McClelland not Perry.

 

PARKLAND MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

ADMISSION NOTE

DATE AND HOUR Nov. 22, 1963 4:45 P.M. DOCTOR: Robert N. McClelland

Statement Regarding Assassination of President Kennedy

At approximately 12:45 PM on the above date I was called from the second floor of Parkland Hospital and went immediately to the Emergency Operating Room. When I arrived President Kennedy was being attended by Drs Malcolm Perry, Charles Baxter, James Carrico, and Ronald Jones. The President was at the time comatose from a massive gunshot wound of the head with a fragment wound of the trachea. An endotracheal tube and assisted respiration was started immediately by Dr. Carrico on Duty in the EOR when the President arrived. Drs. Perry, Baxter, and I then performed a tracheotomy for respiratory distress and tracheal injury and Dr. Jones and Paul Peters inserted bilateral anterior chest tubes for pneumothoracis secondary to the tracheomediastinal injury. Simultaneously Dr. Jones had started 3 cut-downs giving blood and fluids immediately, In spite of this, at 12:55 he was pronounced dead by Dr. Kemp Clark the neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery who arrived immediately after I did. The cause of death was due to massive head and brain injury from a gunshot wound of the left temple. He was pronounced dead after external cardiac message failed and ECG activity was gone.

McClelland didn't see the wound.

Carrico and Jones in their contemporaneous notes described the wound as an entrance.

McClelland also writes "from a gunshot wound of the left temple." in that statement....

Besides, "fragment wound" refers to the size of the wound, not the direction of the projectile.

McClelland said that he saw the throat wound "clearly":

Though he called it an ENTRANCE wound. (Not an exit of a fragment.)

BTW, the way he describes the throat wound and the back wound, it appears to me that he was thinking that a shot to the throat exited the back. I have started a new thread for discussion of that.

True. But he didn't actually see the wound. Dr. Jenkins initially thought there was a wound on the left temple and that is what he told McClelland. (Source) McClelland's drawing indicates that he didn't see the wound in the left temple, which is consistent with what Dr. Jenkins said.

So McClelland clearly saw the throat entrance wound as long as that conforms to one of your pet theories, but when it contradicts one of your other pet theories you go with McClelland got that bit wrong maybe.

You've got Magic Fragments from an EOP strike causing all the damage in the neck without showing up on x-ray.

Cyril Wecht also said there may be a fragment in the middle-neck area on the x-rays.

OMG ... There is a serious disconnect here.  There is NO hole in the back of JFK's head in the Zapruder film or in the Mary Moreman photo.  There is a big hole on the top of his head!

The argument hasn't changed much in almost 55 years.  It's still Parkland vs. Autopsy.  Who do you believe?

Does anyone have information on President Kennedy's clothes concerning the trail of custody for those clothes.  In particular, information on who took custody of his coat, shirt, tie, trousers, and back brace.  Was that material just bagged up and given to the FBI or Secret Service?

The reason for this question is that there is quite a bit of argument on the back wound hole in the shirt fitting the hole in the President's back exactly.  There was that odd discussion about creepy (crepey) skin.  Or, otherwise there were arguments of jackets riding up or shirts riding up because things didn't quite work for the backwound unless special pleading was done.

All I did was report some facts, Cliff. I didn't take any position at all in my post. And I said  nothing about the theories I believe may be correct. So I don't know why you're complaining.

Sandy, you've taken you positions on other posts.

Your theories require many incorrect witnesses and impossible behavior of skull/bullet fragments.

If so, kindly reply to the other posts.

Only in the one case, where the doctors might have been mistaken. (BTW, at least one of the doctors at Parkland said that he or they weren't sure it was an entrance wound. I'll post his statement if you want.)

Not so.
