The Parkland ER staff was going to do any and everything to try and save JFK... With an acknowledged chest injury, tubes are SOP....
In reality the tracheotomy was alos a waste - but they tried everything. He was dead in the limo.
What are you trying to get at Bob?
He was dead soon's his head was half blown off, so I never understood the trach, but given who the patient was the doctors must have been beyond mortified.
Really? And you know this how, Dr. Meredith?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
