Doc come back and read your posts...

That said, you make a big mistake by ignoring my talents, or better said, denying them. You guys are way behind here and cannot dig yourselves out because you have no doc, and if you get one, I will cut him or her to ribbons in a flash..

Do we have a single shot, single image of Shepard with a bandage on his ear ? From anytime in 1968 or 1969 ???????

Do we have any believable testimony by anyone that Shepard had a bandage on his hear ?

Either way it would be interesting, could be a huge clue there either way, a photo of Shepard with a bandage. It would date the surgery, and possibly give other clues.

If he never had a bandage, then he never had the surgery.

New Narrative of Apollo is here to stay.

I support the remarks made today by my esteemed ATS colleague Dr. decisively. The issue of NASA's medical mythologies is an important one. Dr. decisively's most eloquent Apollo postings have illustrated to us that this
New Narrative of Apollo is here to stay.

The "new Apollo narrative" has no reason to fear a formal debate then, right?

Why not simply debate him?

And why would any one ever have a need for a biased "MODERATOR?" Kinda defeats the purpose....

Let's talk about labyrinthitis

The story of Alan "The Miracle of Meniere" Shepard is not complete without a preliminary diagnosis!

A prominent and debilitating symptom of labyrinthitis is severe vertigo.

Once again the room whirled madly. He felt and heard an awful ringing in his left ear that went as quickly as it came. It came back several times and Shepard knew something was dangerously, terribly wrong so he checked in with the flight surgeons.29 He was diagnosed with Meniere's syndrome, a condition in which fluid pressure builds up in the inner ear and makes the semicircular canals and motion detectors extremely sensitive. It results in disorientation, dizziness and nausea. He was also diagnosed with glaucoma, an elevated pressure in the eyeballs." Source history.nasa.gov...

As the oldest astronaut in the program at age 47, Shepard made his second space flight as commander of Apollo 14 from January 31 – February 9, 1971, America's third successful lunar landing mission. Shepard piloted the Lunar Module Antares to the most accurate landing of the entire Apollo program. This was the first mission to successfully broadcast color television pictures from the surface of the Moon, using a vidicon tube camera.

Dr. Charles Berry publicly gave out Alan Shepard's diagnosis of labyrinthitis on April 14, 1964. At what point in the official NASA narrative does Dr. Berry change the diagnosis to Meniere's disease?
