Bryant, Joseph D. (Joseph Decatur), 1845-1914

He wrote a book entitled: Operative surgery in 1901. -- FeanorStar7 ( talk) 03:12, 15 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Bryant was Grover Cleveland's doctor and was the lead surgeon in the super-secret operations for the removal of the President's oral cancer and the following political cover-up. See: The President is a Sick Man : Grover Cleveland Survives a Secret Surgery at Sea and Vilifies the Courageous Newspaperman Who Dared Expose the Truth by Matthew Algeo.

By the way, Bryant's name is Joseph Decatur and he delivered Grover and Frances Cleveland's second child, Esther, on 9 September 1893, the only child of a President ever to be born in the White House itself. Wordreader ( talk) 05:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC) reply

I was reading the news from 100 years ago today and came across Bryant's obit. Looking for more information about him, I was disappointed to find that his entry was just a single sentence. So, I expanded the article by basically mashing together two different obituaries.

Not sure if I did it right, particularly with the citations, so any input is appreciated. Jet Jaguar ( talk) 23:01, 8 April 2014 (UTC) reply
