A board-certified neurologist says President Joe Biden is clearly exhibiting signs of Parkinsonās disease despite not examining him.
Dr. Tom Pitts appeared on NBC News and was interviewed by Tom Llamas, who asked if he saw any āred flagsā that would indicate the president has Parkinsonās.
āI see him 20 times a day in clinic,ā Pitts said.
He continued, āItās ironic because he has the classic features of neurodegeneration, word-finding difficulties, and thatās not, oh, I couldnāt find the word. Thatās from degeneration of the word retrieval area.ā
Llamas noted Biden has struggled with a stutter and asked if that could be part of the āword finding difficulties.ā However, Pitts rejected that, as he said, patients struggling with word-finding issues would āpick a similar question or talk around the issue.ā
Pitts also focused on the presidentās ārigidityā and āmonotone voiceā symptoms of Parkinsonās.
When asked to elaborate on the rigidity point, the doctor said, āLoss of arm swing, standing up robotically, you notice when he turns itās kind of en bloc turning, itās not a quick turn. Thatās one of the hallmarks of Parkinsonās.ā

Pitts also imitated Biden when he speaks softly and said that is another symptom.
He added, āI couldāve diagnosed him from across the mall.ā
Speculation about Bidenās health has exploded after it was reported a Parkinsonās expert visited the White House several times over the past year.
However, White House physician Kevin OāConnor said the expert was not treating the president for Parkinsonās.
