the doctor's first name is misspelled. He goes by "Ronny" but it's spelled "Ronnie" in the memo. I hardly think he would spell his own name wrong.

Found him in the AMA directory. He's an emergency physician in Bethesda. Why an ER doctor would be writing Donny's note is an interesting question....

I didn't recognize his name from the Obama years.

All the more reason to be concerned that the "report" is so unsatisfactory.

On any document let alone an official one ANY person would misspell their own name. Unless your under age 8 or something.
Mischief afoot!

"Dr. Ronnie" is a dude in an alleyway dispensing "medicine" stored behind a loose brick.
