STORY AROUND SENATOR BERNIE
SANDERS, HE IS TAKING TIME OFF
OF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AFTER
HAVING A HEART
PROCEDURE FOR A BLOCKED ARTERY
FOLLOWING CHEST DISCOMFORT AT A
CAMPAIGN EVENT THAT WAS EARLIER
THIS WEEK.
>> THE 78 YEAR-OLD DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WAS
TREATED AT A LAS
VEGAS HOSPITAL. SANDERS TOOK TO
TWITTER YESTERDAY SAYING THAT
HE WAS FEELING, GOOD.
HE WROTE QUOTE A MAN OF US KNOW
IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY MIGHT
AFFECT US AND NO ONE SHOULD
FEAR GOING BANKRUPT, IF
IT OCCURS.
>> MEDICARE FOR ALL DOCTOR JON
KARL IS HERE THIS MORNING TO
TALK ALL ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS
OF THIS DOC KAUTO WELCOME BACK
TO THE SHOW ALWAYS
A PLEASURE TO GET YOUR
INSIGHTS, WE UNDERSTAND SENATOR
SANDERS IS NOT YOUR PATIENT AND
YOU CAN'T KNOW IS PRIVATE
MEDICAL HISTORY, BUT HERE'S
WHAT WE KNOW SENATOR SANDERS
REPORTED EXPERIENCING CHEST.
THIS COMFORT AND ULTIMATELY HAD
A PROCEDURE WHICH INCLUDED
HAVING 2 STENTS PUT IT AS A
DOCTOR WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU.
>> WELL THAT TELLS ME A NUMBER
OF FIRST HEART DISEASE IS
LIKELY AT PLAY WE KNOW THAT
PART SEAS IS
A VERY COMMON THING IN THIS
COUNTRY IS ACTUALLY THE NUMBER
ONE KILLER AND HEART DISEASE IS
USUALLY THE REASON WHY WE PUT
STENTS IN THE HEART
TO BASICALLY LOCK EXCUSE ME TO
OPEN UP OUR TREES THAT MAY BE
NARROWING ARE GETTING BLOCKED
USING COMPLEX OR THINGS LIKE
THAT WOULD LEAD TO HEART
DISEASE.
VERY LIKE FOR A PROCEDURE
LIKE THIS. YEAH, YOU KNOW
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH RECEIVING
HEART STENTS AND AGAIN THESE
ARE STANCE UP PRESUMABLY AGAIN
NOT AS DOCTOR AND I'M JUST SORT
OF PRESUMING ABOUT WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN. BUT PRESUMABLY HE
RECEIVED A STANCE TO HIS
CORONARY ARTERIES, THOSE
ARTERIES AT SIR
AROUND THE HEART AND THE OXYGEN
RICH BLOOD TO THE HEART OF THE
PARTISAN MUSCLE SO IT NEEDS
BLOOD AND
OXYGEN TO IF ONE OF ARTERIES
GETS BLOCKED THEN YOU CAN HAVE
PROBLEMS AND THAT'S OFTEN TIMES
WHAT WE'RE PUTTING THE STEPS
NOW 2 MILLION OF THESE
PROCEDURES ARE TYPICALLY DONE
EVERY YEAR IT'S RELATIVELY COM
AND IT'S
MINIMALLY INVASIVE MOST PEOPLE
ACTUALLY DO RATHER WELL AND
THEY CAN KIND OF GET BACK TO
ACTION RELATIVELY SOON AFTER
THE PROCEDURE. BAR YOU NEED
PARTICULAR COMPLICATIONS AND
THE CAMPAIGN WOULDN'T SAY
SENATOR SANDERS HAD SUFFERED A
HEART
ATTACK BEFORE.
>> IF HE HAS HAD A HEART ATTACK
WOULD THAT WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN
FOR HIS LONG-TERM HEALTH.
>> ALSO THIS IS THE THING I
MEAN IT'S REALLY HARD TO KNOW
AS YOU MENTIONED IF HE'S HAD A
HEART ATTACK BEFORE
IT SEVERAL, HIS
UNDERLYING OF HEART ALL OF
THOSE FACTORS SO WOULD GO INTO
WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD RECEIVE
A STEADY AND ALL THOSE FACTORS
WOULD DETERMINE WHAT IT MEANS
IN THE
FUTURE SO YOU NOT TO BE NOT TO
BE SECURITAS BUT BUT THE TRUTH
IS WE WE REALLY DON'T KNOW THE
HOPE THOUGH IS THAT WITH THE
STEADY HE GOES ON TO DO VERY
VERY WELL AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT WE WON THE SITUATION.
>> THEIRS IS THE OLDEST
IN THE 2020 DEMOCRATIC FIELD HE
IS 5 YEARS OLDER THAN
PRESIDENT TRUMP. THERE HAVE
BEEN PLENTY OF PRESIDENTS WHO
TOOK OFFICE IN THEIR 60'S AND
AGE JUST
A NUMBER OR IS THERE A REAL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 60'S 70'S
WHEN IT COMES TO POTENTIAL
HEALTH RISKS.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW AS AS A
FAMILY DOCTOR AND AS A
DOCTOR I I ALWAYS SAY YOU KNOW
PEOPLE ARE NOT CREATED EQUALLY
AND YES THERE ARE DIFFERENCES
AS WE GO THROUGHOUT LIFE THAT'S
JUST A FACT THAT SORT OF A FACT
OF LIFE RIGHT WE'RE NOT THE
SAME BUT
WE'RE 40 AS WE WERE 60 OR 70 OR
80 AH, BUT YOU KNOW AS ALSO AS
A FAMILY PHYSICIAN, IT'S ALWAYS
BEEN A REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME
TO TO NOT BE
A JUST ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT
FAMILY DOCTORS I HAVE PATIENTS
WHO ARE 95 YEARS OLD THAT ARE
SHARPER.
IT SOMETIMES THAT I FEEL ARE
SHARPER THAN MY PATIENTS WHO
ARE HALF THEIR SO
YOU KNOW AND IN THE IN THE
SPIRIT OF NOT BEING A GIST OF
IT IS SUING
THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE
PROBLEMS ARE WOULD BE PROBLEM
SIMPLY BECAUSE OF SOME AND AGE
I SAY
LOOK OF THE GROUP IS IN THE
PUDDING, LET'S SEE HOW THINGS
GO LET'S SEE HOW HE DOES WITH
ANY OF THE CANDIDATES, QUITE
HONESTLY.
>> ALL RIGHT DOCTOR JEN CODDLE
AS ALWAYS PLEASURE TO GET YOUR
INSIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR
BREAKING THIS DOWN AND YOUR
