Here are five things to note:
1. Dr. Bornstein said there wasn’t anything riveting to share concerning President-elect Trump’s health and that it did not occur to him that he would be the oldest president. He told STAT, “If something happens to him, then it happens to him. That’s why we have a vice president and a speaker of the House and a whole line of people. They can just keep dying.”
2. Dr. Bornstein went on to say he hasn’t found anything wrong with President-elect Trump aside from that fact that he is slightly overweight.
3. Dr. Bornstein and President-elect Trump’s relationship extends beyond the typical physician-provider relationship, with Dr. Bornstein telling STAT, “There’s no barrier where the patients end and our personal lives begin.” STAT reports that Dr. Bornstein and his spouse have had dinner at the president-elect’s house in Florida.
4. Dr. Bornstein father, Jacob Bornstein, MD, was also a physician who practiced in Manhattan.
5. Dr. Bornstein said President Barack’s Obama health law is harming physicians and patients alike, saying, “Everybody got punished: the rates went up, the services went down, the deductibles went way up.”
