Click here for an article by Charlie Pierce, at Esquire, entitled "Apparently the Trump White House Medical Unit Was Handing Pills Out Like Skittles," subtitled "A Defense Department report makes the previous administration's clinic looks like a West Virginia drugstore"
From The Washington Post:
“We found that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy,” says a new report from the Defense Department’s inspector general. “Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff.” Many of those served by the unit should not have been.Pierce goes on to talk about disgraced medical officer Ronny Jackson -- now Congressman Ronny Jackson, D-TX) -- with the nickname Candyman.
Clandestine medical services available to Trump White House staff even included elective surgery:
Wait. What?
Aliases were used “to provide free specialty care and surgery to ineligible White House staff members at military medical treatment facilities,” according to the report. Former staffers told the inspectors that an ineligible White House employee received free elective surgery and that “the unit altered practices to cater to high‑ranking officials.” One staffer said “we bent the rules to meet this very weird, strange culture that was there, and I think it was really to just impress people.”The "very weird, strange culture" of the previous administration* already has been demonstrated in 100 different ways, some of them criminal. But I never figured that their White House was full of people getting covert tummy tucks and running the country while hopped up on goofballs. Crazy, man. Far out.
