The president of the United States, Joe Biden, fired the controversial White House doctor Sean Conley, criticized for giving misleading reports about the health of former President Donald Trump, and appointed in his place his personal physician Kevin O’Connor, local media reported Monday.
Biden is, at 78, the oldest man to be inaugurated president of the United States, and O’Connor, who has served him since 2009 when he took office as vice president, is a retired Army colonel serving in the 82nd Division. Airborne, the 75th Rangers Regiment and Special Operations Command of that weapon.
In 2019, when the campaign for the primary elections began, O’Connor was in charge of the physical examination of Biden and in his report indicated that the then candidate to the presidential candidacy by the Democratic Party was in “good health and vigor”.
The White House physician is responsible for the health care of the president, his family, and the staff of the presidential residence. It has the support of a team of doctors and nurses in the Medical Unit located on the ground floor of the building.
The presidential physician position is typically a designation that doesn’t attract much public attention but was the subject of controversy last year when Trump was reported to have contracted COVID-19 and Conley, he admitted, offered encouraging reports because the White House I wanted to make an optimistic impression.
In May of last year, when the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading rapidly in the United States, Trump claimed at a press conference that he had taken hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic measure, under the guidance of Conley, who later confirmed that treatment.
In October, the White House reported that Trump and his wife, Melania, had tested positive for the coronavirus and the president was admitted to Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
During Trump’s stay at Walter Reed, Conley, who holds the rank of commander in the Navy, gave the press conflicting reports on both the president’s condition and his treatment.
Three days after his internment, the president was discharged.
