I wonder if the VP has visited her office. Just because she is the physician to Mr. Pence does not mean she’s the doctor he visits.
Her medical education is far from stellar. I do not see in Dr. Jackson’s record an excess of promotions, as implied by this Obama, possibly affirmative-action, appointee.
Dr.Jackson was a long time member of the WHMU (White House Medical Unit), and thus had significant seniority and experience to be named Obama’s personal physician in the second term. His personal physician during his initial term departed the WH, thus creating a vacancy, which Ronnie Jackson has filled very capably.
The second promotion was his appointment to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) A flag rank has become a routine appointment for the President’s personal physician at the conclusion of his term.
Clinton promoted Dr.Connie Mariano from Captain to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) and GW Bush promoted Col. Richard Tubb to Brigadier General under similar circumstances,
There is a rumor that although Dr. Jackson wished to step down after Obama left the WH, Donald Trump insisted that he remain as personal physician to the president.
I know this since I am the author of “The White House Physician” published in 2007.
My personal belief (uncorroborated) is that Ronny Jackson was targeted because he so ably spoke to Donald Trump’s good health in January. The combination of an angry woman appointed by the affirmative-action president and the disgraceful action of an unprofessional Democrat Senator has ruined a very good man’s reputation.

So what does Pence have to say?
“The memos were provided to CNN on the condition that the vice president’s physician not be named and that the memos not be published.”

If Pence trades her in we will have a better idea....
