Democrats release detailed list of allegations against Ronny Jackson

This guy sounds like someone trump would pick for a personal physician -

Multiple individuals cited the nickname “Candyman” used by WH staff because he would provide
whatever prescriptions they sought without paperwork.

Physicians, physician assistants, and nurses have described a pattern of handing out Ambien (to
sleep) and Provigil (to wake up) without triaging patient history (no intakes, no questionnaires) on
Air Force One. These are controlled substances that require tracking.

Jackson would have been the prescriber though he also directed nurses to dispense them.

The White House Medical Unit (WHMU) had questionable record keeping for pharmaceuticals so it
is tough to account for all controlled substances with perfect accuracy. Only after-the-fact would
Jackson account for pills or provide paper records to account for shortages. For example, missing
Percocet (used for pain) tabs once threw WHMU into a panic. It turned out Jackson had provided a
large supply to a White House Military Office (WHMO) staffer. Jackson also had private stocks of
controlled substances.

A nurse noted that Jackson wrote himself scripts. When caught, he had someone else (his PA) do it.
Jackson prescribed medications when other physicians would not.

Physicians felt uncomfortable and refused to be a part of the loose dispensing of drugs to current and
former WH staff (and at times, their family members).

Jackson would have staff write scripts for each other to give to non-beneficiaries.

To protect one beneficiary, a prescription for a sleep aid was written for another provider rather than
the beneficiary.

Lack of documentation was difficult for one practitioner because that practitioner would not know
the full array of medications taken by a patient when they came to that practitioner for assistance.

A physician stated that Jackson has been lucky because his prescribing practices are reckless.

A provider noted WHMU purchases pharmaceuticals from an on-line retailer, separate from Walter
Reed, which enables WHMU to prescribe controlled substances without accounting through Walter
Reed, which should be the sole supplier.

Individuals cite inquiries by the Navy Surgeon General and WHMO into these issues, as well as a
DOD IG submission related to ineligible personnel receiving care at Walter Reed in the President’s
Wing. Outlined in that document are concerns about WHMO’s ability to be objective on matters
related to Admiral Jackson. Mentioned in that complaint was a previous investigation by WHMO
about dispensing of controlled substances.
