Sample opening statement of Dr. Connie Mariano (CM), author of

“The White House Doctor”

Q: “Why do you want this job?” CM: “It’s payback time. I owe a lot to this

country… My father was accepted into the Navy in 1940’s, … my brother, sister, and I have received medical scholarships for higher education. The Navy paid for my medical school. My family and I owe so much to America… So, if I can pay back this country by serving as doctor to my commander-in-chief, then that’s what I want to do.”

Continuation of Opening statement of Dr. Connie Mariano

Q: “What can you do here?” CM: “You see these stripes on my

sleeve? The longer I stay in the Navy, the more stripes I receive. The more stripes I receive, the more desks they put me behind. Dr. Lee I am not a desk doctor. I‘m a trench doctor. I take care of patients in the field, onboard ships, and in foreign ports. That’s what makes my day.”
