President Joe Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, met with Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson's disease specialist from Walter Reed Medical Center, at the White House residence clinic on January 17, 2024. According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, this meeting was part of at least nine visits by Dr. Cannard to the White House since July 2023. The meeting, which also included cardiologist Dr. John E. Atwood, was scheduled on January 12th and lasted until midnight. This has raised questions about President Biden's health and the transparency of the White House regarding his medical evaluations. Critics argue that the White House's handling of the situation suggests a potential political motive behind the lack of public disclosure. Notably, this meeting occurred a month before Biden was deemed fit for office based on his annual physical.
