...nose-throat specialists), headed by Dr. Wilbur J. Gould of Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, reconnoitered the presidential larynx, the territory in which they would be operating at dawn. The polyp, about the shape and consistency of a tiny button mushroom, was growing from the right vocal cord. Surgeon George A. Hallenbeck of the Mayo Clinic and Dr. David P. Osborne, a Navy surgeon, examined the presidential abdomen, where a lump the size of a golf ball protruded near the scar left by his gallbladder operation.

The extra nursing care that is called for costs thousands of dollars, and insurance companies allot 25% of expenses in all spinal-cord injuries for bedsore treatment alone. Serious and persistent as it is, the bedsore problem is usually handled by a method that is decades old: sheepskin sheets that soften pressure on patients and permit air to circulate under their bodies. Today, several young doctors have rediscovered and redesigned a discarded system...
