President Joe Biden’s physician said he had a small lesion removed from his chest to be checked for signs of skin cancer during his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre on Thursday, according to a memorandum released by the White House press office.
Dr Kevin O’Connor, the former US Army doctor who has treated Mr Biden since his time as vice president, said he “remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as ChiefExecutive, Head of State and Commander in Chief”.
