replies: text: Not done: Roosevelt was the youngest to serve as president, but he was sworn in after McKinley's assassination and was not elected until 3 years later. Kennedy was the youngest elected, which is what the article currently says. Jamedeus (talk) 18:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

message: There is an awkwardness in this section regarding the three physicians who treated Kennedy.
George Burkley is first identified as Kennedy's "physician" but later as the President's "primary White House physician." I think the more detailed description of Burkley should come first (as should always be the case but sadly is often not, as I've seen in many other articles).
The really needed change is in regard to Burkley's determination that Jacobson and Travell were providing "medically inappropriate" treatments. It says in the article that Jacobson's involvement in treating the President was unknown to the other two doctors. In that case, how could Burkley have made a diagnosis regarding Jacobson's treatment, if he didn't know Jacobson was treating Kennedy?
It must be that Jacobson's involvement eventually came to the attention of Burkley and Travell, or at least to Burkley's attention. If so, simply inserting the phrase "at first" in the fourth paragraph, where Jacobson is first mentioned and his involvement is described as unknown to the other two doctors, could resolve the problem.
