Bill Clinton personally wrote a preface to it. Connie Mariano, private doctor and "e;Shadow of the President"e;, discloses the little-known president life for you, show the inside news of the White House with different opinions and tells you about the extraordinary life of coming out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. In 1992, when Commander Connie Mariano of the navy received the transfer order of serving as a doctor on duty in the White House for a period of two years, she had never thought of staying there for nine years: from providing medical services for President George Herbert Walker Bush to becoming a private doctor of President Bill Clinton to being appointed as the first female director of Medical Department of the White House. Working at the president's side is a work with extremely high elimination rate. The occupation posed rigorous challenges to her as characters such as a naval officer, a wife and a mother especially after Bill Clinton appointed her as his private doctor. Both putting a band-aid on George Herbert Walker Bush's heels wounded by golf shoes and taking blood samples from Bill Clinton to provide physical evidence for independent counsel during his impeachment are unprecedented military missions. The staff of Medical Department shall not only take care of President, Vice President and their families, but also provide services for thousands of military and civil personnel of the White House. This is not a work which can just be easily accomplished at home at all. Connie Mariano accompanied Bill Clinton and his wife to visit at home and abroad more than 13 times. During the journey around the world, whether on the yacht of King of Spain or on the way of flying to Kosovo for peacekeeping missions, she always carried a medicine cabinet and a cardiac defibrillator with her and was ready to work. In 2000, Connie Mariano's Captain epaulets were changed into rear admiral epaulets with one star and became a Philippine officer with the highest military rank in the history of the United States Navy. Mariano wrote the memoir based on her life and work experience in the White House and tells about what she saw, heard and thought during the period of working in the White House with humorous, lively and dignified writing style: Accompany President to visit foreign countries, serve high-ranking government officials of various countries, respond to emergency medical conditions, lead Medical Department to reform with determination... She also tells about those well-known political scandals, such as Whitewater scandal and Affair of the Zip, from her own perspective. All of these will inevitably make readers curious about American politics and inside news of the White House glut their eyes. Meanwhile, Mariano also reviewed her experience of growing into a doctor of president from an unknown Philippine girl step by step and shares her own successful experience and inspirations on life sincerely and selflessly.
