NEW-- Update on the update on the notion that Trump had to go to hospital for cardiac emergency [View all]

[[NEW: MSNBC guest, Republican insider, says she was told by some in WH that Trump was simply STIR CRAZY Sunday because it was too cold to golf, and went for a field trip to Walter Reed
.]]




1. The WH has a level one trauma hospital within.

2. The FIRST test administered for heart damage is the Troponin I blood draw. The test takes ten minutes to run, and can be done on a hand-held i-STAT device at the POC. (Point of Contact). This is the gold standard for determining whether the patient is experiencing an MI.

3. If the result shows 0.04 or less, no further blood test is required to determine cardiac emergency because there is no damage. If it shows more than 0.04, three more blood draws are indicated, consecutively, to determine damage if any. That would take several hours.

Too, an ECG will be determinative and show changes that would indicate trouble. That would be done within moments of an event. The WH has capability of transmitting any data to Walter Reed specialists in real time.

Today the president was at the White House and participated in a scheduled briefing that was held in the residence.

And so we are left with mystery and lies.

But we can be sure that he had no heart damage.

That isn't how prosecutors generally operate. They are not investigating him for state-level tblue37 Nov 2019 #49
