Parkinson’s expert at Walter Reed medical center has visited White House eight times since August 2023 – report

Joe Biden’s doctor met with a leading Washington DC neurologist at the White House this year, it was reported on Saturday.

The report came after Biden on Friday ruled out taking an independent cognitive test and releasing its findings publicly, in an interview with ABC News arranged following his disastrous performance in last week’s presidential TV debate with Donald Trump.

According White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed medical center, met with Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years.

The visit took place at the White House residence clinic on 17 January. Cannard has visited the White House house eight times since August 2023. On seven of those visits, most recently in late March, he met with Megan Nasworthy, a liaison between Walter Reed and the White House.

    10 AM to 4 PM?

    That means he’s likely sundowning, so progressing dementia

      Not to dox myself too hard, but I’ve worked in EMS with a specialty in elder care.

      Joe needs some rest and a different, less stressful job. He is most certainly sun downing and it’s bordering on elder abuse with the attempts to gaslight people into believing it’s a cold.

      I’d love to see Biden in an advisory role or as a source of wisdom for the next DNC candidate.

      LOL! He’s not Sundowning he’s just old!

      It’s a stereotype as old as time: Old people get up early and don’t like staying up late. It’s not a sign of dimensia it’s a sign of age.

      A proper outward sign of dimensia would be issues with balance. Has he been stumbling? Does he seem to lose his balance if he has to make a sharp turn or during quick turns of his head? Trouble with stairs or ramps? That sort of thing.
