The doctor said Fetterman “spoke intelligently without cognitive deficits,” but continues to show signs of auditory processing disorder.
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office,” his primary care physician wrote in a letter released to the Philadelphia Inquirer, five months after Fetterman suffered a stroke.
The letter comes one week after NBC reporter Dasha Burns pressed Fetterman on whether he was healthy enough to serve and why he wouldn’t release more medical records in an interview on October 11. Due to auditory processing issues, Fetterman used closed captioning to read Burns’ questions, and Burns sparked controversy when she said Fetterman appeared to have trouble understanding small talk before the interview–a comment disputed by other journalists who have interviewed Fetterman.
