Parkinson's specialist met with Biden's doctor

A senior neurologist specializing in Parkinson's disease met with US President Joe Biden's personal physician at the White House earlier this year, according to visitors' diaries revealed by the New York Post. The meeting raises new questions about the health of the 81-year-old president, especially in light of his recent public appearances.
