Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman 'can work full duty in public office,' his doctor wrote in a medical report. Fetterman’s opponent, GOP nominee Mehmet Oz, has repeatedly suggested the Democrat's recovery leaves him unfit to serve.
Those issues are improving, Fetterman’s doctor said in the letter, though not yet fully resolved.
At his appointment Friday, Fetterman “spoke intelligently without cognitive deficits. His speech was normal and he continues to exhibit symptoms of an auditory processing disorder which can come across as hearing difficulty,” Chen wrote. “Occasional words he will ‘miss’ which seems like he doesn’t hear the word but it is actually not processed properly. His hearing of sound such as music is not affected.
Overall, Fetterman’s communication is “significantly improved,” thanks to speech therapy sessions he has regularly attended since the stroke, Chen said in the note.earlier this month, Fetterman acknowledged the stroke “changes everything,” about his life, but affirmed that it would not impact his ability to serve in the Senate.
“I feel like I’m gonna get better and better, every day,” Fetterman said in the interview. “And by January, I’m going to be, you know, much better. And Dr. Oz is still going to be a fraud.”
