Trump's former doctor says president's associates raided his office and took medical records

The incident at Bornstein's office came two days after the doctor told The New York Times that Trump takes Propecia, a drug for enlarged prostates that is often prescribed to stimulate hair growth in men. Bornstein told the Times that he prescribed Trump drugs for rosacea and cholesterol as well.

Bornstein told NBC that Trump's longtime personal secretary called him after the story ran and said: "So you wanted to be the White House doctor? Forget it, you're out.'"

Bornstein said he wasn't given a form authorizing him to release Trump's records, but said Schiller and Garten took the originals and copies of Trump's charts and lab reports, including records filed under pseudonyms the office used.

Questions were raised about the legality of the seizure. Patients have a right to a copy of their medical records but the original physical record belongs to the doctor, said Dr. Matthew Wynia, director of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado.

It wouldn't surprise me if White House workers are conspiring against Trump. Did you read the latest hit piece against our great, magnificent president from the NYtimes?

What ACTUALLY happened (even according to your own source):

"White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders disputed the doctor's characterization of the episode.

"As is standard operating procedure for a new president, the White House Medical Unit took possession of the president's medical records," she told reporters at a White House briefing."

And what in the HECK...he is spilling personal medical information about the President (OR ANY OTHER PATIENT) PUBLICLY TO THE MEDIA? Yikes!

"The incident at Bornstein's office came two days after the doctor told The New York Times that Trump takes Propecia, a drug for enlarged prostates that is often prescribed to stimulate hair growth in men. Bornstein told the Times that he prescribed Trump drugs for rosacea and cholesterol as well."

Dude needs to lose his medical license. That is a serious breach of privacy to ever discuss someone's medical care or medication without consent and is prevented by federal law.

Agreed that the doctor is a strange character. Trump could have picked whatever doctor he wanted. He picked that one, stayed with him for years. Trusted his reputation enough to have that doctor release a statement about how Trump was in great health, lol.

No duh that SHS said what she did, but she didn't actually refute what the doctor said. It's bizarre as all heck that instead of just requesting the medical files a team went there to forcibly take them. The doctor had the right to talk about that aspect of things. Shouldn't have revealed anything confidential about Trump's medical history but can talk about his behavior.
