Did jfk have a collapsed right lung?
#1
Dr. Carrico - "Breath sounds were diminished, especially on the right, despite the fact that the endotracheal tube was in place and the cuff inflated, there continued to be some leakage around the tracheal wound."

Dr. Perry - "At that point the trachea (windpipe) was noted to be deviated slightly to the left and I found it necessary to sever the exterior strap muscles on the other side to reach the trachea."

Dr. Perry - "I noticed there was free air and blood in the right mediastinum."

Dr. Jenkins - "Dr. Peters - because of the appearance of the right chest, the obvious physical characteristics of a pneumothorax - put in a closed chest drainage chest tube."
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.
