Biden Says He’d Consider Dropping Out if a ‘Medical Condition’ Emerged
President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.
Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, wrote after the president’s physical in February that Mr. Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.
Alright, now go to the doctor for a comprehensive exam.
I mean, I definitely think he should step down, and the white house physician also said Trump was 6'2 200 lbs so...
White House physicians are basically captured medical professionals - they get INSANE access to not just the office, but a lot of the entourage and hangers-on. Yeah you can say no, but it’s a very competitive and prestigious posting that has no shortage of applicants.
O’Connor came back after being Biden’s VP doctor, and has… conflicting interests when it comes to giving medical advice that might make his role redundant
"Well Doc? What's the verdict?"
"Are you serious? We just talked about this. Do you not remember?"
"Oh... I... I... yeah, I totally remember that... and those things were..."
"Well, first of all, there's the apparent memory loss. Then, as we just discussed, there's the obvious dementia, as well."
"What? Dementia? I'm sharp as a rock, doc. Where did you get that? Show me my chart!"
"Dude, for the last time, there is no chart. I'm not a doctor. This is a Denny's!"
"H-h-whut?"
"And most people drink coffee out of those mugs, not the complementary maple syrup."
Update: Wow, a lot of people butthurt on the joke about the mental acuity of an 81 year old! Chillax people. I'd vote for a dead dog if it stood a chance against Trump. Doesn't mean we take it to Westminister and demand a blue ribbon for how obviously healthy, active and beautiful the dog corpse is. Let's acknowledge the absurdity of the reality we are in, please.
He must be a new waiter at Denny's.
Nah. Drinking it from the mug is too classy for the average Denny's clientele. Most drink it straight from the jug. And not waterfall into their mouth style. Mouth on spout style. Enjoy your breakfast.
3 AM Denny's is where it's at, man. Eat fries and pancakes while watching the only other people in the restaurant play musical plates with their food.
