The Case of Eleanor Roosevelt
Claim to Fame" Former First Lady, wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
How She Died From a stroke, possibly the result of medical errors made while she was being treated for anemia.
Postmortem:
In April 1960, the 75-year-old Mrs. Roosevelt was found to be suffering from aplastic anenia, which means her bone marrow wasn't producing enough red blood cells. By April 1962, she was also suffering from a shortage of white blood cells and platelets, so doctors prescribed prednisone, a drug that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more blood cells. But prednisone has a side effect: it suppresses the body's ability to fight off infections.
In August 1962, Mrs. Roosevelt was back in the hospital, this time with a fever and a cough. Her doctors considered the possibility she was suffering from tuberculoses, but when a chest X-ray showed no signs of the disease, they declined to do any further tests.
Mrs. Roosevelt was discharged from the hospital… but six weeks later she was back again, this time in even worst shape and still suffering from a "fever of unknown origin". On September 27, her doctors finally took a bone marrow sample and sent it to a laboratory to test for tuberculosis, a process that takes four to six weeks.
By October 18, Mrs. Roosevelt was so miserable and so convinced her end was near that she had herself discharged so that she could die at home. Her test results came back on October 26: she had tuberculosis… and months of treatment with prednisone had made it impossible for her body to fight it off.
Not only had the doctor's diagnosis been wrong, but the medication was the worst possible thing they could have given her.
Nine days after finally receiving the correct diagnosis, Mrs. Roosevelt, still at home, suffered a stroke and slipped into a coma. She died three days later.
