Some concerns:

Just days after being prescribed a powerful cocktail of drugs to treat his coronavirus infection, President Trump returned to the Oval Office on Wednesdayas he delivered a barrage of incendiary tweets that referred to a “treasonous plot” and “coup” against him.

Trump’s behavior, which included tweets about ending negotiations with Democrats over an economic stimulus package and then more tweets about resuming those negotiations, appeared erratic even by his standards and raised questions among some medical professionals about the effect of the treatment on his mental state and whether it impacted his ability to govern.

And not just among medical professionals! Among complete amateurs too! Trump’s behavior raises very pressing questions among me for instance.

Similar drugs, known as corticosteroids, have also been linked to a wide range of other psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and various cognitive difficulties, said Dr. Jacob Appel, a psychiatrist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.

“Doctors would want to keep a careful eye on any patient using dexamethasone to make certain that he is not behaving erratically or displaying mood or memory symptoms,” Appel said.

You’d think! But that doesn’t seem to be happening. At all.

“The president’s own doctors would be wise to monitor all of his actions, public and private, including Twitter postings, to determine whether there is a possibility of psychosis,” he said. “If they have any significant concerns, then direct evaluation by an independent psychiatrist would certainly be appropriate.”

Indeed. But instead we have Sean Conley saying what Trump tells him to say. It’s not very confidence-inspiring.

“The president this morning says, ‘I feel great,’ ” wrote Conley, who provided no additional information about Trump’s treatment, including whether he is still taking dexamethasone or other medication.

Yes we know what he says he feels but we kind of hoped you would probe a little more deeply than that.

While Trump may betolerating the drugs without psychological impact, it’s important that he designate someone to evaluate him and empower them to take action if they determine he is impaired, Wynia said.

Yeeeaaah that’s not happening.
