The Disappearing Mastoidectomy scar?

[Greg R Parker]

Your problem is in insisting records are never wrong for benign reasons. But here, you are simply adding to the confusion they already caused. The wound just above the elbow was not the wound of entry. It was where the bullet was removed. The one we are talking about is the entrance wound.

And your problem is that you are just making shit up. The wound of ENTRY was just above the elbow.

The physician's "NARRATIVE SUMMARY" of the shooting incident, prepared by First
Assistant Dr. R. Guthrie, reads (my emphasis):

"This 18-year-old male accidentally shot himself in the left arm with a side-

arm, reportedly of .22 caliber. Examination revealed the wound of entrance in

the medial portion of the upper left arm, just above the elbow.

If that's not good enough for you, here's a Navy document also showing that the ENTRY WOUND WAS JUST ABOVE THE LEFT ELBOW. I've highlighted the essential words to make this concept easier for you.

ATTN MODERATORS: Does the kind of "research" Parker is doing strike you as serious work? He sure makes a lot of posts, and he sure manages to mangle the facts. This seems like an enormous waste of time.

No. one Rule in the Rules of Engagement
1. You will not post any material which is false.

You have posted a number of times in this thread your belief that "1 1/4 inch vertical scar with cross-hatching" is on the left wrist. You claimed that I did not know what I was talking about when I told you that the "medial aspect of the mid-distal third of the left arm" was not a description of the wrist. You were wrong and you finally and begrudgingly admitted it.

You have made similar false statements in your attempts to defend your theory in every thread I have started. I am happy to back that up with quotes if required. In short, you have repeatedly and WITHOUT sanction, breached the numero uno rule here.

The bottom line is that the document you posted earlier was confusing, and made me think my previous position was wrong. This document clarifies it better and I now stand by what I said in # 23

The two scars I pointed to originally are the two scars from the self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The wound was not ON the elbow - it was ABOVE the elbow. See: http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/ar...sPageId=141374


I pointed to it earlier from Roses report. So for the second time... From the autopsy report: "Over the left arm, below the deltoid there is a transverse 5/8 X 3/4 inch somewhat puckered and irregular scar."

I also remind you that this discussion on the gunshot scars is not the subject of this thread.

That you have steered this off-topic is a breach of the Rules of Engagement - Rule #5. You will not engage in �threadwasting,� another difficult-to-quantify term. Forum owners and staff include in its definition the posting of off-topic material Again I have to note that you have broken rules without sanction.

Is there some form of favoritism happening here?

The number of posts is direct proportion to the number of replies.

Any accusation that I habitually mangle the facts is something I take very seriously. Your ONE example is not really legitimate since it was your confusing posts and your confusing documents which led me to believe my previous CORRECT assessment was in error.

Can you back up your assertion with any REAL examples?

I know I can post multiple examples of your errors - and will if requested.
