Great column. We also should not forget those killed or wounded in the line of duty protecting our presidents from assassination attempts, like Leslie William Coffelt, a Secret Service agent killed in the 1950 assassination attempt on President Truman in a shootout with the would-be assassins, and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and Washington D.C. police officer Thomas Delahanty, both wounded in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan along with Press Secretary James Brady. Agent McCarthy positioned himself between Reagan and John Hinckley in a spread stance and literally took a bullet for the president.
Excellent. Two phrases caught my attention based on my own women's health challenges: 1. "Physicians unknowingly assured...". 2. "not yet become widely and fully understood, even among doctors."
The questions become: How many who have "been assured" have gone on to do their own research and, found root-causes and solutions "not yet widely and fully understood?" Except for the hope that energizes more personal research, the process can be exhausting and takes more time (and money) than would ever have been expected. Sad.
Interesting story. I read this about the Rooseveld assassination attempt.

Thank you! Nothing better than a history lesson and a cup of coffee to start the day!
Thank you!
