Dr. David Scheiner - Obama’s Doctor Disagrees with His Health Plans

Barack Obama’s personal physician, Dr. David Scheiner, a Chicago based internist, passes Obama on his ‘excellent health’, but fails him in the way he’s building Health Care System for the country.

After 22 years of faithful doctor-patient relationship, Dr. Scheiner is still a huge Obama supporter.  However, being a doctor in an urban low income community mixed with famous clients such as the president himself, the doctor has seen and heard it all.  He worries that Obama is not seeing the harsh issues of those in need.

“I’m not sure he really understands what we face in primary care,” Scheiner says.

Scheiner is also concerned with Obama’s team of health advisers making the most important decisions on behalf of over 300 million people in United States.

“I have a suspicion they pick people from the top echelon of medicine, people who write about it but haven’t been struggling in it.  He doesn’t see all the pain, it’s so tragic out here,” he says. “Obama’s wonderful, but on this one I’m not sure if he’s getting the right input.”

DOES YOUR DOCTOR AGREE WITH OBAMA’S HEALTH PLAN?

    You should note that Barack Obama’s doctor gives him a clean bill of health. Here is the whole report of Barack Obama’s physical exam:

    DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
    Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
    1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615

    To Whom It May Concern:

    I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.

    During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.

    His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.

    Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.

    Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.

    In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.

    Sincerely,

    David L. Scheiner, M.D.
