I think most people fail to grasp how much danger he must have been in for someone to say “lets inject this experimental drug into the President of the United States” and everyone else in the room going “yeah, that’s probably our best course at this point”.
That is one of the craziest things in presidential history IMO and almost no one seems to think it’s a big deal when I bring it up.

Idk, president Garfield died because his surgeon didn’t believe in germ theory and tried to dig the bullet out with his unwashed hands.
This is pretty tame compared to that.
Fair. That or Teddy banging out the second half of a speech with bullet in his chest have got to be the craziest moments in presidential medical care.
