We discovered a local doctor doesnt have to imagine because he was. Its easy to see this is the late 60s. The man on the right is olympic swimmer mark spitz. Exceeding little end. He was so light in the water. Standing next to him is his then roommate and teammate david johnson. Now johnson is an Orthopedic Surgeon at Med Star Washington Hospital Center in d. C. He remembers well being on the mens u. S. National Team Colorado space peteing in germany with spitz competing in germany with spitz. I won gold and silver. My silver was the preliminaries but not the gold medal finals. He put mark in my place for the finals. And i didnt swim the finals. I never got a medal. That wasnt his only brush with the olympics.

While uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. Trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. Trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. Most common side effects were injectionsite pain, fatigue. Headache, muscle pain, and chills. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if youve received any other meningitis b vaccines. Meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like. A drink. A spoon. A kiss. It all started here. It might have been prevented with trumenba. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about trumenba. Is Gold Medalist ryan lochte a liar .
