Dr. Brian Monahan, the private doctor to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, resigned amid a military investigation of his office for a toxic work environment as well as staff complaints, including being ordered to cut lawmakers’ toenails as part of their medical duties.
The Office of the Attending Physician of the Capitol, a nondescript set of rooms hidden in the basement of the historic building, dispenses discreet medical care to members of Congress, their staff, and Supreme Court justices.
The office has always been led by a Navy physician. Monahan, who had held the post since 2009, is a two-star admiral.
But the doctor — who was personal physician to Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and who oversaw his care while he remained out of public view recovering from a stroke — faced allegations of misconduct related to what he ordered the sailors stationed under him to do as part of their duties.
One sailor stationed in the office told Navy Times that some of their duties included tasks “no one else wants to do,” such as: “cutting a congressman’s toenails or bringing their medication to their private residence at 3 a.m.”
They were also required to work 70- to 80-hour weeks and threatened with the loss of bonuses if they complained too much.
“We usually worked 12-hour shifts, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with duty every other day,” a former Navy hospital corpsman assigned to the office told the outlet.
“On duty days, if Congress stayed in session late, the duty crew stayed, too, sometimes until about 4 a.m. We still had to be back for a regular 6 a.m. shift.”
Additionally, there were questions about whether Monahan’s office dispensed medications to lawmakers and their staff without prescriptions, causing a “health and safety” risk.

He looks gay and the face shield and mask in one pic says it all.
He looks totally WEIRD.
Clipping toenails is normal care for some elderly people who haven’t seen, much less touched their feet in decades. But, it does sound like a disgusting task.
EC
He probably was a woke Doctor that on purpose kept Sen Mitch McConnell from getting well enough to show up to work to vote on the Trump Bill of Saving America Act if that was the name for his voting bill, I don't know how close they were from getting the bill passed so I might be wrong about my suspensions but I wouldn't doubt it came one vote short of being passed.
From the article:
“They were also... threatened with the loss of bonuses if they complained too much.”
Just a minor point, but bonuses in the military are contractual. They can’t be taken away because your supervisor doesn’t like you.
He knows ALL of the secrets. Got AIDS, the clap, or some other medically toxic type of ailments nobody wants disclosed ....go see the doc.
Trump should order they all see private physicians....like us....all they do is jump the line in front of all of us.
THIS is an example of why people don’t trust politicians. They are grifting off their personal self dealing.
I have no doubt that he’s a democRAT.

The WSJ headline mentions “lax drug handling”...
Anyone remember this story from a few years back...
Bet it wasn’t just dementia meds...
One thing about electing old people….is that old people often have nasty feet.
And when you have free healthcare, those toes get trimmed.
Our system in DC is simply grotesque.
All I can think of is how queen bees and drones in the hive have little “slave bees” that feed them, move away waste, and cater to their every need. The queen will live for a while. The little worker bees live about three months.
DC is just one big bee hive.
Looks like an elderly Pee Wee Herman.
Government people live like royalty, and they see us as filthy peasants who should trim their toenails at 4:00 am.
