11. The doctor is a fraud, like everything else associated with Trump.

Any real doctor and her/his medical office would immediately freak out and call the police if someone stormed into their offices and started grabbing medical records. At the very least, there are HIPAA issues that will not only get you sued by your other patients, but will get you fined into poverty or thrown into federal prison. This guy doesn't seemed to be all that fazed by it. How weird is that?

He's a gastroenterologist who is the primary caregiver for Donald Trump. Now, I know that some medical specialists may become the primary caregiver for a patient if they have some sort of serious chronic condition that dominates their health. For instance, your primary doctor might be an endocrinologist if you have diabetes, or you might regularly see a cardiologist if you have congestive heart failure, and they may look after you most. Most primary care physicians are family practitioners, internal medicine specialists, and the like. But a gastroenterologist? Trump must either have some serious chronic diarrhea or is living with horrible heartburn that is impacting his life.

This doctor is a total fraud. It troubles me that no one in the media seems to be asking him questions that would immediately call out what a sham he is.
