Pretty hot response from the White House to the factual news that Trump’s aspirin dosage is the amount recommended by the American Heart Association “to prevent recurrent stroke, after a stroke.” Little touchy, are we??

“Any so-called medical professionals engaging in armchair diagnosis or false speculation for political purposes are clearly breaking the Hippocratic Oath they’ve sworn to,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Daily Beast. “These are false and slanderous allegations from a left-wing nut job. This fake news story should be retracted immediately.

Doctor Reveals the Clue Trump, 79, Let Slip About His Health
Dr. Bruce Davidson joins Joanna Coles to explain why a single, easily overlooked detail convinced him the president likely suffered a prior stroke.

“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” Trump told the Journal.

“Low-dose” aspirin prescriptions to prevent heart attacks and strokes usually come in 75-100 mg doses, with the Mayo Clinic recommending 81 mg. When it came out that Trump was taking quadruple the recommended dose, doctors said his daily 325 mg intake was far too high if he was taking it as a blood thinner.

But Davidson, a professor at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, said 325 mg would be the recommended dose if Trump previously had a stroke.

Trump's Shocking Medical Confession Hints Prez Suffered 'Possible Stroke' as Health Fears Intensify, Top Doc Claims

"I read the report that he was taking 325 mg of aspirin, and that is only recommended for people who've had a stroke to prevent a second stroke from a partially blocked artery," Davidson reportedly told Joanna Coles during an appearance on the Daily Beast podcast.

"When I read that, I said, well, he's had a stroke, and he's taking the right medication," the physician added.

1. How much aspirin do you need to take to fight tertiary stage syphilis?

2. I think I'm reading this correctly

“to prevent recurrent stroke, after a stroke.” seems to suggest that he's already had a stroke. Recall, a couple of months ago the drooping mouth, dragging foot?

Most of DU knew straight away what had happened. Oh fuck, drop dead already you bag of useless skin.

4. Smile ... your last sentence drew that out of me.

3. You can't hide it ... look @ the right side of his face and his drooping mouth.
