Misdiagnosis of Ike[edit]

You say:

Snyder rendered initial treatment to Dwight Eisenhower when the president suffered a heart attack in September 1955...

Eisenhower's Wiki page says this (along with three references):

On September 24, 1955, while vacationing in Colorado, he had a serious heart attack. Dr. Howard Snyder, his personal physician, misdiagnosed the symptoms as indigestion, and failed to call in the help that was urgently needed. Snyder later falsified his own records to cover his blunder and to protect Eisenhower's need to portray he was healthy enough to do his job.

World War I service[edit]

Although Snyder served in the Army during the World War I era, there are no reliable sources found as of yet state that he was in a war zone during the war. More specifically, the sources do not establish defining role in World War I. Accordingly, "Category:United States military personnel of World War I" was removed until a defining role is established.
