An interesting read here.  Earlier we were having a discussion and it seemed like members here didn't believe a candidate would, or could, hide an illness.  And they certainly didn't believe a candidate's doctor would dare lie about such a thing.  Turns out....

Paul Tsongas was 3rd in line behind clinton and Brown in 1992 to be the democratic nominess.  He and his physician stood in front of cameras and lied directly to America.  He hid a cancer recurrance.

Grover Cleveland went on a 'pleasure cruise' to secretly treat cancer.  Wilson, Roosevent, and Wilson hid their ailments.  Before his lead overdose, JFK had a ton of problems and used a lot of painkillers daily, which was hidden.  Long before he was president, he was addicted.
