A few things about the medical file theft don't make sense.

1. The doctor's address is 101 E. 78th Street, near Fifth Avenue. He wouldn't have an expansive office for consultation, examination, and files just because of the price of square footage.

2. Since ACA, almost all files are entered and maintained on computer. When I was a medical file clerk, it all paper and a lot of files were stored off site just because of space consideration.

3. Therefore, I doubt that the Donald Trump medical file in its entirety would be kept on premises except on hard drive and or disks.

4. Trump's goons wouldn't have needed 25 minutes in any case to find the files. Either they would have taken the information off the computer or it would be under "T" in alphabetical order in the files.

5. The doctor didn't call the police when the goons were trepassing and stealing.


Is the doctor's claim credible?

and I'd doubt he or most physicians would know what to do if the POTUS sent large men to collect HIS OWN medical records.

Should he have made bigger "stink" then--absolutely
But, I don't know that that alone makes this odd duck unbelievable.

He strikes me as more of a "small volume boutique type practice", so he may well have at least partial (or full) records on paper.

Mitt Romney's nuts in it. Trump wants to keep an eye on them.
