A report by the NY Post Claims that a top neurologist in Washington, D. C., met with President Baden’s personal doctor at the White House earlier this year.
According to the publication, visitor log shows that Dr.Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed Medical Center, met with Dr. Kevin O’Connor (Biden’s personal doctor) and tow others at the White House residence clinic on January 17.
This revelation comes amid growing questions about the 81-year old president’s mental health following his debate gaffe last week with former President Donald Trump.
The logs also indicate that Dr. John E. Atwood, a cardiologist at Walter Reed, attended the 5 P.M. meeting. The fourth person present has not been identified, but Biden was at the White House that day hosting House and Senate leaders to push for more Ukraine funding.
Cannard, a prominent figure in Parkinson’s research, has worked at Water Reed for nearly 20 years and has supported the White House Medical Unit since 2012. His latest paper, published in august 2023 in the journal Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, focuses on the early stages of the disease.
Given that President Biden’s health is O’Connor’s primary responsibility, it is highly likely the meeting was about the president, according to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tx), the former doctor for both President Obama and Trump.
”It is highly likely they were talking about Biden,” Jackson said to the Post.
“He should only be (regularly) treating the president and the first family.”
O’Connor has served as Biden’s official physician since he took office in January 2021 and maintains daily contact with the president.
