Anyone who is not insulted by Trump's scheduled "interview" this evening should

[Atticus]

reconsider their priorities and the poor state of their self-image.

Dr. Marc Siegel---who the hell is this?---will conduct a "medical exam" and "interview" on---are you ready?--- "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT"!

I'll write it out: Jesus. Fucking. Christ!

"YOWZA, YOWZA FOLKS! The Leader Of The Free World will inflame your prejudices and thoroughly disgust you right after our guest geek bites the heads off several live chickens!"

1. if it's rectal exam

[CurtEastPoint]

7. Jeez...talk about WIDE SCREEN FORMAT!

[secondwind]

2. What a riot!

[soothsayer]

3. Hope no one oscillates his mic during his coughing fits

4. I can just see it now.

5. Will there be flies?

6. be interesting to see if the jackass goes through steroid withdrawal when they start to taper him

off it

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I bet they don't taper him

[Ms. Toad]

19. You can't leave him on it forever -

and, assuming he's still taking daily full strength doses, he's approaching the stage at which termination wihout a taper could be extremely hazardous to his health - at least if it works the same way my daughter's steroid treatment did: 15 days on - 50 day taper.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. They'll have to give him a placebo. I'm sure he won't want to go off of it.

[Ms. Toad]

22. Looks like he's got a bit longer before they have to taper him.

Note: Dosing: Evidence to support an optimal dose and duration is lacking for most indications; recommendations provided are general guidelines only and primarily based on expert opinion. In general, glucocorticoid dosing should be individualized and the minimum effective dose/duration should be used. For select indications with weight-based dosing, consider using ideal body weight in obese patients, especially with longer durations of therapy (Erstad 2004; Furst 2019a). Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) suppression: Although some patients may become hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) suppressed with lower doses or briefer exposure, some experts consider HPA-axis suppression likely in any adult receiving >3 mg/day (daytime dosing) or ?0.75 mg per 24 hours (evening or night dosing) for >3 weeks or with Cushingoid appearance (Furst 2019b; Joseph 2016); do not abruptly discontinue treatment in these patients; dose tapering may be necessary (Cooper 2003).

But - as to wanting to stay on it - he is vain enough about his appearance that he won't want to. Being on a longer course of steroids is hazardous to one's appearance.

My daughter's enhanced mood lasted between 6 months and a year, so he likely won't notice the difference right away.

8. I don't think we can call him the leader of the free world. n/t

cognitive exam.

10. Who is going to trust this shitt show

[Botany]

11. Q. & A.

Dr. Marc Siegel, You do know that you are dying and that there is really little we can do about it don't
you know that Mr. President?

Trump, But am I still getting good ratings?

[RockCreek]

12. Part of a full medical exam is an assessment

And one cannot do that accurately without a full medical history.
Dr. Marc Siegal, do you have full access to all past and recent history?
Why are you putting your license on the line for political theater?

[LuckyCharms]

14. Here's Carlson viewing trump's prostate exam...

[rurallib]

15. Pucker up and give that butt a big kiss, Tuck!

16. This doctor is a quack

17. I don't pay any attention to anything that happens on Fox.

So it’s not something I’ll waste time thinking about.
