When I’ve had an MRI or other diagnostic scans, the receptionist confirms my identity and the tests ordered by my doctor. When I enter the procedure room, the technician verifies my identity and explains the test, the purpose and what to expect.

Since he’s POTUS, I assume that his personal physician is with him and is responsible to ensure consent and comprehension of why the test is needed.

When the patient doesn’t understand his OWN health condition and why he must undergo diagnostic testing - a family member would need to sign consent and explain it to their ill relative. WHO is his Health Care Proxy?

If he is unable to understand his illness or the diagnostic tests ….he should be placed under guardianship of a family member . And, REMOVED from Office - STAT!

Who’s pulling Trump’s Leash?
