As a physician, I was responsible for the safety of others

I was in a severe car accident and my head hit the roof . I clearly had a concussion.

My symptoms resolved, and to all around me, I was functioning well .

Because I was responsible for the safety of others I (not my practice) asked to undergo neuropsychological testing, which was a four hour exam.

It did not test my medical knowledge, but it did test to see if I had any cognitive damage.

I made that available to my partners, even though I was the president of the group . When that was completed, and I went back to work.

Not too complicated .

Nikki Haley said anyone over 75 or you can make it anyone over 65 should be tested if they want to be president.

The testing will detect cognitive dysfunction from Alzheimer's, trauma, Parkinson's, or any other degenerative disease

Instead of blaming it on a cold or anything else demand both candidates get a test.

I don't want to hear about a cold or being tired or any other BS

I was there , I put my livelihood at risk and did the right thing.

I didn't say it was a bad day even though nearly dying was a very bad day .

Anyone who goes on TV and says otherwise are clearly fools

My guess is Joe Biden would fail spectacularly, and Donald Trump would fail probably not as severely, but they both would fail .

It should be eventually extended to all members of Congress and the Supreme Court. Enough already. We pay taxes and we deserve better.

Bidens decline is Denialism. Presidents are human and the US has enough history to understand this from W Wilson, FDR and Reagan

Democrats ranted about Reagan and his Dementia. Complained that the elected president was not running the country. I see no difference with this administration. They should have accepted the reality of the situation for the sake of the country.
