Doctors' letters tout Bernie Sanders's health, three months after heart attack

Bernie Sanders's campaign released letters from three physicians that paint a rosy picture of the 2020 Democrat's health after he suffered a heart attack in the fall.

The first letter covering the Vermont senator's health comes from the Senate's attending physician, Brian Monahan. Sanders, 78, is "in good health currently," and the doctor sees no "limitation" of his "scheduled activities."

Monahan also wrote that Sanders has been treated in the past for gout, high cholesterol, an inflamed colon, a thyroid disorder, laryngitis, lumbar strain, and skin lesions. Sanders is currently prescribed five medications, which includes aspirin, a cholesterol drug, two heart drugs, and a drug used to treat his thyroid condition.
