The more I think about it, the more concerned I am about 25th Amendment issues & Trump& #39;s mental status. We know he was "lethargic" & we know he& #39;s been hypoxic (low oxygen). We now know he& #39;s on a medication (dexamethasone) that causes confusion or altered thinking at times (1/3)
All physicians have seen many confused pts who don& #39;t know it – they lose insight. Moreover, we have T& #39;s narcissism, tendency to spin, & mistrust of others. Added together: the least qualified person in the world to determine if he& #39;s capable of carrying out his duties is him (2/3)
We must be reassured that he& #39;ll have an independent (and not by Dr. Conley; sorry, but he& #39;s done nothing to earn our trust in the past two days) of fitness for duty, carried out at least daily for next several days. Congress/Cabinet should insist on it... and do so stat. (3/3)
