Yes, bruising is a common side effect of IV inversion…which is why it would be weird to do it on the president’s hand if they were concerned about optics. There are plenty of places you can put an IV.

The hand or the arm are specifically cited as where to place the IV for this class of drugs (at least in the material I’ve been able to read).

I mean that’s most IV drugs as it’s the least invasive place to do it. However, for someone trying to obscure their health problems an IV in the hand is crazy.

Same for something like a stroke, or even a slip and fall tbi.

The point is that there are plenty of reasons for an elderly person to have bruising on their hands, but experimental Alzheimer’s treatment is a bit far-fetched.

Yeap… Old people bruise easy. Especially if they are on blood thinner because they are obese and mostly eat burgers.

I don’t know why people are thinking this is from an infusion. The hand isn’t the only place you can place an IV, if they wanted to be discreet they could just as easily place it in the forearm.

To me it looks like the regular peripheral bruising you see with patients on a blood thinner like warfarin. A good chunk of my geriatric patient population has regular bruising just like this on their hands/forearms it’s not unusual to see in elderly patients, especially if they like Trump exhibit signs of peripheral vascular disease like edema of the lower limbs.

I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation, so this isn’t exactly my expertise. However, a lot of my patients are geriatrics and a lot of geriatric patients have hand bruising, especially if they are on a blood thinner like warfarin.

Imo when Trump has his meeting with Putin in Alaska when his entire team panicked, I think he had a bit of a stroke. Strokes are pretty common after long plane rides, especially when you are 80 and your diet is mainly fast foods filled with trans and saturated fats.

We already know he’s probably got something like PVD due to his peripheral edema, so a stroke or other cardiovascular events aren’t really surprising. I just think he’s on warfarin or some other thinner that causes peripheral bruising.

I personally doubt this is from an IV, as the hand isn’t the only place you can place those. If he was trying to obscure his treatment they would just place the IV in his forearm.
