DAVID MUIR (HOST): Are these her medical records? 

DR. RICHARD BESSER: No, these aren’t medical records either, but here's the difference -- when you combine this with what she released last year, you get a very detailed picture of her history, her family history, the diseases that run in her family, the problems she's had in the past. And we get a follow up. We learn about her thyroid disease, her CT scan following her blood clot, and her pneumonia. This is the kind of detailed summary I would expect to get from another doctor who is referring me a patient. And it's enough for me to evaluate her campaign saying she's fit to be president.
