Dr. Robert G. Grossman, and Dr. Kemp Clark were the two neurosurgeons at Parkland Hospital who examined President Kennedy in Trauma Room #1. Grossman was not asked to testify before either the Warren Commission or the House Select Committee on Assassinations. On BBC Radio 4 he gave only his third public interview on the JFK assassination. He was asked why he never spoke out at the time. He replied that other doctors who did speak out at the time received letters making threats against their children. Grossman seems to be attempting to justify his silence by claiming that he thought these letters were coming from individuals who thought they had not done enough to save Kennedy.

Grossman did not have much of interest to say. Once he arrived in the Trauma Room the neck wound had already been destroyed. He also did not see the back wound. He said that the head wound was different to anything he had seen before and had clearly been made by a very powerful bullet. Grossman also described the taking of the body by the Secret Service. Despite efforts by the staff to keep it the SS made it clear that they wanted control of the body. Grossman justifies this action by suggesting that the SS were in a state of shock because of their failure to protect the president.

I will post details of the interview when he goes online.

The statement about the threats is interesting [and true]; the part about they were because of the doctors not doing enough to save JFK is cover for the truth. Even then [1963] it was clear that NO doctor - or team of them could have saved JFK. Subsequently we find that he did not have enough intact brain to survive, even in a vegetative state. The 'very powerful bullet' remark is also interesting, as many of us [myself included] feel that a very special type of exploding bullet [perhaps Hg or other exotic frangible types] were used. That he did not testify with the WC or HSCA is just one more proof of the sloppy [on purpose] job of these non-investigation 'investigations'.
