More about medical records:

Inasmuch as Briahna Gray bashed Michael Bloomberg regarding his health records this morning, we have to remember one thing:

Michael Bloomberg is a licensed pilot, indeed he's licensed to fly helicopters! The FAA mandates that those with licenses to fly aircraft, of any size, must get rigorous physicals periodically (I think it's once a year) in order to retain their licenses.

Disqualifying conditions are:

Angina pectoris
Bipolar disease
Cardiac valve replacement
Coronary heart disease that has been treated or, if untreated, that has been symptomatic or clinically significant
Diabetes mellitus requiring hypoglycemic medications
Disturbance of consciousness without satisfactory explanation of cause
Epilepsy
Heart replacement
Myocardial infarction
Permanent cardiac pacemaker
Personality disorder that is severe enough to have repeatedly manifested itself by overt acts
Psychosis
Substance abuse
Substance dependence
Transient loss of control of nervous system function(s) without satisfactory explanation of cause.

A myocardial infarction is a HEART ATTACK. Bloomberg has never had a heart attack or attacks, nor has he had any heart conditions.

In October Sanders had a myocardial infarction, a heart attack!!

Obviously the FAA feels that Bloomberg is healthy enough to not revoke his license.

1. Thanks for the research.

Bri Bri could learn a lot from you.

3. I used to have a pilot's license many years ago. But I didn't get a chance to use it and...

...didn't have time (or money at the time) to maintain it.

People don't get pilot's licenses as easily as driver's licenses.

2. Don't agree that Sanders needs to release his medical records, but that it a good point. Flight

Flight physicals are a good indication of health condition, and are a lot harder to scrub or pay for a clean bill of health.

[we can do it]

9. The old man had a heart attack and looks unwell.

We deserve full disclosure.

[Hoyt]

10. Actually, I think he has looked better after his heart attack. Of course, he's bought new clothes,

cuts his hair more often, and maybe he too is using makeup.

I still don't put much faith in medical records. You aren't going to get a dump of all records, so they are going to be scrubbed.

Now, maybe he should go on TV and take a treadmill stress test.

[we can do it]

11. I thought he did at first, but he's looking extra red again.

4. Bloomberg is healthy...

absolutely the only good thing I could say about him.

5. I think that being POTUS is probably a lot more stressful than flying an airplane...

I think that being POTUS is probably a lot more stressful than flying an airplane and the consequences of failure and incompetence have far more serious consequences.

Based on what we KNOW about his health history, and based on the fact that they continue to withhold information that had previously been promised to us... that tells me that they're hiding something.

I think the American people deserve to know the truth about someone and whether or not they're going to be physically and mentally healthy enough to fulfill the many duties and the rigorous schedule required by the officeholder.

These are fair questions and demands. We deserve better.

[George II]

12. Bloomberg is healthy enough to retain his pilot's license, with that myocardial infarction....

....Sanders is permanently disqualified.

14. The candidate that I choose will have the HEALTHY AND STAMINA for such a stressful and AGING JOB...

The candidate that I choose will have the HEALTHY AND STAMINA for such a stressful and AGING JOB (look at Bill Clinton, look at GWB, look at Obama... they ALL aged 20 years while in office!!!) therefore I'm looking for a candidate who HAS THE ROOM to age 20 years.

Also, their temperament and demeanor will play an important role too. I'm looking for a leader who looks GOOD in formal attire (and who doesn't protest against formal attire by calling it the clothing of the "elite&quot and who will make me proud when I see him or her and their spouse together in public.

6. PS...

Wow! look at your post count!

[George II]

7. Wow, Mahalo! Thanks for pointing that out - my 50,000th will be a response to you!!!!

[sheshe2]

8. Milestone!!!

Cheers~

13. Bernie would be foolish to release additional medical records

A summary of his health from his doctor is all he needs to (and should) release.

Why would he release more detail? To let all of the armchair doctors of the world pick nits?

If really pressured, maybe he could release a photo or two from his latest colonoscopy.
