Unwrapped -

If you google "george w bush" physical; or "george w bush" "annual physical" you will get page after page of how he inquired about skipping the Air National Guard required physical, then missed his annual physical, and then was grounded. Along with a lot of speculation he skipped out b/c, for the first time ever, it was required AND they were testing for drug use. But that's just ancient history and you don't want to get into that - right? Just like Clinton is ancient history.

Quote:

The point was brought up that Bush should take a drug test. Fact is, he has had annual check ups with results made public.

So I found this. Please note, there is NO report of drug testing. Your 'annual physical' remark is a non-sequitor.

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 1-President George Bush, eight pounds lighter than he weighed in December, was declared fit for duty by doctors at the National Naval Medical Center here over the weekend.


The three-hour checkup was the 59-year-old Bush's fifth annual physical since taking office. The most recent examination was in December, delayed from his normal summer schedule by the election campaign.


Bush, nearly six feet tall, weighed 199.6 pounds in December. Over the weekend, his weight was down eight pounds, a loss that was attributed to an improved diet.


"The President remains in excellent health and 'fit for duty,'" his doctors said in a statement. "All data suggest that he will remain so for the duration of his Presidency."


Bush takes a daily multi-vitamin, low-dose aspirin, glucosamine/chondroitin, and an omega 3 supplement. He does not routinely use prescription medications.


The President exercises six times per week. His resting heart rate (seated) was 47 bpm. His resting blood pressure (seated) was 110/64 mm/Hg.


The doctors characterized his fitness as in the "superior" category for a man his age (greater than 99th percentile for 55-59 year-old men; Cooper).


He has, they said, a "low" to "very low" coronary artery disease risk profile, as judged by a coronary artery disease "activity-marker" evaluation (including C-reactive protein, homocysteine, and lipids), and "functional" studies (exercise treadmill test).


Results of lipid sub-unit and particle size analysis further support a "low cardiac risk" profile. Continued "therapeutic lifestyle measures" (i.e. reduced intake of saturated fat and cholesterol, regular physical activity, and weight control) are appropriate.


He is not taking a statin.


Sinus bradycardia, asymptomatic, non-pathologic, and consistent with a conditioned heart, they said.


There is a history of vasovagal syncope without pathology, sequelae, or recurrence.


The physicians reported symptoms consistent with occasional gastroesophageal reflux with well-defined triggers. They were considering "modification/elimination of triggers, routine medication, and/or endoscopy if symptoms become more frequent, refractory, or pronounced."


Bush has a history of benign colonic adenomas, with his most recent colonoscopy in June 2002 determined to be normal. He will have another colonoscopy in 2007 (or earlier, pending state-of-the-science, or incidental to upper endoscopy if indicated).


He has skin lesions consistent with solar damage. Treatment was not indicated, and sun-protection measures (e.g. sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats, etc.) were recommended. A seborrheic keratosis was treated with liquid nitrogen.


Bush has well-controlled seasonal allergic rhinitis.


He has a history of activity-related musculoskeletal injuries and is currently without symptoms or limitations.


He also has a history of mild high frequency hearing loss, unchanged from previous examinations. He has mild hyperopic astigmatism/presbyopia, fully correctable.

Wow. Do you think its right to post this kind of stuff or to have it released to the public? I doubt HIPPA has an exception for elected officials.

Just to show how fair you are...post your own most recent medical examination and history. Go ahead. I doubt you will though. That persistant bout with lymphatic filariasis is probably a might embarrassing.

"What did you think about Kofi Annan's suggestion for a cease-fire and then an international peacekeeping force, Tony?"
Where in the conversation is that? Oh, that's right.
You would be making that up.

"(Blair - to Bush)... the thing that's really difficult is WE can't stop this unless YOU get this international presence agreed"
In context, it's pretty obvious that WE is inclusive, YOU means the US.

"(Bush) ... I think Condi's going pretty soon." In context, Blair was saying (as diplomatically as possible) "that he would be willing to prepare the ground for her trip, because 'she's got to succeed, as it were, whereas I can just go out and talk.'" But Blair needed to know if Condi was going to go before he got on the stage as the opening act, so to speak, and found there was going to be no main show. Bush's response? A definitive "I think she's going to go soon.."

"(Blair - confused by the non-sequitor) Syria?"
"Other people might have thought he didn't hear what Bush was saying, but you got the real scoop." Really? What other people? Or would you just be making that up, too.

"(Bush) ... I felt like telling Kofi to make something happen"
Hence BLAIR working on international presence and trying to get a Condi Rice visit.



Yep. Got those "Bush is Evil" goggles glued to your face. No other interpretations need apply. I never argue religion with a fanatic, so I'll just let you rave on.

As a proud recipient of a standard HMO plan, I have not had a physical in about 20 years. I also don't seem to have access to the results. How about YOU ??? You willing to post yours? ANOTHER ad hominem attack from you. But why should I expect anything better? You're not capable.

I'm guessin' this is your lame excuse for why you can't say - given the exact Bush quotes and all - Bush is anything but an em-bare-ass-ment. All you have is another ad hominem attack. As usual.
