He’s probably talking about Pelosi, DiFi and McCain.

I’m annoyed that diabetes was lumped in with Alzheimers.

I am not aware of any member that actually has Alzheimers and would certainly not disclose any such information if I did know... patient privacy is a very serious matter that I am committed to upholding
Let me translate this.
I can't tell you anything about X.
Therefore I am duty bound to lie about X.
Trust me, X does not exist.

Nancy Pelosi’s recent behavior really opens the possibility that she has a major problem like Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimers can only positively be diagnosed in an autopsy. Most doctors use the terms “memory problems” or “dementia”.
As there is no effective cure or treatment, no reason to push for a definitive diagnosis.

One of the reasons I avoid sugary junk food. My mom had it.

I am so screwed.
But at least I won’t know I am.

Pelosi is certainly showing signs that could be interpreted as Alzheimer’s and a famous presidential candidate pretty certainly has Parkinson’s which is mentally debilitating.

“As Vox pointed out, the original revelation doesnt appear to violate patient privacy laws because he didnt identify any specific patients.”
Actually he might have. Some people have been busted for giving out information that allows people to zero in to tightly based on demographic data. Congress would be an example.
This guy better hide his money and vamos!

Roger that. Congress can find another pharmacy to deliver their scripts in about 5 minutes.

Sounds like the Left: Attack the messenger and dismiss the facts.

This pharmacist was an idiot to talk to reporters. Now his congressional business will disappear when the Office of the Attending Physician picks a new pharmacy, or, more than likely brings it in house. I do see he went to Howard...
