Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson Chief Physician to the President, The White House Medical Unit, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20500
Dear Rear Admiral Jackson,
Thank you for your long service to the nation. As healthcare and mental health professionals, we respect the significant responsibility you have to monitor and ensure the health and well-being of the President of the United States of America – not just on his behalf, but on behalf of all Americans.

This is especially true at a time of increasing concern over the President’s:
• Declining faculties for complex thought, rambling speech, difficulty completing a thought
• Episodes of slurred speech
• Failure to recognize old friends
• Frequent repetition of the same concepts
• Decreased fine motor coordination
• Difficulties reading, listening and comprehending
• Suspect judgment, planning, problem solving and impulse control
• Markedly declining vocabulary in recent years, with over reliance on superlatives

Sincerely,
Steven Buser, MD, Psychiatrist, NC
