Is it just me, or have doctors gotten really bad at their jobs over the last few years?
Specifically, what is going on with the doctors who are supposed to be taking care of all the politicians?
Several high-ranking US politicians appear to be held together by a thread either physically, mentally, or both!
There are the usual suspects like Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, and John Fetterman.
Then there’s the case of Mitch McConnell.
The man has frozen up twice during recent public appearances, yet doctors are claiming he’s totally fine.
Dr. Brian Monahan is the attending physician for Congress, and he had this to say of McConnell following his recent episodes:
“I have consulted with Leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team. After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned.”
He also added that “Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration.”
I’m sorry but that just isn’t enough for the American people.
These people are allegedly running the country on our votes and tax dollars.
America demands better.

Fox News has more on McConnell’s failing health, and his doctor’s claim that he’s fine:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been cleared to resume his “schedule as planned” after he froze for more than 30 seconds while fielding questions from reporters in Covington, Kentucky, on Wednesday.
“I have consulted with Leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team. After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned,” Dr. Brian Monahan, Congress’ attending physician, wrote in a note Thursday.
“Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration,” Monahan added.

One America News has more:
Despite freezing up on two separate occasions at the podium over the past two months, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been cleared to continue work as normal.
Brian Monahan, MD, the attending physician for the U.S. Capitol, released a statement on McConnell’s (R-KY) health and expressed that he had “consulted” with him as well as conferred with his neurology team, claiming he is “medically cleared to continue with his schedule as planned.”
They are just going to sweep any medical concerns for McConnell under the rug, just like they do with Biden, Fetterman, Feinstein, Pelosi, and so many others…
This is not normal:

When asked by media about his intention to run again in 2026, he simply … froze.

What kind of quack “doctors” are treating these people?
WTF? Dude had a kernel crash and the boot sector on his boot drive is corrupt. His memory DIMM's are spitting out E-Cache Parity errors and no lights on the ethernet controller and somehow he is good to go?https://t.co/C2hZekRjS0

McConnell's doctor said he's medically cleared to go back to work 😑
Paraphrased: Could be dehydration which can cause lightheadedness secondary from concussion from previous fall.
This is elder abuse.
