Bush Gets Shoulder MRI, Visits Soldiers at Walter Reed

President's pain likely just result of wear and tear, docs say

Share

(Newser) – President Bush underwent an MRI today after complaining of pain in his shoulder, the AP reports. The test was done at Walter Reed Medical Center where Bush was visiting convalescing Iraq war veterans, perhaps for the last time during his presidency. A White House doctor said the injury had not limited the president’s activities, and was probably just the result of aging.

Jaguar, you are so correct. The MRI should have above his shoulders, but then again nothing would have showed up. Reply
