A top Washington D.C. neurologist had a meeting with President Biden’s personal doctor at the White House earlier this year, visitor logs reviewed by The Post show.
Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed Medical Center, met with Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17, according to the records, which emerge as questions continue to swirl about the 81-year-old president’s mental health in the wake of his debate debacle last week with former President Trump.
Cannard is an authority on Parkinson’s who has worked at Walter Reed for nearly 20 years. Since 2012, he has served as the “neurology specialist supporting the White House Medical Unit,” according to his LinkedIn.
O’Connor has been Biden’s official physician since he took office in January 2021 and is in daily contact with the president. O’Connor gave Biden a clean bill of health at his annual physical in February. The physical included a neurological exam which specifically ruled out Parkinson’s disease, O’Connor said at the time.

The primary manifestations of symptoms in Parkinson's disease are physical motor skills, not dementia. Dementia is a symptom but only in more advanced cases usually well after physical symptoms are clearly evident.
Having a Parkinson's specialist evaluate Biden is like having an auto mechanic evaluate a broken leg, or a brain surgeon work on your transmission.
Dr. Kevin R. Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease specialist, has visited the White House at least nine times in the last year, official White House visitor logs show.
The logs show Dr. Cannard traveled to the White House residence medical clinic each time. He met either with the president’s personal physician or the naval nurse who coordinates care for the president and other top officials, the logs show.
Dr. Cannard’s spate of visits began on July 28, 2023 and continued at least through March 28, 2024. The most recently released logs end on April 1, so it is not clear if Dr. Cannard has been to the White House more recently.
The logs do not note the purpose of Dr. Cannard’s visits.

Isn't "Parkinsons" just the medical term for Kuru in the west?
I read something like that.
Kuru is said to be caused cannibalism.

So let's say he has Parkinson's. So what?

Sounds like in February they were checking for possible reasons for his dementia and neurological problems.

Primary drug used for Parkinsons in which most people with Parkinsons will use at some point - Lavodopa.
The most common side effects in older patients taking levodopa can be confusion, hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, and agitation.
