Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

. Dr. told me what they looking at and the reason why the test was ordered. If they were doing brain
scans you have to lay there for a length of time, not move, in a very claustrophobic environment.

(13,924 posts)This is done in an MRI machine after a dye injection to map out any irregularities in your veins.
Trumps swollen ankles and dark, blotchy hands indicate venous insufficiency. The docs were probably trying to rule out blood clots as a cause of his bloating.

(114,299 posts)that they were putting a Portacath in and he had a CT scan to check for calcification in his major vessels. That's beyond his understanding and having a medical device of any type implanted is a blow to his perfect body image so he'll hever own up to it.
The latest treatments for dementia are by infusion, meaning his superficial veins were getting too much of a workout. Notice he hasn't been in the black hand society since his "MRI....perfect."
If he'd actually had an MRI, he'd still be kvetching about it.
Katinfl
(570 posts)does he actually know what an MRI is? For all we know, he could just be making this stuff up to make him look important and then he could brag about the excellent results. Total fantasy in his small, warped, sick mind.

(2,592 posts)a nurse or doctor to explain what's going to happen, AND WHY!
It's called "Informed Consent"!
I don't care who you are. No signature, no procedure.
To do otherwise would be malpractice. Since they know chump, they know he will sue.
Sign or die! Your choice.

(79 posts)This is from FB so take it for what it's worth but this explanation from a physical therapist who has a doctorate and 14 years of experience treating geriatric patients sounds credible to me.
His explanation is that Trump is being treated with the drug kisluna for his worsening dementia/Alzheimer's, which is given intravenously once a month, followed by an MRI of the brain. This would explain the bruising of his hand that was visible before Trump had the MRI. The drug works to slow down the advance of Alzheimer's by attacking the amyloid plaques and tangles in the brain. Monthly MRIs are required to determine whether the drug is efficacious in either stabilizing or reducing the amyloid plaques and tangles in the brain.
If Trump exhibits bruising in his hand again in another month from now and gets another MRI, that would appear to confirm this speculation. We can all see that his cognitive and physical decline are continuing to accelerate. The physical therapist believes that Trump only has 5 to 7 months to live. That would explain Trump's expressed concern about going to heaven.

(3,451 posts)They are now saying those drugs are NOT beneficiall, that they show results against dementia for a short time then they actually cause damage. In this case that's a very good thing.[link:Why new Alzheimer's drugs may not work for patients | From Our Neurons to Yours podcast https://share.google/YFTTeUhfLUR5HXveP|
