November 22, 1963, is a date defined by I will never forget. Sent home from school alone, frightened and attached to the TV, the day unfolded before me that even by today's standards was too much, too fast and too sad to grasp the entirety of what went down.
My commitment to understanding it moved from passive to active many years later when Dr. Lawrence Klein, one of my personal physicians introduced to me by by mom, told me that on Nov. 22, 1963, he was a third-year medical student at UT Southwestern, doing a rotation at Parkland Memorial Hospital, and was in the emergency room when President John F. Kennedy was brought in. His hope was that his recollection, a shared moment in history, could be recorded as part of his legacy for his grandchildren.
At first, we talked about his role, taking the president into Trauma Room One, alerting the chief of neurosurgery, and wheeling wounded Texas Governor John Connolly on what would become the "magic bullet" gurney. As my background is in television, our talk quickly moved from an idea for a book to a documentary and a plan to contact the other surviving doctors who were in the ER that day. At that point, I had no preconceived perceptions or theories. With the luxury of more than 50 years of data and testimony, my research I began in the present and I worked my way backwards.
I videotaped interviews with seven of the doctors. We reached out to Dr. Malcom Perry, the attending surgeon in charge, and Dr. Kemp Clark, the chief of neurosurgery, but due to health issues neither was able to participate. The interviews were conducted individually and then I brought them together as a group. It was the first time since the day of the assassination that they had been reunited.
Their recollections were precise and clear, as if the intervening decades had melted away. Each of them reacted strongly when the autopsy pictures were projected on a screen. They didn't agree on everything, but it became obvious that the way the president looked at Parkland did not match the autopsy photos taken at Bethesda even before the official autopsy began.
Besides the doctors, I did several other interviews. Among these were Jim Jenkins, the only surviving member of the autopsy team, whose observations I wanted to compare with those of the Parkland doctors, and also Robert Tanenbaum, the original deputy chief counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations, who helped clarify what was told and not told to the public. He quit the committee because he felt they weren't conducting a real search for truth.
My husband, Bill Garnet, and I have continued our research for over 15 years, which has led us to the following conclusions: The doctors at Parkland had extensive experience in treating gunshot wounds and had no agenda other than trying to save the president's life. Those who saw the wound in the president's neck believed it was an entrance wound. Several of them saw a gaping hole in the back of JFK's head.
The government did everything it could do to negate, intimidate and threaten the Parkland doctors because their observations contradicted the single "magic bullet" theory of the Warren Commission. Based on this, I concluded that there had been a cover-up and the public had not been told the truth.

Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK Paperback – February 23, 2011
Ted Cassidy, “Lurch”, was one of the first on the scene doing interviews. I have not seen him in any film. He was working for WFAA. He would have stood out being 6 foot 7 inches tall, I believe.
Oswald was up on the 6th Floor as he was supposed to be filling orders. All bullets at the sniper’s nest on the 6th floor, all bullets fragments found and the “Pristine “ bullet were all tested. They came from the same production lot. They all had the same lead content, and well as all the other impurities were at the same percentages.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory AND/OR Spoiler Alert Ping
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory AND/OR Spoiler Alert Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Promise to destroy the CIA and see what happens...
The reporter smoking a cigarette in the studio, right in the face of the guy he is interviewing is classic.
Caroline Kennedy is 65, could possibly live to be 100 as her grandmother Rose did.
And some others involved are still around, though aged.
As long as anyone still connected and is still alive there will be no grand revelations of JFK’s murder.......................
Must be nearing an election year the media always drags out the Kennedy assassination.
“And I don’t believe for a minute that Oswald was the “lone gunman” “
From what I’ve gathered over the years Oswald might not have even been there.
“ They came from the same production lot.”
Or so we are told…..
Kinda like “safe and effective “, don’cha think?
Tested twice.
He was at work that day but might have been down in the lunchroom.
The New York Times 2nd page reported that the Thr[t Wound was ABOSOLUTLY an entry wound.
From Novemnber 23rd, 1963.
Our own government stole the national election a few years back. Was that also sobering?
60th Anniversary of JFK’s public execution in Dallas 11/22/1963
I was in 2nd grade. We listened to the coverage in our classroom on a radio.
We had a substitute teacher that day. Our regular teacher took the day off, as she had connections, and was attending a luncheon at the Dallas Trade Mart, where Kennedy was scheduled to speak.
Who was behind JFK’s public execution is the most compelling question of the 20th Century, for me.
