Democratic US Senate candidate John Fetterman has said he expected to make a full recovery from a stroke, a process continuing just weeks before the election.
Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz has made a major campaign issue of his opponent's health.
Last night, NBC News aired an interview with Fetterman, in which he used a closed captioning device to read questions in real time just as he did in an earlier interview on the Big K Morning Show.
CBS News Medical Contributor Dr. David Agus, “Most of the recovery of a stroke happens in the first three months or so, he’s at month five. Can more recovery happen? It’s certainly possible, but it’s certainly not guaranteed.”
Fetterman has said it has affected the way he lives his day-to-day life, specifically his hearing and pronunciation of certain words or phrases.
He reassured that he doesn’t think it will have an impact on his ability to serve as senator, as he’s able to retain his memories and thoughts.
The Oz campaign continues to call on Fetterman to release his medical records, something he has refused to do so far.
