Biden's personal physician breaks from protocol to reveal why top neurologist and Parkinson's specialist visited the White House eight times in eight months as Democrats go into damage control | 9 July 2024 | The White House is now doing damage control following reports Joe Biden's personal physician met with a top neurologist and Parkinson's specialist at the White House. Biden's personal doctor, Kevin O'Connor, broke protocol Monday, releasing a letter explaining why Dr. Kevin Cannard visited the White House eight times in eight months. The letter came after a frenzied day of speculation over Biden's ailing health, which has been in question since his disastrous first debate with Donald Trump, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre adding fuel Monday by saying the president [sic] has seen a neurologist three times. Cannard is a movement disorder specialist at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.
