Do Presidential candidates deserve any privacy in terms of their medical history? How do we define what health issues \u2018matter\u2019 for a role as all-encompassing as President of the United States?\n\nOn this episode Sarah looks for answers with the help of Watson Professor Rose McDermott. McDermott\u2019s 2010 book \u2018Presidential Leadership, Illness, and Decision Making,\u2019 explores the history of health issues faced by US Presidents, and the effects they\u2019ve had on the country and the world. As we prepare for the inauguration of a 78-year-old President amidst a global pandemic, there\u2019s no better time to understand the complex relationship between a President\u2019s health and health of the nation.\n\nYou can learn more about and purchase Rose McDermott's book here: [https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/presidential-leadership-illness-and-decision-making/9A5FE725BE2C9156E6A82554B3E50705]\nYou can read a transcript of this episode here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/16UG5qT7xK6iGuotBLQUqz7E0hmgdZ0Na/view?usp=sharing]","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1021be1a-b6ed-4d1d-aca4-9c6dbf619363/artworks-ianylva9ckea4vzc-yz3jta-t3000x3000.jpg"}
