Moore Invented 'the New Medical Gown' and He Gave it to Women to Cover Their Bladders and Back After an Episode of Menstruation

 42 Years Ago Today She Found Lingerie in the Bedroom

Monday 10th of March 1980
Cardiologist Herman Tarnower aka The Scarsdale Diëtist is shot four times at close range by his 57-year-old lover Jean Struven Harris at the age of 70 in Purchase, New York, United States.
Harris supposedly got mad at Tarnower when she found lingerie of 38-year-old secretary-receptionist at the Scarsdale Medical Center and love rival Lynne Tryforos in the bedroom.

According to the Daily Mail (via @Silly_Sisters) "In the back of her dress gown there appears an old-fashioned lace top, and it may or may not be an antique or a reproduction of an old fashion dress. The gown is a vintage dress pattern written in 1854 by Sir William Moore, who was the most important female health practitioner in the country at the time. Moore invented 'the new medical gown' and he gave it to women to cover their bladders and back after an episode of menstruation (the surgery to drain the blood from the uterus was a very painful process.")
According to a piece of information available to them in the papers, the couple had been dating during the year 2000, when Tarnower had just been told she would not get married and that Harris was going to be coming to town every month for several years.
