Washington — President Trump is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Friday morning for what the White House says is his "routine yearly checkup," just six months after undergoing what the White House at the time described as his "annual physical examination" at the same facility.

Learn the things you should never do before a physical, like drink alcohol or caffeine, and find out how you can show up ready for a physical checkup with your doctor.
