White House Faces Scrutiny Over Parkinson’s Specialist’s Nine Visits
Jul 8, 2024, 08:50 PM
The White House has faced intense scrutiny over the frequent visits of Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease specialist from Walter Reed, to President Joe Biden's medical team. Visitor logs reveal that Dr. Cannard visited the White House nine times over the past year, including on January 17th, sparking questions about Biden's health. During a heated press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden has seen a neurologist three times but denied that the president is being treated for Parkinson's disease. Jean-Pierre cited security and privacy reasons for not disclosing further details. In response to the controversy, Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, released a letter clarifying that Dr. Cannard's visits were part of Biden's annual physical exams and that no signs of a central neurological disorder were found. The letter also stated that Dr. Cannard conducted regular neurology clinics for active-duty members assigned to the White House.
