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.
