I hate when interviewers don’t let the guest give full answers without interrupting.
-
you get a quadruple certified doctor and you dont let him answer fully, unreal lol
-
“I could have diagnosed him from across the mall.”
-
“They lie to us. They know they are lying to us. They know we know they are lying to us. But they are still lying to us.”
-
Hey Tom...why don't you shut up a second and let the expert fully finish a sentence.
-
Note to interviewer: LET THE DOCTOR TALK you keep interrupting the doctor
-
We've been waiting for a doctor to talk clearly about Biden, and finally we get someone who addresses Pelosi's question--is this an event or a condition. It's upsetting that we finally get someone very helpful and sympathetic, and Llamas is rude and stupid. Thanks very much to Dr. Pitts !!!!
-
I love this doctor, he really said the day before school trying to do the homework lol
-
Bring a doctor on, ask a question, then, interrupt and talk over him the entire time. Do they teach ANYTHING about real journalism these days?
-
Worst reporter ever! Let the doc speak.
-
Let the Doctor answer the questions PLEASE
-
Sounds like to me that the interviewer didn’t like the doctor confirming it is Parkinson’s.
-
The doctor was trying his hardest not to laugh at the stupidity of the reporter.
-
Tom Llamas is so rude! Let the doctor finish. We actually want to know what he has to say!!
-
One thing stands out to me in this whole scenario as a HUGE red flag. ALL police and surveillance teams in KC use drones in a massive way whenever public events are being held. This guy was supposedly laying on an exposed roof with a rifle and the PUBLIC saw him but there was no drone surveillance or footage??? Really?? Something is definitely not right here!!
-
Im a American before everything!! Good man! Thank you Dr. For speaking out trying to help our country!!

I have Parkinson’s. So does Biden. I’m 44, diagnosed 15 years ago. I’m unfortunately an expert in the disease and can identify it easily in others. Watching Biden, I’m looking in mirror. Btw, Sometimes my meds work, called being “on”. Sometimes they don’t, “off”. On or off is near impossible to control. I can literally go from off to on during a conversation (like the debate). Because of on/off nature, he will pass a cognitive test if he’s “on” and it will be used to say he’s fine. But if he took the test when “off”, he will not do well. He might even switch between on/off during the test. That’s how unpredictable this disease is. Ask me how I know… Voice and speech changes are common in people with Parkinson's disease. Some common difficulties include: * Speaking softly or in a reduced volume * Using a monotone voice * Slurring words * Mumbling * Stuttering or stammering * Hoarseness or a strained quality * Breathiness * Uncertain articulation Bradykinesia is a clinical term that refers to slowness of movement, or speed hesitations and halts that occur as movements continue. It can affect voluntary motions, like what you tell your body to do, as well as automatic or repetitive motions. Bradykinesia is a common symptom of movement conditions like Parkinson's disease (PD), and can make everyday tasks difficult. In Parkinson's disease, hypomimia occurs when a lack of dopamine in the brain prevents facial muscles from working as well as they used to. This can make it difficult to smile, raise your eyebrows, or express your feelings, and can sometimes make it look like you have a blank expression In people with Parkinson’s, cognitive deficits may become more severe and impact daily functioning. Similar to slowness of movement (or bradykinesia), people with Parkinson's disease often report slower thinking and information processing (termed “bradyphrenia”) Fatigue is a non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that can feel like a deep physical tiredness that doesn't improve with rest. It can make it feel impossible to move, as if you have no energy. Fatigue can occur at any point in the course of PD, whether movement symptoms are mild or severe.

I felt like the news anchor thought he was the doctor
-
Any elderly presidential nominee should be required to take that 4 hour cognitive test before they’re able to run. Both of them. If they fail, replace the nominees.

Mr. Llamas: When you interview a guest, it would be suggested to not keep interrupting them. I would have liked to hear Dr. Pitts expound on what he was saying instead of being interrupted several times.
