McConnell showed 'no evidence' of a seizure disorder or stroke, Capitol doctor says [View all]
Source: NBC News
In a new letter, Capitol attending physician Brian Monahan confirmed that he examined Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after his freeze-up last week and that “there is no evidence” the Republican has a seizure disorder or “experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.”
“My examination of you following your August 30, 2023 brief episode included several medical evaluations: brain MRI imaging, EEG study and consultations with several neurologists for a comprehensive neurology assessment,” Monahan wrote to McConnell, whose office released the letter on Tuesday.
“There is no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease," he continued, referring to a transient ischemic attack.
Monahan added that he recommended no changes to McConnell's treatment protocols as he continues to recover from a fall in March that caused a concussion and sidelined the GOP leader for several weeks.
