Everyone knows older relatives and friends who have failed to remember. It is one of the most comfortable experiences of life, and as dementia progresses, frustration and uncertainty increases as you reach for memories that are no longer there. Parent Relatives and caretakers may feel worried and helpless, despite the patient's own denial of the problem. Walking may be affected depending on the particular diagnosis, resulting in more frequent falls.
Most people will agree that there is a difference in seeing symptoms of dementia and cognitive slippage. Of course, the president's concern is to demonstrate his continued ability to perform office duties at the highest level. The president's annual body has become the standard for measuring his ability. This is why he is being scrutinized for his report that Dr. Kevin O'Connor, a White House physician, reassuring the American people that Biden deserves to serve in excellent health. In February 2024, he wrote: “The highly detailed neurological examination was once again relieved that there were no finds consistent with cerebellar or other neurological disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and ascending lateral sclerosis.
However, the letter's missing from previous letters on President Biden's health was a reference to MRI of brain or neurocognitive testing. Peripheral neuropathy or sensory loss in his limbs is not the cause of fitness concerns. Furthermore, if there is debate among White House insiders about the possibility of wheelchair use as a new book, “Original Sin,” by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson, this is no reason to question fitness. FDR served famously from a wheelchair during World War II, even if he tried to hide it so that he would not show any weakness to the Nazis.

Biden's walking or weakness would have been important only when he was president, if it had been linked to progressive neurodegenerative disorders. But was this rating completely accurate or comprehensive? I don't know. But what we know is, now that special advisor Robert Herr's audiotape has finally been released, Biden clearly suffered in an era of great disorientation and memory loss while involving very important events, such as when his son died or when he took office as Vice President. Listening to these moments on tape is very calm and enough to question your fitness, in contrast to reading them on a transcript. But nothing was done except for obvious obfuscation and concealment.

From Woodrow Wilson to FDR, Eisenhower, to Ronald Reagan, there was a long history of obscuring the health of the president. There is debate as to whether he began to show mild signs of cognitive impairment in his second term.
However, this history of lack of disclosure does not make it right.

It remains to be seen what former President Biden is suffering from. He suffered from a cerebral aneurysm and bleeding in 1988, which was repaired by an open method (cranial muscle) that could lead to long-term cognitive problems and suffered from atrial fibrillation (irregularly irregular heartbeat). There is a risk of vascular dementia.
Whatever the underlying cause of his disorientation and memory lapses, we often wish him. But we also want the country to have an era of greater disclosure and transparency, especially when it comes to the best offices.
