He should have ordered a CT Scan

A CT scan uses X-rays and is faster and better for viewing bone, while an MRI uses magnets and radio waves to provide more detailed images of soft tissues like ligaments, nerves, and organs. The choice depends on the condition; CT scans are often used for emergencies, bone fractures, or when a patient has metal implants, whereas MRIs are used for detailed soft tissue, ligament, or organ problems and avoid radiation. - Google AI

I would ask his doc if he would bet his license on his opinion of chumps overall health.

I didn't think so.

Our Dear Leader deserves a second opinion, just to be sure!
