The White House Doctor: My Patients Were Presidents - A Memoir by Connie MarianoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fascinating look at serving as White House doctor from Bush I through the two Clinton terms. She brings insight from her personal and familial navy/steward roots and Filipino perspective. This autobiography has a bit of a Horatio Alger arc as well as a revealing look at Secret Service attitudes, training and responsibilities; drawing blood for the Lewinsky scandal; a network of informal staff Filipino "spies"; and rising to admiral.
Well done!
