华盛顿讯 — 参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周四表示,美国国会大厦主治医生布赖恩·莫纳汉博士已辞去议员首席医生一职,目前正面临不当行为指控。
“我了解到他已经辞职了,”图恩表示。
一名知情人士告诉CBS新闻,莫纳汉是一名海军三星将官,他辞职的原因是被指控在提供医疗服务方面自行其事,并要求下属海军人员做相关工作,存在不当行为。
此次辞职与国防部监察长的一份报告相关,该报告指出国会大厦主治医生办公室的监督工作松散。
这份监督机构报告的公开版本细节有限,且多处内容被删节,报告指出调查人员发现“临床质量管理存在缺口”。报告发现,一些处方药,包括助眠药和止痛药,未得到妥善盘点或追踪。
监察长表示,这些不足可能会“导致国会主治医生办公室的受益者在不知情的情况下面临健康和安全风险,因为临床诊疗和处方行为未受到监管”。
CBS新闻获悉,海军也正在对国会主治医生办公室展开调查。
莫纳汉自2009年起担任主治医生。他还是马里兰州贝塞斯达的uniformed服务大学教授,曾任该校医学系主任。他获得了美国内科医学委员会的内科、血液学和医学肿瘤学认证。
他的离职消息首次由Punchbowl新闻报道。国会主治医生办公室未回应多次置评请求。
自1928年以来,海军一直通过国会主治医生办公室承担国会议员、工作人员、最高法院大法官及国会大厦访客的医疗护理工作。该办公室除了提供小型急救服务和其他综合医疗支持外,还参与涉及国会大厦的灾害规划与应对工作。
CBS新闻周四询问众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯,是否知晓莫纳汉离职的相关情况。杰弗里斯表示并不了解,但希望确保议员的健康得到保障。
《海军时报》报道称,该办公室的军事人员曾被迫每周工作70至80小时,并执行“没人愿意做的任务……比如修剪议员的脚趾甲,或是凌晨3点把药物送到议员的私人住所”。
监察长的报告提出了五项改善国会主治医生办公室的建议,包括指定外部机构监督质量管控,以及为该办公室员工制定政策和流程。

Washington — Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of the U.S. Capitol, has resigned from his post as lawmakers’ top doctor, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday, amid allegations of misconduct.
“My understanding is he’s resigned,” Thune said.
One source familiar with the matter told CBS News that Monahan, a two-star Navy admiral, resigned after allegations of misconduct related to what he chose to do and asked the sailors under him to do in terms of providing care.
The resignation comes in conjunction with a report by the Defense Department’s inspector general that found lax oversight of the Office of the Attending Physician.
The public version of watchdog report, while light on specifics and including numerous redactions, said investigators found a “gap in clinical quality management.” The report found that some prescription drugs, including sleep aids and pain medication, were not properly inventoried or tracked.
These shortfalls, the inspector general said, could “result in OAP beneficiaries unknowingly assuming health and safety risks because clinical and prescribing practices were not monitored.”
CBS News has learned the Navy is also conducting an inquiry into the Office of the Attending Physician.
Monahan has served as the attending physician since 2009. He is also a professor at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland, and previously served as its chairman of medicine. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in internal medicine, hematology and medical oncology.
His removal was first reported by Punchbowl News. The Office of the Attending Physician did not reply to multiple requests for comment.
Since 1928, the Navy — through the Office of the Attending Physician — has been tasked with medical care of Congress, staff, the Supreme Court and visitors to the Capitol complex. In addition to administering minor first aid services and providing other general medical support, the office participates in planning for and responding to disasters that may involve the Capitol.
CBS News asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday if he had any knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Monahan’s dismissal. Jeffries said he did not but wants to ensure member health is protected.
The Navy Times reported military personnel in the office were pressured to endure 70-80 hour work weeks and do tasks “no one else wants to do … like cutting a congressman’s toenails or bringing their medication to their private residence at 3 a.m.”
The inspector general’s report included five recommendations for improving OAP, including designating an outside group to oversee quality control and establishing policies and procedures for OAP employees.
