Kevin O'Connor, the president's physician, said one small lesion on Biden’s chest was removed and sent for biopsy.
At that time, O'Connor first observed that the president, then 78, had a "stiffened" gait following a foot fracture. In Thursday's memo, O'Connor said Biden's gait "remains stiff, but has not worsened."
Biden continues to take medication and is asymptomatic for a heart arrhythmia know as atrial fibrillation, O'Connor said. Additionally, he takes medication for cholesterol, which remains "remarkably low," the memo said. The exam did not include cognitive testing. In a neurological assessment, the president did not show signs of any issues, the memo said.
