CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Calls For 'Public Assessment' Of Trump's Injuries After Shooting

The neurosurgeon suggested that Donald Trump be screened for "psychological trauma" and other health concerns following the attempt on his life.

CNN’s chief medical correspondent is calling for a “public assessment” of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s injuries after the attempt on his life, arguing that voters deserve to know the results of a medical evaluation.

“A full public assessment of Trump’s injuries is necessary, for both the former president’s own health and the clarity it can provide for voters about the recovery of the man who could become president of the United States once again,” neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta wrote in a Friday article.

“The concern is that gunshot blasts near the head can cause injuries that aren’t immediately noticeable, such as bleeding in or on the brain, damage to the inner ear or even psychological trauma.”

The gunman who opened fire at a Trump campaign event last week in Pennsylvania killed one attendee and injured two others, while the former president said that a bullet “pierced” his right ear.

Although a spokesperson said shortly after the incident that Trump was “fine,” Gupta noted that “most of what we know about his injury is based on what we’ve seen in pictures and video, and from secondhand accounts.”
