Fox & Friends Wonders If Biden’s Doctor Committed ‘Malpractice’ For Not Asking For More Tests After Debate

 

President Joe Biden’s health continued to be a major story on Fox News on Tuesday, and the co-hosts of Fox & Friends turned their scrutiny to Biden’s doctors.

In a conversation with Fox News medical contributor Dr. Janette Nasheiwat, Fox & Friends displayed an excerpt from the letter provided by by Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor. The letter was addressed to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to explain why an expert in Parkinson’s disease, neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard, visited the White House several times. Co-host Steve Doocy read part of the statement:

Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist who examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals. His findings have been made public each time I have released the results of the president’s annual physical. President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.

That led Doocy to ask Dr. Nasheiwat: “He’s been president three and a half years. He’s had three physicals. He saw a neurologist as part of the physical. But, Dr. Nesheiwat, don’t you think, isn’t it malpractice for his personal doctor to see that performance and not say, ‘Hey, you know, maybe we should do some other tests?'”

Dr. Nesheiwat’s response included her own theory:

You know, I think they are doing them, but they’re withholding that information. So what I would do if I had a patient that is presenting like the president is number one, I would repeat an examination. Six months ago was his last exam. That’s a long time for an 81-year-old. A lot could happen in a six-month period. …

There are tests that can be done, and he is the President of the United States, and he has full access to all of these tests. I think they are being conducted. But that information is being withheld, and I think it’s a duty to share that information with America because we have an election coming up, and we want to choose someone that is strong, that is a good leader, that is coherent, and that can make the right decisions for us and our country.
