President as Patient

A new exhibit in Pennsylvania explores the U.S. presidency and health care:

"When the President is the Patient" compares the public image of U.S. presidents with their private medical concerns. Based on the exhibit at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, it raises the political and ethical issue of how much the public should know about the chief executive's health. It asks the question "Do truths hidden from the public serve a greater good, or should we know everything?"
