I think you're right. He never reported it to the police, which struck me as odd if he felt it was such an invasive move.... but then revealing information about patients is a HIPAA violation... so even if he did report, he would then be complicating things for himself... He kept that to himself, but when his official doctor was being ousted, suddenly he found the desire to bring up the raid...

Dr Bornstein’s media interviews come after the man who pipped him to the role of Trump White House doctor, Ronny Jackson, failed in a bid to become Veterans Affairs secretary. Dr Bornstein said reports that Dr Jackson will now not return to his post as White House doctor were a cause for “celebration for me”.

Amusing nugget from the "leak" article...

Dr. Bornstein said he also took finasteride (Propecia) and credited it for helping maintain his own shoulder-length hair and Mr. Trump’s hair. “He has all his hair,” Dr. Bornstein said. “I have all my hair.”

Maybe it doesn’t exist in the States.

It probably isn't legal according to HIPAA... usually there is paperwork involved in that and patients have to sign releases to allow family members access or for a records transfer. So a bit surprised to hear him say "Oh what big deal is it really...?"... um... I would imagine being in the medical business, patient privacy should be pretty up there...? Especially when you're hoping to maintain a celebrity as a client? That's also why a lot of celebrities use fake names when they fill their medications... because they care about their privacy. But I guess they offered him a lot of money to get an interview and weren't interested if he wasn't willing to divulge about his medical history...

Let me think.... Ah, yeah, a lawsuit for 'Grievous Bodily Harm' will do nicely. Oh, and maybe the Tabloids will cough up a few grand if I mention that Trump smelled of B.O as he beat me.

Luvvly Jubbly.
