Too many Misconception and confusing updates from doctors and officials with regards to the health status and recovery process of President Donald Trump have flooded the internet as earlier reported by bluebloodz.com . Read Here
In a bid to clarify the situation of things , – The White House says Trump’s doctor misspoke when he earlier said that the president was “72 hours” into his illness.
A White House official told reporters that Dr Sean Conley had meant to say that Trump was on “Day 3” of the infection, counting from Thursday evening.
Seventy-two hours would place the president’s diagnosis on Wednesday morning – which as our North America reporter Anthony Zurcher points out, is before the president travelled to Minnesota for a campaign rally that night, before he flew to New Jersey for a fund-raiser on Thursday and more than 36 hours before the president revealed his diagnosis in a late-night tweet.
The White House also said that another member of Trump’s medical team had meant to say that it was “Day 2” – not 48 hours – since the experimental drug Regeneron was administered to Trump.
ICYMI –
President Trump received oxygen at the White House on Friday before he left for Walter Reed hospital. But what is less clear is why.
The New York Times said he had trouble breathing, leading doctors to give him additional oxygen.
But it is unclear this was the case, or that the president was in need of the oxygen. Patients may be given oxygen as a default option in this situation.
At a briefing on the president’s health earlier his personal physician Dr Sean Conley said he was not currently on oxygen, but refused repeatedly to rule out that he had received supplemental oxygen.
