Does this sentence make sense?
edit"Aboard Air Force One, the White House doctor is equipped with emergency medical equipment, an operating table, and operating room lights installed at the center of the presidential plane, except for an X-ray machine and laboratory equipment." 203.35.82.136 (talk) 20:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Rephrased in article. - AnakngAraw (talk) 21:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Or this one?

Key source
editLots of stuff on physician to the president. http://books.google.com/books?id=6m75P0WpGHMC&pg=PA533&dq=%22senior+physician+to+the+president%22&hl=en&ei=RirnS8nVDISdlgerxMzoBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22physician%20to%20the%20president%22&f=false - 160.39.65.215 (talk) 21:35, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- The book is currently cited in the article. The article could be vastly expanded, too. Ludwig Deppisch's terrific book, The White House Physician: A History From Washington to George W. Bush, is also a good resource. FYI, I would avoid using Google books links unless the entire text is available online. Otherwise, the link is merely a partial link to something which the reader must buy in order to access, making it a) advertising and b) useless (like pay-to-view newspaper archives). It proves the book exists, but not what the text says. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
New WH doctor

"Sean Conley, a Navy officer who took over Jackson’s role as the president’s personal doctor last month, will continue in the role, the officials said."
title for Ronny Jackson
editRight now, Ronny Jackson is identified as a Rear Admiral. However, the Navy subsequently demoted him to Captain (see, e.g., https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2024/03/07/lawmaker-who-claims-to-be-a-retired-rear-admiral-was-actually-demoted/). Should he continue to be identified as a Rear Admiral, since that was his title while WH physician? Or should he now be identified as a Captain instead, since that is his current title?

- Since it can be years in between comments on this talk page, I went ahead and changed his rank to Captain, as that's his current rank and was his rank for more than half of his tenure. I updated the footnote about this. If anyone feels strongly about reverting his rank to Rear Admiral, please say. FactOrOpinion (talk) 16:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
