Eleanor Roosevelt

We just finished watching the Ken Burns latest on the Roosevelts. Highly recommend it. The end was mostly about Eleanor and the last 15 years of her life. She was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia and upon further searching the web about her they think that her Aplastic Anemia was brought on by TB which she contracted maybe 40 years earlier. Apparently the TB was not diagnosed and consequently, she was not treated properly.
