at all.

Just another reason most Clinton supporters refuse to consider Sanders (I-VT) in the primaries.



ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

[Autumn]

66. His physicians released letters on his health. Just like Liz's physicians did.

Clinton supporters can consider whoever they chose, that's what a primary is for. None of my business, I don't care who they support.

[TexasTowelie]

68. So you did know that Biden and Warren released their medical records

and post #30 in this thread was a deflection?

[Autumn]

73. No I didn't know but I Googled it after I asked the question. Google is awesome, wanna know

something, just Google it. I found out both Biden and Bernie's doctors released "letters summarizing their health". Of course I didn't give a shit about their medical information and Bernie's doctor had a press conference after his heart attack saying he was fine. I'm confident in my thinking that neither would run if they had health issues. Are you upset that it seems a lot of other posters didn't know and posted asking about it and didn't Google to find out? I kind of doubt that.

[TexasTowelie]

75. Yeah, right. nt

[lapucelle]

76. I wonder if he still has gout.

While Sanders is yet to make his medical history public, last presidential election cycle, the Vermont senator released a letter from his doctor in late January 2016, days before the first-in-the-nation caucuses.

Dr. Brian Monahan, Sanders’ attending physician at the Capitol, wrote the Vermont senator was in good health but has had a variety of medical conditions over the years, including a hernia surgery in 2015 as well as the removal of “superficial skin tumors” and a cyst from his vocal cords, according to the Washington Post.

Monahan also reported that Sanders has had gout — a form of arthritis — a “mild” case of high cholesterol, diverticulitis — inflammation of the digestive tract — an underactive thyroid condition, and lower back issues.

https://vtdigger.org/2019/12/17/sanders-set-to-release-medical-history-by-end-of-year/

[Autumn]

77. At their age he and Biden do have health issues over the years .

Biden doctor said he has persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that's potentially serious but treatable.His heart is functioning normally and his only needed care is a blood thinner to prevent the most worrisome risk, blood clots or stroke. He has had blood clots in the lung and two aneurysms He keeps his cholesterol at healthy levels with the use of a statin medication. He has had several small, non-melanoma skin cancers removed over the years. But the letter from his doctor makes no mention of a cardiac stress test, which would eliminate any questions about heart function. Biden also has diverticulitis and has had several orthopedic injuries.

https://go.joebiden.com/page/-/CiU2iAa4Ig_%20j5EQzueoad.pdf

[lapucelle]

80. So Biden doesn't have gout. N/T

[Autumn]

81. And Bernie doesn't have a-fib. N/T

[lapucelle]

83. BS released his medical records?

Until he does, it's unwise to reach conclusions.

That's why I was wondering if BS still has gout, rather than asserting things I do not know.

[Autumn]

85. Just like Biden's doctor released a three page summary of his health, Bernie's doctors released a

summary of his health. None of them released their medical records, thinking one did is jumping to conclusions.
Liz's doctor also released a letter summary of her health. Warren takes medication for hypothyroidism, a common condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive, according to the letter. Her blood pressure is 115/57, and she has had a flu shot this year. Her doctor also provided a hematology report including information on everything from her platelet count to the size of her red blood cells.

[lapucelle]

86. So BS didn't release the records he promised yet. N/T

[lapucelle]

87. BS pledged to release his health records after his heart attack.

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign says it still plans to release the 78-year-old Vermont senator’s health records along with a letter from his doctor by the end of December.

Sanders pledged to make his medical history public on Oct. 24, a week after returning to the campaign trail after suffering a heart attack.

“I want to make it comprehensive,” Sanders told the Associated Press at the time. “The answer is I will, probably by the end of the year.”

Faiz Shakir, Sanders’ campaign manager, later added to reporters that Sanders’ health records would include a letter from his doctor that would show he had made a full recovery from his heart attack earlier that month.

https://vtdigger.org/2019/12/17/sanders-set-to-release-medical-history-by-end-of-year/

Did the letter mention whether BS still has gout?

[RandySF]

88. A 79-year old with a recent heart attack is no small matter.
