Dr. Ronny Jackson Will Not Return to His Role as White House Physician
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Ronny Jackson will not return to his role as White House physician,
after he withdrew from consideration as veterans affairs secretary amid
a scandal over misconduct claims, including drinking on the job,
routinely handing out prescription drugs to West Wing staff, creating a
"hostile work environment" for his colleagues, and once drunkenly
banging on the hotel room door of a female employee during an overseas
work trip in 2015, until the Secret Service intervened. Navy officer
Sean Conley has taken over the role as White House physician.
