require more oxygen, maybe go to the intensive care unit. because he feels much better doesn't give me much reassurance at this point. >> according to the prt's doces doctors, his condition continues to improve and it appears he is in good spirits there. the president's medical team over the weekend did clarify confusion about trump's oxygen levels dropping twice over a three-day period. but as we've heard from several doctors, not directly involved with the president's care, the next 7 to 10 days will be absolutely critical ain monitoring his condition and finding out if he's out of the woods. reporting live, julian glover, abc7 news. thank you. a california scientist just won the nobel prize in medicine for the discovery of help tig hepatitis c. dr. charles rice was born in sacramento and graduated from uc davis.
