Washington (CNN)Vice President Mike Pence's physician privately raised alarms within the White House last fall that President Donald Trump's doctor 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.
...............................

The detailed memos provide a vivid account of both the incident and Jackson's alleged actions afterwards.

In one of two tense encounters described in the memos, Jackson made the vice president's doctor feel uncomfortable with his "accusatory" tone, "unprofessionalism" and "intimidating" and "aggressive" behavior during their private meetings. Jackson told the doctor to "let the issue go" and to "let things go ... if I am to succeed in my career," the physician wrote.

"This meeting summoned by Dr. Jackson appears to have been in retribution for me verbalizing concerns over the protection of the SLOTUS' medical information and his inappropriate involvement in the decision-making process of her care, which is consistent with previous behavior that I have received from him in the past," the memo says, referring to the second lady of the United States. "This unprofessionalism fosters a negative command climate that removes any opportunity for open, professional discussion."..............

1. These two physicians 'physician have long had a "strained relationship,"...

Seems like personality problems may be part of the problem. ????



"Jackson and the vice president's physician have long had a "strained relationship," according to a former White House medical official".

6. Confidentiality is primary in any case.

At those levels any breech is enough to lose your position over, squabble or not.

25. 12-15 mos is "have long had" ?

2. Dr. Jackson sounds like an arrogant pompous ass.

I wouldn't get along with him either.

[groundloop]

14. 'Arrogant pompous ass' - obviously he fits right into Spanky's gang

[politicaljunkie41910]

31. So it was Mike Pence's doc and his wife who started all this, and reported Dr. Jackson

not the Democratic Senator Jon Tester. So when does Trump apologize to the Senator from Montana for standing by the Pence family?

[Mr.Bill]

3. This kind of things happen between doctors

more than you may think. I volunteer at a hospital and am married to a retired RN, and I've seen/heard things that are not seen by most of the public.

Doctors by nature can be very egotistical, and can rub each other the wrong way. They sometimes will not accept the views of another doctor that are in an authority positon over them. It can actually get pretty nasty behind the scenes. Doctors do get fired from hospitals, and it happens more than you might think.

17. Be that as it may

We are getting a more complete picture that suggests Jackson was a reckless alcoholic and the WH knew it, yet nominated him anyway.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Agree 100%. n/t

[chillfactor]

26. agreed n/t

[fierywoman]

4. So does this mean Pence has to resign, like Tester ? {{{sarcasm}}}

[gibraltar72]

5. Did Pence

bring Mother home a present she wasn't expecting. I have no evidence of that but I just like to think he would do something like that. Maybe something from one of those awful sweaty athletic Olympians he was so obsessed with.

8. !

[onecent]

10. I think Pence was up to something on this little deal.

Haven't heard his name mentioned in a year...and here it goes.

Maggot Monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SunSeeker]

20. Any guesses?

I mean, how embarrasing a condition could Mother possibly have...unless Pence gave her an STD?

[onecent]

28. No, I wish I had a "few guesses"...

[magicarpet]

12. Pence and the pool boy.

18. ...

[More_Cowbell]

7. Maybe this is what they held over Jackson's head to make him lie about Trump's height/weight

You know it has to be SOMETHING.

[Girard442]

9. "...a situation where ultimate discretion was of utmost importance..."

Imagine how the press would go full-on orgasmic with that line in a Clinton administration.

[SunSeeker]

19. I know, right? Sigh. nt

[elehhhhna]

11. Slotus?

😂

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Putting on airs of importance: Second Lady of the US. Acronyms taken to extremes. . . . nt

[lagomorph777]

29. I know, it sounds so ... dirty....

[TomCADem]

15. Will Trump Call On Pence to Resign?

I bet that Trump secretly would like Pence to resign and replace him with Ivanka.

[Girard442]

24. Maybe Nancy Pelosi could change her name to Nivanka.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Sounds like Jackson may be a control freak....

wanting to stick his nose into the care of all big-shot patients. Sort of matches up with tRump's ego.

.......... .........

[Mr. Sparkle]

21. He is definitely one of those suck up, kick down kind of guys and they are the absolute worst.

No wonder Trump likes him so much!

[Sampan]

22. This is an impaired physician. And it might be more than alcohol.

[duforsure]

27. Just more evidence

How full of shxt DT is, attacking Tester with, and claiming he failed , and all those service people who came forward dt claims were liars. So trump wants to know who they were so he can get his revenge against them , and send a message for others to keep their mouths shut. typical liar dt knew the dr was incompetent, but easily manipulated for his own use. Dt's claims he was good is as phony as everything else he claims, and as the FACTS come out it'll show dt is a fraud and liar, again.

30. Mother

Keepers creepers!!! You mean to tell me this doctor violated Mother?
