President Joe Biden stated on Friday that he does not feel obligated to undergo cognitive and neurological exams, emphasizing that he receives a full neurological test daily. He mentioned that he is accompanied by medical doctors who provide ongoing assessments of his health status wherever he travels, a standard practice for all presidents. Biden highlighted that his medical team does not hesitate to alert him if they notice any potential issues.
When questioned about whether he has undergone cognitive tests and neurological examinations by a neurologist, Biden responded negatively, stating that no one has mandated such evaluations for him. He expressed confidence in his doctors' assessments, affirming that they have deemed him to be in good health.
In an analysis released recently, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon, recommended that Biden undergo comprehensive cognitive and neurological testing and make the results public. Gupta expressed concern over Biden's performance during a debate and emphasized the importance of detailed testing to identify any underlying issues or potential concerns.
