What is the possible cause of bruising?
According to a White House spokesman, the bruises may have been caused by shaking hands with hundreds of people in Trump’s campaign and public duties.
But doctors show that there may be more due to Trump’s age. Trump is 78 years old, making him the second largest president in American history. According to the report, his age may be the cause of the injury.
According to the Daily Mail, New York physician Stuart Fischer said bruises could be the result of osteoarthritis. According to reports, osteoarthritis causes worsening of cartilage and bones in joints, making the skin weaker and more susceptible to bruising. He also said that if Trump had osteoarthritis, it would not only cause bruises, but also caused edema and swelling.
Maybe it’s intravenous or blood drawn?
According to the Daily Mail, although Neal H., an internal medicine physician and primary care physician at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Providence, California, also said that according to reports, venous needles sometimes damage the walls of the vein and penetrate blood into surrounding tissue.
However, Dr. Fischer went on to clarify that “the bruises are not the right place” because it comes from IV because there are not enough veins there, as cited by the Daily Mail.
Are you responsible for shaking hands?
While some social media users suspect that Trump’s prolific handshake might be the culprit behind the bruises, Dr. Fischer and Dr. Patel both dismissed the assumption. “I see a lot of patients who are businessmen, and I’ve never really seen them get hurt from too many handshakes,” Dr. Patel said.
The doctor said it was not an emergency
Despite the shocking appearance of the bruises, both doctors stress that bruises are not a sign of a major health condition. Dr. Fischer said, “I definitely don’t think this is any emergency,” as quoted by The Daily Mail.
