RE: Lincoln and Medicine
Eva, I do not recall reading the other members of the long nine were considered to suffer from Marfan Syndrome
Part of this Marfan Syndrome theory has to do with Lincoln's height, thinness, and somewhat awkward shuffling walk as he got older. He was not skinny as a young man. He was very fit and strong. He later lost weight as president, due to job pressure and illness.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
