President Joe Biden was deemed “fit for his duties” after he underwent his annual physical Friday morning at Walter Reed Medical Center.
After the physical was complete, his physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote in a memo the president “remains fit for duty, and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”
O’Connor singled out two areas for a detailed investigation an “increasing frequency and severity of “throat clearing and coughing during speaking engagements” and Biden’s abnormal walking.
