Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin released a medical summary from her doctor late last night, only hours before the polls opened.
The campaign released a two-page letter from Palin’s physician declaring her “in excellent health.”
The release came two weeks after the GOP vice-presidential nominee had publicly promised to disclose her medical records. She was the only candidate who had not done so.
Palin did not release the records themselves. But the letter, written by Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, Palin’s family physician, details her recent medical history and her five pregnancies.
Palin’s first four pregnancies were normal. But Palin’s youngest child, Trig, was born about five weeks early and with Down syndrome. The Down syndrome was detected early in the second trimester, Baldwin-Johnson said.
Baldwin-Johnson concluded that Palin “is in excellent health and has no known health problems that would interfere with her ability to carry out the duties and obligations of Vice President of the United States of America.”
