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.
The fact that we keep seeing these kinds of news (including the report that “he’s at his best from 10AM to 4PM”) means it’s highly likely that there’s people with high positions in the Democratic hierarchy who think they should switch their candidate (in opposition to whoever is calling the shots), and they’re trying to rock the boat earlier rather than latter by leaking these headlines so that the second option actually has a chance to build their candidacy.
If you think they shouldn’t, I ask you: do you prefer this to be published now, in a controlled demolition by people who want someone other than Biden, or weeks before the election, by people trying to make Trump win?
10 AM to 4 PM?
That means he’s likely sundowning, so progressing dementia
=/
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.
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.
Wow, I hadn’t heard of that before.

Alzheimer’s maybe. Bleccch.
Yeah for Parkinsons. Bullshit agenda pushing headlines trying to get clicks.
Can we talk about the issues can we talk about character? No let’s all instead talk about him testing negative for Parkinsons.
Mentions evaluation in February saying no Parkinson’s.
Maybe they are trying to give him Parkinsons. Biden would look more alive if he started shaking a bit during the exit code 1 face.
Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years.
Wtf!?
Osteopaths are fully trained and accredited MDs, so I’m wondering why you’re shocked.
Technically not MDs, but yeah full-fledged doctors.
According to the AMA they are fully licensed, the same as MDs.
Osteopathic physicians, also known as doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), are fully licensed physicians, just like doctors of medicine (MDs).
Yes, the same as MDs, not as MDs.
Oops. I was thinking of osteopathy.

His responsibilities have evolved over the years, but Dr. O’Connor says the most important part of each day is saying, “Good morning, Mr. President.”
Because Dr. O’Connor and his team are some of the first people President Biden will see each day, Dr. O’Connor stresses the importance of greeting the President affirmatively and making themselves available. This simple engagement can help to set the mood for the rest of the day.
Osteopathic medicine isn’t quite quackery, they’re actual doctors, but it’s very questionable.
A DO, not a chiropractor as you might be thinking. Vast majority of DOs practice exactly the same as MDs, many going through the same post-graduate training.
Yeah, I was thinking of the chiropractor ones.
I’m sure this article was meant to be negative, I would be more concerned if that was not happening. If people are worrying about Biden’s cognitive abilities, that’s who needs to be involved.
Unfortunately the most concerned with this will be Americans, who by and large do not seek medical attention unless something is already seriously wrong.
I come from a time when seeing a therapist meant you were crazy and might either chew someone’s leg off or kill yourself any moment. You’re spot on.
Biden fell off his bike two years ago. When do suppose was the last time the other guy rode a bike?
Biden fell off his bike two years ago.
Are you implying he might have hit his head? Ouch if true. I hope he was wearing a helmet.
Omg he fell off a bike!? I should stay home and not vote and like Bernie Memes on X.
Wrong takeaway
Optics matter.
Wouldn’t want to use up that battery now, would we?
Apparently Jack Lalanne could have lived to be like a million years old.
Bruh. I think we all get that biden is in better condition than trump. You ain’t need to convince us, and you ain’t convincing the republican and undecided degenerates.
