The US President Joe Biden underwent colonoscopy under anaesthesia on Friday. White house physician Dr. Kevin O Conner gave a clean health bill to the President on Friday. During the brief procedure, the president transferred his powers to vice president Kamala Harris. She was the US president for 85minutes.
Dr. Kevin O Conner wrote that “President Biden remains a healthy vigorous 78 year old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency”. He diagnosed him to be having “Gastro oesophageal reflux”. These episodes had been very common since some time now but the doctor found no signs of any tumours or polyps. His vocal cords seemed to be working normally.
The president is also suffering from a “perceptibly stiffer and less fluid” gait. This could be due to degenerative wear and tear. The examination also found mild nerve damage in the President’s foot. The doctor suggested him to be fitted with orthotics. There was no major finding otherwise.
Joe Biden is the oldest person ever elected to be the President. He turned 79 on Saturday.
President told the reporters at White House that he is feeling “good”
