Joe Biden brilliantly passes his first check-up since becoming president of the United States. White House physician Kevin O'Connor certified that Biden "remains a healthy and vigorous 78-year-old man, capable of successfully fulfilling the duties of the presidency, as head of state, chief executive and commander in chief ".
But some points are nevertheless brought to light: the increasing frequency and severity of his "clearing his throat" require a thorough investigation. His pace is also stiffer, less fluid than a year ago, largely due to the wear of the spine, while cardiac atrial fibrillation persists but remains asymptomatic. The president also has occasional refluxes that require medical consultation.
During the exams, Biden underwent a colonoscopy with anesthesia and in those hours the US had a female president for the first time in history: the tenant of the White House has in fact transferred the power of the presidency to his deputy Kamala Harris .
