My health ended my career. Joe Biden's health should prompt the same action.

We welcome Jennifer Obel, an oncology physician, who shares her personal journey of retiring from a fulfilling medical career due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Reflecting on the recent presidential debate and the health concerns surrounding President Biden, Jennifer draws compelling parallels between her experience and the challenges faced by leaders in the public eye. We delve into the importance of transparency and accountability in assessing the health of political figures, the implications for national security and public trust, and the balance between personal health and public responsibility. Jennifer's insights offer a unique perspective on the intersection of medicine, leadership, and the difficult choices that come with chronic illness.

Jennifer Obel is an oncology physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, "My body’s decline forced me to leave my job. Joe Biden needs to do the same."
