Federal Watchdog Files Complaint Against Joe Biden’s Physician Over Possible Cancer Cover-Up

Medical Experts Express Doubt About Timeline of Former President Biden’s Prostate Cancer

Government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) today filed a complaint with the D.C. Board of Medicine against former White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor after numerous doctors and medical experts called into question the timeline of former President Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.

Physicians and other healthcare professionals must comply with strict standards of behavior regarding their patients. The D.C. Board of Medicine prohibits practitioners in the District from, among other things:

• Willfully making or filing a false report or record in the practice of a health occupation;
• Willfully making a misrepresentation in treatment;
• Failing to conform to standards of acceptable conduct and prevailing practice within a health profession;
• Demonstrating a willful or careless disregard for the health, welfare, or safety of a patient, regardless of whether the patient sustains actual injury as a result;
• Engaging in conduct in their practice that is unprofessional or creates a deleterious impact on the public’s impression of the profession.

The responsibilities of White House physicians “go far beyond the usual scope of medical practice,” according to former White House Physician and Professor of Medicine Lawrence C. Mohr. 

They have a responsibility to the president as an individual patient and a responsibility to the nation through the care they provide. The nature of these dual responsibilities confront White House physicians with a variety of unique issues, including presidential disability, implementation of the 25th Amendment, and a president’s right to privacy versus the public’s right to know about a president’s state of health.

That scenario appears to have played out with former President Joe Biden and his physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor. In May, months after former President Biden’s January 20 departure from office this year, it was announced that the former president was suffering from an advanced prostate cancer. Several cancer experts spoke up in the national media about the discrepancies between the diagnosis and the timeline it takes for the cancer plaguing former President Biden to get to the stage it is currently in. For example, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist who worked as an advisor to the Biden White House during Covid, stated that it is likely that President Biden was ill with cancer long before leaving office. “He did not develop in the last 100, 200 days. He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021.”

Yet President Biden’s last Health Summary, authored by O’Connor, mentioned nothing about cancer or his prostate. Other portions of the Summary reveal that blood work was completed because lipid panels, hemoglobin, blood glucose, and other blood related tests were mentioned. He closed the memorandum by stating, “President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.” From these facts it appears as though Dr. O’Connor either failed to meet the minimum standard of care owed President Biden and the American public by not detecting a cancer that likely developed under his watch or was present when the watch began, or he submitted a false report as a part of his official duties. Amid these discrepancies, PPT submitted a complaint with the Washington, D.C. Board of Medicine regarding Dr. O’Connor’s final Health Summary which did not mention anything about cancer or the former president’s prostate.

“The cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental and physical health is one of the worst scandals in presidential history — maybe the worst,” said PPT Director Michael Chamberlain. “Staffers, family members, doctors, and certainly the compliant legacy media failed the American people and undermined their trust in the institution of the presidency. The added revelation of advanced cancer shortly after Mr. Biden left office — a cancer expert medical opinion says was unlikely to have developed since his last examination — adds to suspicion that there was a cynical and abjectly political effort to keep the American public in the dark. We believe it is imperative for the health of the nation to get to the bottom of it.”
