Second Opinion

There are plenty of reasons why Bill Clinton might want someone other than Dr. Burton Lee to be his White House physician — not the least of which is that Lee worked for George Bush. But Lee’s firing last Monday resurrected a touchy subject: Clinton’s medical history, as yet not fully disclosed. Lee insisted on seeing records before giving his new patient an allergy shot. His requests went unanswered, so he called Clinton’s doctors himself. Now Lee’s out of a job, but the public still doesn’t have the full story about the President’s health.
