President Biden's doctor explains why Parkinson's expert showed up to the White House numerous times

The Biden administration went into damage control mode Monday after reports surfaced that a neurologist specializing in Parkinson's disease made numerous visits to the White House in recent months.
The explanation comes as President Joe Biden faces continued questions on his mental acuity as several Democratic lawmakers have called on the president to exit the 2024 presidential race.
In a letter from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who serves as the physician to the president, he said neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard made numerous visits to the White House campus in his capacity in the White House Medical Unit. O'Connor said many of the visits were part of neurology clinics intended for active duty military members who serve at the White House.
"Prior to the pandemic, and following its end, he has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active duty members assigned in support of White House operations," O'Connor wrote. "Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr. Cannard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology practice. We value the contributions he has made across the many patients he has treated in support of the White House and its personnel over these years."

He should be being evaluated for dementia, not parkinsons...

Parkinson's Dementia is a diagnosis. According to several neurosurgeons Feeble Joe is displaying the symptoms of that.

@kingace6186 14 күн бұрын

That's not how that works. After a certain age, everyone will have dementia. Dementia is just the medical term for an old brain. Parkinson's' is an illness that materialized from dementia or some other brain deterioration. Alzheimer is another one. Seriously. A simple google search

@IMCcanTWEESTED 15 күн бұрын

Parkinson's can present with dementia in many of its sufferers. A friend of a friend was diagnosed with Alzheimer-like dementia, but the diagnosis was later upgraded to Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's dementia often causes delusory apparitions. You see old friends or loved ones that aren't really there. Could explain why Joe is always shaking hands with ghosts.

The reason she wound up as Press Secretary is because when all the candidates were gathered in the West Wing, Joe nudged Ron Klain, pointed at Karine, and said, "Pick-A-Ninny!" Unfamiliar with the outdated racial epithet, Ron approached KJP and told her that she had been hand picked by President Biden.
