[edit]

In the WWII section it mentions that Bob Dole was the 1st patient to be treated with streptomycin, but the wiki page for that drug says that he was the 3rd patient, but the 1st who was treated without complications. ProfFreaksworth (talk) 06:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 13:51, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Streptomycin

[edit]

Quote from this article: «After large doses of penicillin were not successful, he overcame the infection with the administration of streptomycin, the first ever use of that drug in a human.»


Quote from the article about streptomycin: «In March 1946, the third person—Robert J. Dole, later Majority Leader of the United States Senate and presidential nominee—experienced a rapid and robust recovery.»


They can’t both be right? Rhj.info (talk) 13:22, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhj.info: There are conflicting WP:RS over whether Dole was the very first or just one of the early uses of streptomycin. I changed the article to state Dole "one of the first", which would include either the first or early uses, and added the source (which I confirmed does in fact state he was the third) from the "streptomycin" article. Wikipedialuva (talk) 05:22, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Dole sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1980, but quickly dropped out of the race." That comma is unnecessary because "but quickly dropped out" is not an independent clause. Please delete that comma. 2401:7000:CAE9:1A00:81AA:A24E:E353:1E1E (talk) 08:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
