Confusing reports about the state of Donald Trump's health have intensified the focus on his physician for the past two years, Sean Conley. It is not the first time a physician to Mr Trump has found himself at the centre of controversy over his statements. Ronny Jackson, who was the first presidential physician, also gave Mr Trump a glowing medical testimony, saying he had "great genes". Dr Conley, who took on the role of presidential physician in March 2018, deemed Mr Trump to be in "very good health" following a physical exam in February last year. As presidential physician, Dr Conley was thrust into the public spotlight in May when it emerged that Mr Trump had been taking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine.
