A Parkinson’s doctor has sounded the alarm on President Joe Biden.
Board-certified neurologist, Dr. Tom Pitts, spoke to NBC News, where he said that the president is displaying classic signs of the disease even as he has never been in the same room with him.
“I see him 20 times a day in clinic,” he said. “It’s ironic because he has the classic features of neurodegeneration, word-finding difficulties, and that’s not, oh, I couldn’t find the word, that’s from degeneration of the word retrieval area.”
The doctor said it was more than the president’s slurring of words, but his body movement and “rigidity” that he believes are signs of Parkinson’s.
“I could have diagnosed him from across the mall,” he said.
“The problem is when you look at his situation, you can’t say, oh, I know for a fact that because he didn’t retrieve the word, he didn’t know what he wanted to say and that’s why both him and Trump should take the four-hour neuropsychological testing which is the hallmark test for cognitive performance,” he said.
The White House has a ton of explaining to do after visitor logs have revealed that a Parkinson’s expert and top neurologist visited the president’s residence.
The records show that Dr. Kevin Cannard, whose LinkedIn describes him as being a “Movement Disorders specialist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center,” had a meeting with White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor at 5 p.m. ET on January 17, The New York Post reported.
Also in attendance at the meeting was Walter Reed cardiologist Dr. John E. Atwood, the visitor logs show.
There was also a fourth person who had not been identified at the meeting.
On that same day the president spoke to Senate leaders at the White House to pressure them for more funding for Ukraine.
“Cannard is an authority on Parkinson’s who has worked at Walter Reed for nearly 20 years,” the report said.
“Since Biden’s health is O’Connor’s primary responsibility, it is highly probable the meeting was about the commander in chief, according to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), the doctor for both Presidents Obama and Trump,” it said.
“It’s highly likely they were talking about Biden,” the representative said to The Post.
“He should only be [regularly] treating the president and the first family,” he added.
