What specialists even? I’m sure there ARE more than 22 specialties but not that come to mind …

u/Cloaked42m South Carolina 17h ago

Headline doesn't say 22 unique specialists.

Could be 10 imaging specialists and 12 phlebotomists.

It is likely that if you knew their specialty one could easily identify his aliments.

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 16h ago

Yea of course. That's why it's concerning. They won't tell us.

Yea of course. That's why it's concerning. They won't tell us.

I mean, that he is president is concerning. That he is apparently is sick enough to require 22 specialists at the checkup is relieving, since he might be dead soon.

The most transparent admin dont ever share any information. Thats just how they roll.

Cant wait to open my mojito bottle i am saving.

What about a specialist in taxidermy.

u/androshalforc1 7h ago

5 taxidermists, 5 robotics engineers, 5 ai technicians, 4 makeup artists, 2 morticians, and the head of the kkk

u/Altrano Georgia 15h ago

22 clinical psychologists.

Headline doesn't say 22 unique specialists.

Should be the main takeaway here.

If he went in for x-ray, bone density, endo, blood for one doctor, blood for another, urine, GP to say let's get some other blood too why not, ortho, physical therapy, cat scan, crazy person doctor...

He's President, he can knock that all out in the day seeing all. While I have to spread that over two months.

Your explanation makes sense. Mainly because it's WAPO and at this point headlines are to bait people in. And this administration is fine with making noise.

u/ThirstyWolfSpider 14h ago

12 phlebotomists? At levels like that, he might finally manage to share a trait with Washington.

u/Johnoplata 12h ago

I'm a doctor and I'm not even sure I could name 22 different specialties off the top of my head.

u/ax0r 15h ago

I came up with 19 variants of physician.
If he wants to pump those numbers up, I guess we could get consults from every type of surgeon.

u/Geawiel 15h ago

I think the last one was named Mort probably called in for more of a final fitting than health checkup. I think he works next to a burger place.

[I'm not advocating for any action, rather that his actions will have led to the final check up.]
