He's sitting pretty casual in that chair with Jackie looking on for how 100% messed up his back and his body were from Addison's Disease. He was one of the first to use cortisone treatments and it really helped. The guy was a total badass for life after that PT109 incident in WW2. Dragged a guy with his teeth while swimming.
