Temporal arteritis

I do not think that "hardening of the arteries" is a good description of temporal arteritis which is an autoimmune-associated inflammation of the temporal and nearby arteries. Could we just remove the description and link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_arteritis ?

No pictures?

Nationality

He was born in Michigan. Therefore, he was an American citizen and his nationality should be American, not Armenian as the article here states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.166.33 (talk) 04:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mother’s death

I am flabbergasted that the article does not mention his mother’s role in his crusade. The whole reason I came to the page today was to learn more about it, and was shocked to see there was nothing about it at all. His mother died a slow, painful death from abdominal cancer, which is why he devoted himself to relieving terminally ill patients in the first place. That definitely needs to be in the article; someone with more information should add that.
