Who verifies the health of the person in power?
Presidential health reaches far beyond the examination room.
Physician David Shusterman, MD, examines Joe Biden’s presidency alongside historical cases of illness and disclosure, asking how better evidence and independent review could strengthen public trust.
Inside, explore how to:
- Distinguish a medical diagnosis from the capacity to govern.
- Understand what cognitive screening and medical tests can establish.
- Examine how physicians, advisers, and media shape public information.
- Separate temporary illness from persistent impairment.
- Assess independent review and safeguards against political abuse.
Based on public sources, this book distinguishes fact from interpretation. It offers no remote diagnoses or claims of private medical knowledge.
