Related: About this forumBernie Sanders Promised to Release 'All the Medical Records' Following Heart Attack,
Now Says He Probably won't.Yesterday you decided to release a few letters from doctors about your medical status. Should we expect any further information from you? a reporter asked Sanders.
I think we have released, its not just a few letters, as I understand it, we released two letters from cardiologists who are quite well known and one letter from the capitol physician, Sanders said, adding So I think we have done everything that, plus, what other candidates have done.
Asked again if hed be releasing more information, Sanders said I think probably not.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released her personal medical records on Friday, making her the first Democratic presidential candidate this election cycle to disclose official health information.
Warrens longtime personal physician, Dr. Beverly Woo of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Womens Hospital, wrote in a letter that Warren is in excellent health. Warrens only medical condition is hypothyroidism, which she treats with a daily dose of medication.
In summary, Senator Elizabeth Warren is a very healthy 70 year old woman, Woo concluded. There are no medical conditions or health problems that would keep her from fulfilling the duties of the President of the United States.
Warren is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 129 pounds, according to Woo. Woo also reported that Warren maintains a healthy diet, exercises frequently and has never smoked, done drugs or abused alcohol.

(377 posts)damage. That heart attack that he had a couple doctors write letters to tell all us not to worry, Sanders was doing just fine and could do the Presidential role. All is good. Then refuse to give us the actual records so we can see how intensive and destructive the heart attack actually was, as we ponder the kind of people he hires that are not solid Democrats, not even good Democrats and some, not even Democrats.
Yes, that heart attack a couple months ago.
Now I forgot what the question was, lol.

(42,376 posts)only one refuses to release his medical records - something he promised. And, this is the one 70+ YO candidate who had a myocardial infarction just a few months ago - something his team kept secret for way too long.
This is not acceptable.
Let's recall how people on the left, the media and the Rs went completely crazy when HRC got pneumonia during the GE. Don't anyone tell me there's not a double standard.

I trust the doctors who have actual training that signed off.

(32,640 posts)He very much needs to project the image of a spry man who is healthier than many who are younger. Many of his supporters, especially the younger ones view that as gospel, along with Hillary being a "frail old woman." Hence the emphasis from his publicist that he DID NOT FALL when his head injury became public. Falls are associated with old people, and many of his supporters point to Hillary's fainting as proof that she was too frail.
During the 2016 convention, anyone with any medical background could see that the small cut on his right cheek was a biopsy. Then we watched as it grew into a an oozing sore that the fall.
Then in early December of 2016 he announces that he had a basal cel carcinoma removed from his face.
And Jeff Weaver called Brazille immediately when HRC fainted from dehydration, to offer Bernie as a healthier replacement. Public knowledge about having a basal cel carcinoma on his face would have been problematic, to say the least
At the convention:

(17,390 posts)Of a second heart attacks, particularly given Bernie's age. Do we really expect a medical test to state otherwise? Bernie is hiding the truth about his health.
https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/heart-attack/what-are-the-odds-of-having-a-second-heart-attack
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when the flow of oxygen to the heart stops suddenly. This is usually due to the build-up of fat and cholesterol in the arteries. Each year in the United States, about 735,000 people experience a heart attack. For 30% of them, it isnt the first time. Once you have one heart attack, the risk for having another heart attack rises; this risk is especially high for 3 to 5 years after the first heart attack. Every heart attack is different, though, and you arent just a number. Theres a lot you and your doctor can do to help prevent a second heart attack.

(154 posts)Sanders heart attack at 80 just a couple months ago. They should be able to challenge Sanders ability to fulfill the role as both a candidate in GE and a high stress job of the Presidency.
