Team of Five, by Kate Brower: on Health Care


George Bush Sr.: Parkinson's disease & used a wheelchair at end of life

In November 2018, Bush had been in and out of hospitals and was still mourning the death of his beloved wife of 73 years, Barbara, less than eight months before. Bush was having one of his bad days. He had Parkinson's disease and used a wheelchair or a motorized scooter, and he was not feeling well. His wife's death had shaken him; she had always said she hoped she would pass away before he did, because she could not imagine living without him. Now he was forced to live without her, and it was taking a heavy toll. The day after Barbara Bush's funeral, he was hospitalized because of an infection that spread to his blood.
