He is almost completely gone now. He doesn't know because he was unconscious the whole time.
This time it wasn't projections, but prediction.
Donut go brrrr, folks
They gave him two and an MRI, no he didn't ace it.
When you go in for an MRI, they not only tell you what they're doing, they ask you to repeat it back so that they know you know what's going on.
+1 One of my favorite medical tests, feels like something out of Star Trek.
My favourite part about getting an MRI was actually not getting one.
Explanation: had a pretty rough cycling accident in uni, busted my kneecap. Which didn't start hurting until two days later, but then it was absolutely mind numbing pain. So bad that my flatmate had to call an ambulance.
Ambulance takes me in, with a watermelon sized knee, and they immediately want to take me for an MRI to assess the damage. At this point I've got a biiiiig dose of some kind of pain management medication that made me super hazy.
Just barely in time I managed to tell the doctor that they can't do MRI because I have a magnet implant in my finger. Disaster barely, but averted.
I gotta imagine they can scan for stuff like that now fairly quickly. Is that not common practice when you haven't provided a definite answer to that question? Pretty sure they pregnancy test any child bearing age person regardless of how emphatically they say they aren't.
Pregnancy test for MRI? I had one early this year (I hated it) and I certainly did not have to take a pregnancy test. Or do you mean pregnancy test in general? Because that one pisses the fuck out of women who absolutely 100% know they aren't pregnant (haven't had sex, don't have their reproductive organs anymore, other possible reasons).
I have a friend who was “incapable of being pregnant” and discovered she was pregnant because the doctor insisted she take a test before a procedure.
She got 2 procedures instead of 1!
There's a difference between "I thought I was infertile" and "I literally don't have my uterus and ovaries". In these situations it comes off as patronizing because there's "no way" a woman who doesn't have her reproductive organs knows what she's talking about. It's one of those things that adds to the massive pile of medical mistreatment of women, and that's why it's a touchy topic for many.
She’d had a tubal ligation, so while not fully incapable she was medically convinced.
The thing is touchy, but patients lie. Until there is definitive proof it could be a lie. People lie for all kinds of reasons.
I agree, but also it’s not always so cut and dry.
I have some missing organs. The lack of which shows up on Xray and MRI. It's somewhat worrying the amount of times I've had to explain to the techs that yes I do know where my organs went and no it is not news so you want to see the scars. The first time was funny. The tenth had me questioning competence.
The latter. And the other response to you is part of why I'm sure they still get done. But someone that had a hysterectomy for example should be fine and you'd hope there'd be ample documentation to prove that.
Mind you this was ~12 years ago, and I was quite out of it. Not sure what exactly they did or did not. Most of this is retelling from what the doctor told me the next day, after surgery.
Oh yeah, #1 question... "Any metal in your body?"
"Yeah, I had open heart surgery, inside I'm laced up like a ballet slipper!"
But they use non-magnetic metal for that.
Magnet in finger?
Cognitive decline for the win.
“It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
No one could write satire like this.
-
He probably knows.
-
It was his brain or heart.
-
He's not going to release the results like he never released his tax return.
Considering he said it wasn't the brain, I'd bet good money that it was a head scan of some type. Probably looking for signs of a stroke, age related diseases like dementia or alzheimer, brain shrinkage, or other conditions worth monitoring in the brain.
He’s not going to release the results like he never released his tax return.
Or his academic record. I remember millions of morons crying how the MSM never "vetted" Obama as a dogwhistle that they blew for 8+ years and how they fell silent on cue when Pedonald went entirely unvetted and divulged nothing about his past.
Depending on the body part and the "kind of MRI", it is not overly uncommon to more or less just be fully inside a tube while the tech activates the appropriate sensors. And plenty of older men think caring about health is Women's Work and won't ask.
That said
“It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
So it was the brain.
It 100 % was brain . And accompanied by cognitive tests. Plural. Multiple tests.
Trump has fronto temporal dementia.
That's a fucking nursing home and his fucking name had to be stiched to his shirt. Nurses hanging outside.
Also keep in mind his dad had dementia and it is hereditary.
What is this pic from?
What he actually said was he would release it if they wanted to release it. That he'd have no problem with that
If we had real journalism in our county, the reporters would have asked who "they" were, since he basically said it's not his decision
"they" is nobody. It's his imaginary supporters.
The same big strongly men that come up to him with tears in their eyes and call him "sir".
That or the cabal pulling his strings.
No it's not. Trump is obviously not calling the shots, I'd like to hear who is running the admin on camera
Well, lots of reporters stand there and don't ask any questions. Granted, he often resorts to insults and then flees and most of the people in those gaggles are just suck-ups and not even from real news orgs anyway, but questions such as:
- How can one "ace" a dementia test?
- Why does he think people that haven't even been asked to be screened cannot pass this test?
- Why does he single out people like AOC and Jasmine Crockett for these comments? Does he think they have dementia?
- How can his MRI be the best anyone has ever seen?
- Assuming medical professional people have told him this, what does he think that even means? In his own words - how can an MRI be "great"?
- If it's so great why does he think one was even given to him? Was it just for funsies, or just so people could marvel at how "great" it is?
Either the MRI show's the skeleton of Epstein's missing hamster or it's going to to show that his brain looks like broccoli now.
“They completely immobilized my head, then put my head in the gantry. But maybe they scanned my feet.”
Don't worry Donald, we'll all find out together when you make good on your promise. Any minute now.
The MRI results will be heavily redacted and all references to "Dementia" will be crossed out in Sharpie
I'd be more worried about that possibility if I felt confident Donald could read.
Like the healthcare plan, infrastructure week, the Obama birth certificate investgation, the Biden / Ukraine investigation...
I hope it is a penis mri.
It hasn't got the required resolution.
I won’t hold my breath.
If our government wasn't completely fucked the 25th Amendment would have been invoked by now.
If our people weren't completely fucked the 2nd amendment would have been involved by now. Followed by a whole lot of the 5th.
Me, personally? I'm invoking the 21st.
100 hamberders are on the shelf...
