The Patient Is the President (PM)
The Patient Is the President: Deaths and Near Deaths in the White House
When the president’s life hangs in the balance, the nation’s fate can hang with it.
Would modern neurosurgery have saved Abraham Lincoln? Could today’s doctors have saved John F. Kennedy? And which two presidents who died in office might have survived if their doctors had done less?
Join historian Barry Bradford for a fascinating, dramatic, and dynamic brand-new presentation exploring the medical crises that threatened—and sometimes ended—the lives of American presidents while they were in office.
From William Henry Harrison’s fatal illness to the urgent efforts to save Donald Trump during his first-term battle with COVID-19, these riveting stories reveal medical breakthroughs, disastrous decisions, extraordinary courage, and closely guarded secrets. 
We’ll examine what happened, how doctors responded, and how modern medicine might have changed the outcome.
Along the way, we’ll discover how a president’s bedside became a place where American history could change in an instant.
Discover the extraordinary stories behind the headlines—and what happens when the patient is the president.
