What's New In Trump's Health? A Recent 'Perfect' MRI Scan And The Will To Serve A 'Third Term'

President <span>Donald Trump</span> underwent an MRI scan in the last health checkup, which was supposedly a routine health check-up. However, top American cardiologist Dr Jonathan Reiner, who is also a professor of medicine at George Washington University and former cardiologist to ex-vice president Dick Cheney told CNN that MRIs are "never performed as part of a routine check".

This has led to many more health speculation, especially after Kai Trump's photo showed his bruised hand, covered with makeup, revealing the vein damage.

<h2>Why Did The President Get An MRI Scan?</h2>

Reiner says that MRI scans are typically prompted by symptoms. "They can be neurologic symptoms that prompt an MRI. They could be back pain that prompts an MRI. There can be issues with the heart that would prompt an MRI. And for those reasons, the public should really be told, you know, why did the president undergo the test, what consultants he saw, and what was the result of testing?"

However, when asked by reporters abroad Air Force One on Monday about the reason for this scan, the president declined to tell them the reason that his doctors had ordered the scan, reported the New York Times. 

He said that the results were "perfect" and he redirected the questions to his doctor stating, "I gave you the full results, We had an MRI... you know the whole thing. And it was perfect."

However, Reiner disagrees with his and says, "An MRI is never part of a routine evaluation, whether you are president of the United States or whether you are just a civilian."

The opinions were seconded by Dr Vin Gupta, MD, at Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). He wrote on his twitter post, "Even if you are leader of the free world, you don't just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so. there is no such thing as a "screening" MRI." He was however, contradicted by another MD Nicole Saphier, who called his claims false.

<h2>Third Term The President Would Love To Serve</h2>

While the Constitution limits presidents to two terms. Trump does not really care. He said that he would love to do a third term. "I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever. It is very terrible. I have my best numbers."

What makes this a big deal is because Donald Trump had gotten his medical checkup done earlier this month. The tests and the summary was released by the White House physician Dr Sean P Barbabella. The tests happened at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. However, no such detail about the MRI scan was mentioned, for which the president also mischaracterized the summary released by his physician, saying that he gave the doctor his full results. 

An MRI is usually used as a noninvasive technology to create detailed images of the inside of the body for disease detection and monitoring, or to detect bone or joint abnormalities. If his medical reports were perfect, then what did he need an MRI scan for?
