Has Romney's medical history been released yet?

His trustee wrote in the memo yesterday that Romney's and Ryan's medical report would soon be released.

4. These guys do have THAT goin' on

there are so many areas of HUGE hypocrisy and lack of ethics - that we should focus on to keep the foxes out of the henhouse.

5. I heard his personal long-time physician wrote a brief letter saying he was a-okay

No details, of course and no medical history of medications taken, operations or other procedures, hospitalizations, or treatment. I wish a detailed medical history starting at day one of a candidate's life was a requirement.

7. Gee, it would be nice if the insurance companies settled for a note from the dr.

He should release his medical history. Sorry! That red button needs someone with a cool, stable mind near it, not some wishy-washy decision maker. He can change lanes in the campaign, but not as president. We'd never know where he stood on anything.

13. The problem with that is that Lincoln and FDR probably wouldn't make the cut

6. All you will probably see is a doctor's note saying he is in good health.

He is under no obligation to release any personal medical information at all.

9. Here's some info. He's taking Lipitor--it can cause memory problems!

Doctors Say Romney and Ryan Are in Good Health

Mitt Romney is a “vigorous man” who has “reserves of strength, energy and stamina that provide him with the ability to meet unexpected demands,” his personal physician wrote in a letter released by the campaign on Friday.

The two-page letter said that Mr. Romney, 65, takes Lipitor daily to lower cholesterol in part because of a family history of cardiac issues, including heart attacks.

There are lots of articles on the net about how statins like Lipitor can cause brain damage and memory loss. I personally would never take Lipitor.

10. Until recently, there was a school of thought that it could delay Alzheimer onset

My mother has dementia and I've run across lots of medical opinion including results from clinical trials that Lipitor actually helps. More recently, however, you are correct; the current weight of opinion is that it does no good and may even be harmful. Did Romney use the Lipitor for cholesterol or because he was seeing a physician who promoted its benefits for treating Alzheimer's?

One of the nation's foremost Alzheimer experts, neurologist Marwan Sabbaugh mentioned very positive results in clinical trials with Lipitor in dementia patients in his best-selling book. And there has been a lot of research on the connection between Alzheimer's and high cholesterol. If Romney has early signs of dementia and sought a doctor who promotes this type of treatment for dementia it might be important to know.

11. Oh, that's interesting!

And shouldn't he be taking CoQ10 is he's taking a statin?

12. absolutely.

Hmmmmm.

I'm seriously considering "selling" grasswire as a top DUmmie for 2012, but I still have some qualms about it, considering it's not nice to make fun of senescent little old ladies.  I'll think about it, though.

[Skul]

Medical  records are a requirement for running for political office? 

Perhaps grASSWIPE ought to submit her/his/its, own.

But, it'll give Judy a shot of attention, and ego.

[sunsettommy]

Well we already know that Barry Sotero is mentally ill because he is a muslim loving communist.

 

[Tess Anderson]

Tell Judy that her messiah says he doesn't have to:

after all, don't want to talk about Obama's smoking and drinking habits too much, much less the crack.

[JohnnyReb]

How is Obama's AIDS treatments working out?

Hey, it was said that he was on "the down low" with some dude in Chicago.

This from poor, addled grasswipe Judy!

Can you imagine a mental health evaluation for a wandering, muttering, overcoat-bundled street vagabond like Judy?

[BadCat]

They want to know if Mitt takes Co-Q10???
It's an over the counter supplement, and it's done of their ****ing business.


Hey grassass, when the revolution that you communist shit stains want so badly, actually happens, we're gonna find out if you have any gold dental work.

Look it up, you ugly bitch.

The hell with voter ID, lets require the above for voters.

Love how the DUmmies care about HIPAA & medical privacy except for Republican candidates for office.

[Ogre]

The DUmbasses are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find the next *thing* to fling at the wall to see if it sticks.

Poor Judy, the Zero is going down and there isn't shit she or the rest of the libs can do about.

I am going to enjoy watching the DUmp the day after the elections.

I was just going to say the same thing.

Well they can't bitch about tax returns anymore so they gotta come up with something.

I think I'd  pick someone other than cbayer the thread slayer.

She's living in a little boat, tied to a dock in California.

All her fresh water has to be carried aboard in buckets.

It's unlikely much of that water is expended on showering.

I have a hunch that cbayer the thread slayer is odiferous to the point of making your eyes water.

Tell ya what, let's see yours.  HIPPA be damned, you're posting on a public forum, so I think I have the right to call into question your mental faculties!

Does she not know satire or sarcasm?

That's how I took it.

God these people are idiots and fools.
How quickly they forget that Bubba refused to release any of his medical records.

Even if they remember, they really won't care- The rules are one sided.

Consider any of their favorite protected groups - if anybody brings up a point relating to a liberal that addresses that condition negatively (or in a way that they can interpret it as a negative) - it is a hate crime. If, however, a conservative is a member of any protected group, the liberals will beat the conservative over the head with it relentlessly, using genuine hate speech.
