I am a physical therapist. Politically I am a conservative for the most part (I can't stand my Republican congressional rep, Lamar Smith, and will not vote for him, but that is another story.)
One of my patients began having arthritic pain in her hip during the Clinton administration. Several weeks ago she had a surgical procedure performed for the pain and I have been treating her post surgery. She is making wonderful progress and is much better. So, the onset of her pain was during a Democratic administration, and her problem is being resolved during a Republican administration with the help of a Republican therapist.
Never forget. Correlation is not causation. Correlation doesn't even imply causation.
