Fri Oct 9, 2020, 11:10 AM

I had a dr appt this summer-- on the phone. I had it on speaker, and my spouse and a friend were in the kitchen talking. The doctor asked a few preliminary questions, then launched into the good stuff. You know, "Do you have regular bowel movements? What is the consistency? Color of the stool? How often do you urinate?"

The spouse came out and said, "Can you go into the bathroom if you're going to talk about that?"

How much you want to bet this doctor won't get into anything like the real questions doctors ask, and also won't tell Trump to take off his clothes so he can look for skin cancer, etc.

This so called "medical evaluation" will be conducted by a Trumpian "doctor" and Fox Noose contributor who praised Republican efforts to repeal the ACA, pushed medical advice that contradicted CDC guidelines, claimed the coronavirus should be "compared to the flu", and praised Donald Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic. I would no more believe the results of his "evaluation" than I would believe any of the thousands of lies spewed out of Donald Trump.

Fri Oct 9, 2020, 12:37 PM

Marc K. Siegel is an American physician and contributor to Fox News.
He has written the book ‘False Alarm: the Truth About the Epidemic of Fear’,
criticized President Barack Obama over his Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

In 2017 Siegel criticized the ACA and its essential health benefits provision with benefits like maternity and mental health coverage.

In 2016 Siegel fueled unfounded right-wing conspiracy theories suggesting that candidate Hillary Clinton, whom Siegel never examined, had a hidden serious illness that raised questions about her physical fitness for office.

Siegel has praised President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
