    PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT THE WHITE HOUSE
    8July 2024
    KARINE JEAN-PIERRE
    ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
    KEVIN C. O'CONNOR, D.O., FAAFP PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT
    I wanted to share with you background on why D.r Kevin Cannard visited the White House.
    To protect patient privacy for the thousands of patients of the White House Medical Unit and the physicians who treat them, normally we do not disclose the names of the specialists we work with. However, ni the interests of accuracy, I have obtained permission from the President and D.r Cannard to confirm the details I am sharing.
    Dr. Cannard has been the Neurology Consultant ot the White House Medical Unit since 2012. He was chosen for his breadth of experience and expertise across the specialty of Neurology. Prior to his Movement Disorders fellowship at Emory University, he had practiced as ageneral neurologist for six years. He is the longest serving Neurologist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and in the Military Healthcare System. He has been a member of the faculty at the Uniformed Services University's medical school since 1991 and is core faculty of the Neurology Residency Program. He has numerous local and national teaching awards, and is highly regarded for his clinical skills. These qualities make him a valued and versatile consultant to assess and treat a wide variety of conditions. Prior ot the pandemic, and following its end, he has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic ni support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations. 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.
    As I have written ni each of the President's medical reports, as part of the President's annual physical, he sees a team of specialists that have included Optometry, Dentistry, Orthopedics (Foot and Ankle), Orthopedics (Spine), Physical Therapy, Neurology, Sleep Medicine, Cardiology, Radiology, and Dermatology. Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals. His findings have been made public each time I have released the results of the President's annual physical. President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.

    The results of this year's exam were detailed in my February 28th letter: "An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor, either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year. This heat/cold sensation deficit was detected a couple of inches higher on his ankle/calf this year, which is not unexpected. There may; in fact, be day to day subjective variation of these findings, as during last year's exam, this area of sensation deficit was actually found to be smaller than the year before."
    Seeing patients at the White House is something that Dr. Cannard has been doing for a dozen years. Dr. Cannard was chosen for this responsibility not because he is a movement disorder specialist, but because he is a highly trained and highly regarded neurologist here at Walter Reed and across the Military Health System, with a very wide expertise which makes him flexible to see a variety of patients and problems.

    He's just like the past president's ( maybe not Trump) They just do what the donors desire. This one is just openly a puppet. What happens? Nothing. SSDD. Is anyone suprised??
    It's just WWE for the masses, scripted for your entertainment, the illusion of liberty.

    Seems like even the hollywood assholes are trying to get Joe to drop out of the race. Michael Douglas, George Clooney and several others have tried but he's still in it. Maybe they should let Alec Baldwin take a shot...

    I was cautioned by a guy I worked for/with decades ago to believe none of what I heard, and half of what I saw. That one took root. Seen enough.

    And, sorry for hurt feels, DJT is steadily moving right into the same age bracket where certain performances start to decline. Look at what happened with his father and consider certain malladies have been proven to be hereditary.

    I know. I hear ya. Lesser of two evils. Not biden. Not a democrat. Any change has to be better. Each must make his/her own choice...

    Not a leftist, by any means. TBT, most self-proclaimed republicans are so far left of where I stand, it hurts my neck to keep looking out to see where they want others believe they are.

    This is it. We're goin'. Lock and load. Gear check. Don't @#$% it up...

    Simply put nobody can trust the government there has been to much lying and corruption. The worse thing in my opinion is taking the trust in voting away and now I read where they want have drop boxes? If we can’t decide on who is going to run the country with elections there is only one option left.

    A gross credibility deficite certainly exists. Credibility has to be solidly established before trust can even be entertained, let alone be granted. Or, ya just go with what you "believe," hold your nose, do your civic duty, and then complain, hope, and pray about it. I refuse to accept I'm the only one to notice the pattern...
