The former personal doctor of President Trump said three people showed up at his office demanding Trump's medical records in February of 2017 and the experience felt like "rape." Doctor Harold Bornstein, Trump's longtime personal physician, said it was a bodyguard for Trump and one of the Trump Organization's lawyers who came to his office and took his medical files.

Bornstein said the whole experience left him feeling, "raped, frightened and sad. I can’t believe anybody was making a big deal out of a drug to grow his hair." Trump's bodyguard Keith Schiller and two others came for the records on February 3, 2017, just two days after Bornstein told news media he had given President Trump a hair growth treatment for years. It seems Bornstein may have violated patient confidentiality laws by revealing that the president uses Propecia since any prescribed medications should be private, even hair growth treatments.
At the time, Schiller was on the White House payroll, but Bornstein said the seizure constituted a violation of patient privacy law since they took the records without being given a HIPAA release form. The HIPPA is a means of authorizing the release of the records, something Bornstein says they didn't have.

When a CBS news reporter named Kaci Sokoloff tried contacting Bornstein for an interview he declined. All Bornstein said to Sokoloff was, "Sweetheart, this is Watergate, goodbye!" White House press secretary Sarah Sanders addressed the seizure of President Trump's medical records Tuesday saying it was not a raid but rather "standard procedure for the president, a newly elected president's medical records, to be in possession by the White House Medical Unit."
Bornstein's practice is in Manhattan's Upper East Side where he has been Trump's doctor since 1980. Before the election, Bornstein said Trump would be the "healthiest individual ever elected." Relations between the President and his former doctor seem to have taken a turn for the worst.

Bornstein appeared on CNN Tuesday to say that Trump actually "dictated" the letter that spoke highly of his health. "He dictated that whole letter. I didn’t write that letter, I just made it up as I went along." His words seem unsure about whether he wrote the letter or not saying both that he didn't write the letter and that he made it up as he went along. Which is it, Dr. Bornstein?

I wish that people who have never been raped would quit saying that it felt like rape or that people who never suffered PTSD say it's worse than PTSD.
Perhaps The POTUS did not want his records "doctored" by the Doc!
