Edward Goldberg MD retired from his practice of Internal Medicine, but never gave up his love of American history. It finally came together for him with the publication of Presidents on Parade. It allowed him to blend his passion for politics with his medical knowledge and his perspective as a practicing primary care physician.
The ongoing fight against Covid infections and death is a strong example of how hard it is to evaluate and bring evolving scientific knowledge to public health actions. Presidents on Parade is an informative, readable and illuminating summary. In addition, in several case studies Dr. Goldberg amplifies historical instances where a president's own illnesses or wounds were successfully or more importantly unsuccessfully dealt with. David Marks, PhD, Goulder family professor of civil and environmental engineering emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Reserve officer, US public health service The book was interesting and well done Dr. Michael Oldstone, Professor Emeritus, Scripps Research, Member National Academy of Science, Author of Viruses, Plagues, and History Dr. Goldberg's Presidents on Parade book is a well written and delightful series of medical and political lessons to be learned. His multidisciplinary examination of how the medical treatment of 46 US Presidents has influenced the impact of diseases on political history is an insightful saga of US medical successes and failures. His examples include how President Trump's Covid Program failed to benefit from President Wilson' 1918 experience with a global pandemic.
