Pence's doctor resigns after reports of concerns about Jackson's conduct

The White House physician assigned to Vice President Mike Pence, Jennifer Pena, has resigned, his office told CNN in a statement Friday. Pena worked in the White House Medical Unit.

"The vice president's office was informed today by the White House Medical Unit of the resignation. Physicians assigned to the vice president report to the White House Medical Unit and thus any resignation would go entirely through the Medical Unit, not the vice president's office," Alyssa Farah, Pence's press secretary, said in a statement to CNN.

1. Pence's doc --Pena raised concerns last Fall--but no one did anything about Jackson (as far as

we know right now). Yet, she is the one who just resigned? got fired??


.....This comes after CNN reported Tuesday that Pence's doctor privately raised alarms within the White House last fall that President Donald Trump's doctor, Ronny Jackson, may have violated federal privacy protections for a key patient — Pence's wife, Karen — and intimidated the vice president's doctor during angry confrontations over the episode.

A White House official later told CNN they felt Pence's doctor had misrepresented the extent of Jackson's actions.

......................................
According to copies of internal documents obtained by CNN, Pence's doctor accused Jackson of overstepping his authority and inappropriately intervening in a medical situation involving the second lady as well as potentially violating federal privacy rights by briefing White House staff and disclosing details to other medical providers —but not appropriately consulting with the vice president's physician.

The vice president's physician later wrote in a memo of feeling intimidated by an irate Jackson during a confrontation over the physician's concerns. The physician informed White House officials of being treated unprofessionally, describing a pattern of behavior from Jackson that made the physician "uncomfortable" and even consider resigning from the position.

Current and former coworkers accused Jackson of abusive behavior and professional misconduct in interviews with Democratic staff on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, which sources briefed on the matter say has investigated those episodes as well as the one involving Karen Pence. ......................

4. Someone is being vindictive. Trump is vindictive and angry over Jackson having to step down. My

guess is that she was run out of this position.

7. Violated privacy protections for Karen? Hmmm

3. Mother allowed Pence to have a female doctor?

Why, she might even have glimpsed the VP's Golden Staff!

5. I was just about to comment about him having a woman for a doctor

is "Mother" present for the prostate exam? Awkward much?

How about the testicular exam?
