Pence's doctor resigns
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)The White House physician assigned to Vice President Mike Pence, Jennifer Pena, has resigned, his office told CNN in a statement Friday. Pena worked in the White House medical unit.
"The vice president's office was informed today by the White House Medical Unit of the resignation. Physicians assigned to the vice president report to the White House Medical Unit and thus any resignation would go entirely through the Medical Unit, not the vice president's office," Alyssa Farah, Pence's press secretary, said in a statement to CNN.
This comes after CNN reported Tuesday that a Pence doctor privately raised alarms within the White House last fall that President Donald Trump's doctor Ronny Jackson may have violated federal privacy protections for a key patient -- Pence's wife, Karen -- and intimidated the vice president's doctor during angry confrontations over the episode.

And yes it's surprising that Pence would have a female Latina doctor. Maybe his wife has to be present during their appointments and they have to remind Trump that Americans aren't always white.
Sensible ethical people are not welcome in the Trump/Pence administration.

(70,242 posts)Jennifer Pena raised concerns over Jackson last fall and no one did anything about it. Now she left abruptly. IMHO, she was pushed out.

Only fair - since Pence required Gen Flynn to resign for not disclosing all info to him, VP Physician who Secret Service proved a liar should certainly resign or be fired...no way could she ever perform as physician to leader of the free world after these manipulative stunts

Need to file charges against her for committing various crimes in doing this. Not the least of this was obstruction - holding up badly needed gov't appointees with lies.

(3,335 posts)going on. I served in the Army and have always had a tremendous pride about my service. Based on what I just read in that report, I wouldn't go near an Army base if my life depended on it. The number of bad actors in leadership positions who have such character deficiencies is truly frightening. If that information is correct as written, the Army has big problems and some explaining to do. Ronny Jackson comes away looking like a hero compared to the rest of those people.

(16,808 posts)pences doctor thought a letter saying pence died, was dead for 3 days and then came back on Easter might seem farfetched.
Pence is reportedly working on a letter where his wife will bear a new child @ dec 25th.
The virgin birth story is being worked on.
this story is assumed to be true.
