I did not finish watching this Nat Geo special because it is a dramatization of what Dr. Sotos has been hypothesizing for years. Reputable physicians and experts in microbiology from NIH have cast so many doubts that I, personally, tend to side with them. I think we have discussed this previously on different threads.

There is no credible evidence that Mr. Lincoln had MEN2.

The theory is based on unproven speculation from a cardiologist.

His opinion has never been validated in a peer reviewed publication and appears in his self published book.

In addition, now Mr. Lincoln has had: MEN2, Marfans, Mercury Poisoning, CO intoxication, &c., &c.

Can't he just be a President under tremendous pressure?

Besides we are all dying as soon as we are born

Mostly he had a broken heart that the nation had split and waged war on itself, doncha think?

President Lincoln was very sick in March of 1865.
See paragraph that begins with "Mr. Lincoln's health deteriorated in the weeks before and after his inagural in March 1865."

Or rest, relaxation, and victory...

Possibly nowadays the diagnosis would be "burnout syndrome"...
