Biden’s doctor dismisses neurologist’s examination claim

President Joe Biden of the United States has not seen a neurologist outside of his yearly physical, according to Kevin O'Connor, the president's personal physician, who made this announcement on Tuesday.

This was brought about by American media stories on a Parkinson's disease expert who made several trips to the White House.

In a letter that was released on Monday, O'Connor stated that President Biden was seen by neurological expert Dr. Cannard for each of his yearly physicals.

"Aside from his yearly physical, Biden has not seen a neurologist," he stated.
O'Connor claimed that despite Cannard's twelve years of patient visits in the White House, he was not selected due to his expertise in movement disorders.

The declaration from Biden's personal physician was made following a contentious exchange between journalists and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
According to official visitor logs cited by The New York Times, Cannard has made eight trips to the White House since last summer.
When asked why Cannard had been visiting the White House on a frequent basis for the past few months, Jean-Pierre remained silent.
O'Connor claims that each time, most recently at the end of February, the outcomes of Cannard's neurological assessment were released to the public.

The president exhibited "no tremor, either at rest or with activity," according to the letter citing the released health assessment, which also indicated that there were no signs of Parkinson's disease or potential strokes.

Questions over the 81-year-old Biden's mental health have grown since his TV debate with Republican opponent Donald Trump.

Because of his age, there is currently a controversy in the United States about whether Joe Biden is the best Democratic presidential candidate for the November election.

Biden has denied any uncertainty and declined to participate in a cognitive health exam that would evaluate his mental capacity.

The unusual move taken recently by the White House shows the mounting strain.

The letter's publishing most likely intends to refute any speculation that Parkinson's disease may be present.
At the press conference, Jean-Pierre stated that he was not receiving treatment for the illness.
