(30,510 posts)As an RN thats one of my first questions. They keep blowing out the veins on the back of his hands when they are doing either infusions or blood draws. It keeps drying attention. The logical thing is to use the AC on the inside of his elbow where its not going to show when he does these press conferences. Are his ACs in bad shape? If so, why?
Any medical DUers with thoughts on that?

(34,218 posts)(This past Thursday's "Start Me Up " with Kimberly Johnson, for those interested.) Part of the discussion pertained to Trump's health issues. Karem recalled Trump's first term, when they released his medical records There was a list of medications he was on . Brian was sitting next to Dr. Sanjay Gupta in the press conference, to whom he commented after seeing that list, "It sounds like he has heart disease." Dr. Gupta's reply was pretty much, "Yeah, he has cardiovascular disease." In light of that, I strongly suspect that's the source of all of his current issues.
Let's also not forget that time during his first term, where he made an unannounced weekend visit to Walter Reed, that they tried to pass off as "getting started on his annual physical." And, he almost died of COVID-19, which is known to cause all sorts of health issues. But, yeah The country needs to know what the hell is going on here.
