WCR Appendix VIII - The Parkland Doctors' Medical Reports

[Bob Prudhomme]

That is all of the medical reports, from doctors present at the treatment of JFK, that the Warren Commission chose to include in Appendix VIII. Missing from this list are reports from Dr. Charles Crenshaw, Dr. Paul Peters, Dr. Ronald C. Jones, Dr. Kenneth Salyer, Dr. Donald Seldin, Dr. Gene Akin, Dr. A.H. Giesecke and Dr. Delaney. It is interesting to note that, while Dr. Charles Crenshaw played a major role in the attempted resuscitation of JFK, his report was not included in Appendix VIII of the WCR, nor was he called to testify before the WC. It is further interesting to note that Dr. Crenshaw is the author of the book "Conspiracy of Silence", released in 1992. This book shook the JFK research community, as Dr. Crenshaw was the first Parkland doctor to step forward to publicly condemn the medical findings of the Warren Commission.

Dr. Charles Crenshaw, surgeon at Parkland Hospital: The headwound was difficult to see when he was laying on the back of his head. However, afterwards when they moved his face towards the left, one could see the large, right rear parietal, occipital, blasted out hole, the size of my fist, which is 2 and a half inches in diameter. The brain, cerebreal portion had been flurred out and also there was the cerebrellum hanging out from that wound. It was clearly an exit wound from the right rear, behind the ear. A right occipital area hole, the size of my fist.
