Sure, being a doctor has its perks. But flirting with King Juan Carlos of Spain and spending the night on the Queen of England’s yacht? Those perks only happen when your patients are presidents.
Dr. Connie Mariano, the first military woman in American history to be appointed White House physician, tells tales of her nine years at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue under Presidents George H.W.
