What’s it like being the doctor for the President of the United States? In this episode, Dr. Tudor Francu welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman—a former White House physician who served five Presidents and spent 30 years in the U.S. Navy. From Air Force One emergencies to protocols for cardiac arrest and presidential assassination attempts, Dr. Kuhlman gives an insider view into high-stakes medicine at the highest level.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How Dr. Kuhlman’s journey took him from Tennessee to Loma Linda to the White House

  • The real challenges of providing care to VIPs—and why they may not get the best care

  • Behind-the-scenes stories of medical emergencies on Air Force One

  • The secret to managing care for Presidents under intense public and political scrutiny

  • How he created a standardized care system for U.S. Presidents and staff

  • The surprising risks facing aging leadership in America—and what he thinks should change

  • Why servant leadership matters more than ambition in medicine

  • What he wishes he knew earlier in his career
