Nurse Theorizes That Vladimir Putin Has Parkinson's Disease After Noticing Symptoms In Viral Video

TikTok user @musclesandnursing posted a video on Sunday, in which he analyzed Putin’s mannerisms and found movements consistent with symptoms of both Parkinson’s and dementia, as the two conditions are heavily linked.

The nurse, who does not diagnose but claims to know Parkinson’s when he sees it, pointed out the jerky movement of Putin’s right leg, possibly indicating that he may have suffered a stroke.

His odd leg movements may also suggest the presence of Vascular Dementia, the second most common cause of dementia according to the Dementia Society of America.

The TikTok nurse points out that “people with dementia are very, very good at covering up their dementia.” He also mentions, however, that there is a point where they can no longer hide their condition, and he is worried that Putin is at that point.

That was the rumor last week, anyway. so, the tally so far...dementia, Parkinson's, colon cancer. Well, something is sure to get him some time. Unfortunately he can do a lot of damage in the interim, like a few others I can think of.

Putin has changed https://www.rawstory.com/putin-2656798686/




"Well, here's what French President Emmanuel Macron said recently about Putin, and it was reported in the Wall Street Journal," host Witt prompted. "That 'Mr. Macron noticed a change in Mr. Putin's demeanor when speaking to him on the phone over the course of the pandemic. He tended to talk in circles, rewriting history, a close aide to Mr. Macron said. if you look at the video of Putin talking to leaders across those long tables.' What does all this suggest to you, the level of isolation that he has endured due to his paranoia about Covid? "

"I completely agree with that," Walder replied. "That is one thing that I have noticed lately, even -- and I know this sounds superficial -- but if you really just look at pictures of him, which I tend to do quite a bit, the shape of his face has even changed. He looks different, he speaks differently, and he's crossed over to what I think I consider to be almost the dark side of history."

"Look, Putin was never a friend, if you will, but most of the things that he was doing was really sort of cyber, psychological operations, those kinds of things," she added. "Now he's really crossed over sort of that red line into, you know, this full military warfare, but then part of me wonders if we should be this surprised."
