At 80 years old, President Joe Biden is “vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency,” according to his physician.
On Thursday, Dr. Kevin O’Connor released details from the president’s physical examination and deemed him “healthy.”
But some medical experts pointed out the exam did not include details about his mental status.
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, an emergency medical professional and a Fox News contributor, told Fox News Digitial she would like to see the results of a “mini mental status exam.”
“How did he do on that? What was his score? I would like to know,” she said, adding, “Physical, mental, emotional health are all as equally important.”
Nesheiwat continued, “The job of the presidency is a very demanding, stressful job. We must ensure our leader is physically, mentally, and emotionally capable, especially when it comes to decisions regarding life and death and the overall health, safety, and well-being of our nation.”
“We need a president who is sharp, shrewd, who has the cognitive stamina and the mental acumen to lead our great country,” she added.
In the report detailing the results from Biden’s physical, O’Connor noted there were no signs consistent with a stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease. He did mention the president has a “stiff gait” and was given custom orthotics.
