John Fetterman’s primary care physician, Dr. Clifford Chen, says the Senate candidate “is well” —and assures us that he has “spoken with [Fetterman’s] neurologist and cardiologist and he will follow-up with them routinely.”
Dr. Cliifford Chen also gave to Fetterman’s campaign, FEC filings reveal. The fact that he’s a donor and a primary care physician (not a specialist) may dramatically decrease the impact of such a “clean bill of health.”
From Chen:
I have spoken with his neurologist and cardiologist and he will follow-up with them routinely. The Lt. Governor takes appropriate medications to optimize his heart condition and prevent future strokes. He also exercises routinely and can walk 4 to 5 miles regularly without difficulty.
Overall, Lt. Governor Fetterman is well and shows strong commitment to maintaining good fitness and health practices. He has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.
From Mediaite:
This past week, Fetterman’s wife called for NBC News to apologize after reporter Dasha Burns questioned his ability to understand what was being communicated to him without the assistance of closed captioning after she interviewed him.
“We did find that in small talk before the interview without captioning, it seemed it was difficult for Fetterman to understand our conversation,” Burns said.
She faced immense backlash.
“I would love to see an apology towards the disability community from her and from her network for the damage they have caused,” Gisele Fetterman said.
