DES MOINES – Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday released letters from three doctors, including his primary physician and two cardiologists, showing he is fit and ready to serve as president of the United States.
“You are in good health currently and you have been engaging vigorously in the rigors of your campaign, travel, and other scheduled activities without any limitation,” the Attending Physician of the United States Congress Brian P. Monahan, M.D., who is Sanders’ primary doctor, wrote.
Dr. Monahan’s letter contains the senator’s complete health history and results from recent comprehensive laboratory tests.
As part of his recovery from a heart procedure in early October, Sanders underwent additional tests overseen by doctors at the University of Vermont Medical Center, including a treadmill stress test with continuous EKG monitoring.
“In December 2019, you underwent a successful graded exercise treadmill examination monitoring your heart function, muscular exertion, and oxygen consumption that indicated a maximal level of exertion to 92% of your predicted heart rate without any evidence of reduced blood flow to your heart or symptoms limiting your exercise performance,” Monahan wrote of the treadmill test.
“Mr. Sanders was able to exercise to a level that is approximately 50% higher than other men his age with a similar diagnosis,” Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation at UVM Philip A. Ades wrote in his own letter. “Mr. Sanders is more than fit enough to pursue vigorous activities and an occupation that requires stamina and an ability to handle a great deal of stress.”
“At this point, I see no reason he cannot continue campaigning without limitation and, should he be elected, I am confident he has the mental and physical stamina to fully undertake the rigors of the Presidency,” Martin M. LeWinter, M.D., Sanders’ personal cardiologist and the Attending Cardiologist at UVM, wrote in a separate letter.

I can’t believe that there is 300 socialist idiots in Mason City. The best looking one at that Bernie rally was that nasty Rachel Maddow look a like and she is disgusting. Lol
Wouldn’t it be cool, if at Bernie’s speeches when he is finger-pecking at an invisible typewriter, if he would just go ahead and reach up and throw the carriage over at the end of each sentence? People in the crowd could carry a little bell to ring, just like the old Smith Corona!
I think his supporters would get into it, and it would serve to divert attention away from the Socialist message.
It doesn’t mention that Bernie is Braindead!
It always looks like Bernie combs his hair with a balloon.
The story didn’t say anything about seeing a Psychiatrist.
I wonder how much Bernie’s co-pay was?
