Clarification on Medical Visits to the White House

The multiple visits by medical experts, including the recent focus of a Parkinson’s expert physician, to the White House are normal and not necessarily indicative that such visits necessarily were directed at the President. Medical experts often visit the White House as part of policy assessments. There is no evidence that the President has Parkinson’s. However, the reports of Biden’s seeing his doctor(s) recently (because of his debate cold?) are unclear. Biden should accept a full and neutral neurological exam by a panel of medical experts with a report released to the public ASAP. Ideally, that would apply equally to both candidates. Where age and mental acuity are seriously at issue in a presidential race, such an exam – which needs to be neutral and credible – would seem obviously necessary.
