President Biden went to Walter Reed for his annual physical on Thursday, and Barack Obama’s former doctor says he’s “concerned” about his age and other ailments.
The test is usually a physical assessment of the patient, although Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has called for “mental fitness tests” for politicians over 75.
Honestly, there are probably several members of Congress that age who would struggle with such a test. But I digress.
Dr. David Scheiner, in an interview with the Washington Examiner, expressed several concerns regarding Biden’s overall health.
“I don’t care if he’s in perfect health now — I can’t believe he’s in perfect health,” said Scheiner, who was Obama’s personal physician for 20 years. “He has a lot of things in his past.”
Doctors pointed to Biden’s past vascular and atrial fibrillation problems and mentioned the president’s noticeably deteriorating gait.
“I’m worried he’s getting old. If I look at him, he’s not 80 years old,” said Scheiner.

Obama Doctor: Expect Biden to Physically ‘Sugar Coat’ Things
Whatever Dr. Biden’s doctors find in his physical, he expects them to explain the details. Shiner suggested.
“You’re not going to learn anything. They sugar coat these things,” he told the Examiner.
He recommended that the White House undergo a neurological exam or at least have an MRI completed as part of the physical.
“One thing they don’t check is the mental alertness test,” he said. “I don’t think any candidate wants that. They’re afraid they might find something.
Former President Donald Trump reportedly took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
We need to know the full results of Biden’s physical exam. What medications is he taking? Will there be a cognitive test? If any president needs a cognitive assessment, here it is! He is the most incompetent president in history. You deserve answers to these questions!! pic.twitter.com/2QkGGQoEfh

Speaking at a rally in Charleston, South Carolina, Nikki Haley reiterated her call for cognitive tests for older politicians, a dig at Biden as he attends his physical and Trump.
“I see in America, the eternal politician finally retires,” Haley told his cheering supporters. “We will have term limits for Congress and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75.”

Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson (R), a former White House physician, has been calling for a cognitive test for Biden for years.
