Dwight D. Eisenhower

While serving as 34^th President of the U.S., Eisenhower suffered a major heart attack, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and had a stroke. Incredibly though, he was undeterred, going on to end the Korean war, stabilize tensions with the USSR, and facilitate the civil rights movement, along with economic growth and prosperity. He even handled the Suez Crisis from his recovery bed, post-Crohn’s surgery.
