That he chose to air his concern in the media, as a medical doctor giving a public comment on the medical health of a public figure that he has not examined or gained permission to discuss does strike me as unethical in the extreme. Any doctor should know that you never discuss the specific medical conditions of someone publicly without their permission. He should have his medical license revoked immediately.
If he actually had a concern for the physical health of the President of the United States, the proper course of action would be to privately write to the president himself or to his personal physician detailing his concerns. This would be done privately, without press conference or media interviews.
You and I get this, but unfortunately, I'd bet a bunch of fucking sheep out there are saying, "Oh my goodness! Maybe we shouldn't vote for him because of his health!"
