John F Kennedy suffered from horrible back pain and numerous other ailments that required him to take as many as eight medications a day to function. While a Represtative he had been in and out of the Hospital and had missed many days on the House floor because of debilitating back pain.

How about FDR? Talk about pain medication - he couldn't even walk.

Indeed, and I believe that Saint John's ailments have been entirely absent from the media's focus on this matter.

No surprise, but another disappointment.

Yes and the media helped cover for him. The real question is this: would he have been elected if the public had known the extent of his medical problems.
