Tim Walz: Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?

[highplainsdem]

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?"

1. Love Tim

😀

[Botany]

2. This will enrage Krasnov

Good.

[vapor2]

3. 47 knows damn well what the MRI was for

He just chooses to be an evasive asshole

[BonnieJW]

9. Maybe he knew,

but he forgot all about it by now

[kacekwl]

4. They told him it was a

Stable venues test. Aced it.

[Tetrachloride]

5. President Trump didn't know that he could ask for the MRI information.

President Trump didn't know that the doctors told him before the MRI.

President Trump didn't know that the doctors told him after the MRI.

President Trump doesn't know what an MRI is.

President Trump doesn't know that we know.

[Botany]

6. So he got an MRI for no reason?

7. It depends on his depends.

[LiberalArkie]

23. Well it was free, not like he had to pay anything.

[Botany]

25. Getting a MRI is not fun. I know that from first hand experience and every time the nurse or technician or

…. 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.

[LiberalArkie]

27. Nope sure not..

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

8. To Trump, MRI only means one thing: "My Russian Indoctrination." That's why he doesn't want to talk about it.

[LudwigPastorius]

10. It was likely a Magnetic Resonance Venography test.

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.

11. I listened toa Keith Olberman podcast about this

My brain I jury gives me short term memory loss, so I cannot tell you the name if the disease, but there is something that makes you unsure/makes you deny stuff like that. He went into detail about it.

[patphil]

12. They're used for lots of things, but brain tumors and strokes come to mind as a common reason.

[popsdenver]

17. In his case

probably done to see how bad his stage three syphillis has advanced in his brain.......

[cstanleytech]

13. Plus an MRI is just an MRI and there is no such thing as a "perfect MRI" like Trump spewed.

[orangecrush]

14. ...

[MLWR]

15. Tim Walz: Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?

Not when you have a hefty co-pay. Then you, sure as shit, want to know what it's for.

[Warpy]

16. I still stand by my best guess

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]

18. I agree on the part about if he actually had an MRI.

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.

[sop]

19. An MRI isn't a routine test for healthy people, it's only ordered when they suspect something is seriously wrong.

Trump is either lying, or he's suffering from dementia.

[PurgedVoter]

20. Either way it's Sundowning

If he doesn't know, it's a way high indication of sundowning. If he is lying about knowing, then that is high indication of sundowning.

[Orrex]

21. Maybe he'll just fucking die already

(Not Walz)

[BidenRocks]

22. Every medical test or procedure requires

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.

(Please choose death!)

[MuirHero]

24. Another possible reason for Trump's MRI.

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.

28. Many recent studies point to the important role these plaques provide

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|

26. He tries to hide everything. My guess is he has some type of cancer

given his more recent ruminations over heaven, in the meantime he knows his days are numbered and therefore trying to squeeze in as many evil acts as he can before he goes.

29. Maybe Trmp lost another cell phone, and they wondered if he had stuck it in his ear.

Plausible, under the circumstances. If the battery were dead they couldn't just dial its number to find out.
