Serious heart attack
Time: Saturday Sep 24, 1955
Place: Colorado, U.S.
Details: Eisenhower was the first president to release information about his health and medical records while in office, but people around him deliberately misled the public about his health. On September 24, 1955, while vacationing in Colorado, he had a serious heart attack. Dr. Howard Snyder, his personal physician, misdiagnosed the symptoms like 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.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
