I don't recall how many of us went to the first symposium in Seattle but,
after talking to Marshall about Doc Pomus, I found and article on him, and
a photo also of him in a wheel chair. The more I studied the photo of him
and the chair, I noticed something that really isn't that unusual but, Doc
had full mobility of his upper body. Then I recalled listening to Doug Kerr,
Dr. Irani and others from all over the world discussing FDR. Lori Biehler
might remember this also. They said FDR was diagnosed with Polio as was
Doc, but they then decided it wasn't Polio at all but TM that the President
had. I'm wondering if Doc wasn't misdiagnosed too. I say that because TM is
so hard to diagnose that anyone who presents with our symptoms could easily
be diagnosed with Polio. Now, your lookin back 60 some years, and they
didn't have the diagnostic skills that they do today. Plus, a lot of people, by
the way they were taught to think, took Dr's. at their word. Hmmmm, food
for thought.
