Digging into those WH visits

On Monday, the White House press corps demanded that press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) explain why Dr. Kevin Cannard (photo below), a prominent neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease, had visited the White House repeatedly since February 2023. Dr. Cannard practices at Walter Reed Medical Center.

She refused to even acknowledge that he had been near the place, citing “security reasons”, despite the fact that the visitor logs are not just public, but easily accessed via the internet. Depending on which news story you read, the number of times Cannard visited the White House varies. The president’s annual physicals are conducted at Walter Reed Hospital in February. According to KJP, Biden has only been examined by a neurologist at the hospital during those physicals. She refused to name the neurologist.

Peter Doocy says in the video above that the White House Visitor Logs are a matter of public record. I certainly had no trouble finding them. I went to https://www.whitehouse.gov/disclosures/visitor-logs/ and did a simple search for Dr. Cannard’s name. At first, I thought there were ten visits, but then I realized two had the same date with slightly different, but overlapping start times. I eliminated that one, leaving the nine I show above. Below, I go into more detail, also showing what is in the drop downs for each item.

????? Every visitor entry says the meetings ended at 23:59. ?????

  1. November 15, 2022: The appointment began less than two hours after it was made. Dr. Cannard met with Dr. Joshua Simmons in the White House Residence Clinic. Dr. Joshua Simmons is an emergency medical specialist at Walter Reed. N.b., Biden was at the G-20 in Indonesia that day; also, the White House Residence Clinic provides care for many more people than just President Biden. I googled “White House Residence Clinic” and found only the “White House Medical Unit” which is staffed by the military and located on the first floor of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It operates much like an urgent care facility. Given the fast response time by this noted specialist, perhaps someone important needed to be examined without the press seeing him/her leave the White House and enter Walter Reed.
  2. July 28, 2023: The appointment was made on July 11. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8 am. Megan Nasworthy is a liaison between Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House. She coordinates primary care for Biden.
  3. August 25, 2023: The appointment was made a month prior, on July 26, two days before Dr. Cannard met with Nasworthy on July 28. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8 am.
  4. September 1, 2023: The appointment was made on August 30, just five days after the previous appointment. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at either 7:30 am or 8:00 am. (This one is listed twice. I left off the second one.)
  5. October 13, 2023: The appointment was made on October 3. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:30 am.
  6. November 17, 2023: The appointment was made on November 8. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:00 am.
  7. January 17, 2024: The appointment was made on January 12. Dr. Cannard met with four people. The visitee of record was Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s personal physician. One news report says one of the other people was a cardiologist.
  8. January 26, 2024: The appointment was made the day before. Dr. Cannard met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 9:00 am. On Tuesday, KJP told reporters that this meeting had nothing to do with Biden. Now, she says that, in fact, this was when Biden underwent an extremely detailed neurological exam that (allegedly) did not show any signs of cerebellar or other central neurological disorder. I added the “(allegedly)” since she had just lied about this the day before.
  9. March 28, 2024: The date and time the appointment was made is blank. Dr. Cannard (photo below) met with Megan Nasworthy in the White House Residence Clinic beginning at 8:00 am.
