This man is my father. He is an amazing OB/GYN. He tried to retire at 80 and after turning the yard into a golf course, was called by the hospital to “help” and he’s at the hospital 3-5 days a week to this day! Sings Happy Birthday to every child he delivers, of which total in excess of 10,000. He is also a loving husband and father. His identical twin is Roger Schorlemer, a pediatrician in Dallas. They both are great doctors along with one of their older brothers - Wendell Carol (“WC”), God rest his soul, was an OB/GYN, also in San Antonio. I remember watching WC and Dad doing surgery together and talking about deer hunting and the best fishing line. Robert was born to be an OB/GYN. Many comments are right that he was/is a humble man and never talked about this event much unless we asked him to recall.
Your amazing dad deliver me and all of my children plus several of my cousins and their children. He delivered my triplets and sang Happy Birthday to each of them as he delivered them. They were born on your mom's birthday. He told me i could go in to labor any day except September 29th because that was his wife's birthday and naturally thats wheh i went in to labor. My entire family was heartbroken when he retired but love that he gets to go enjoy each day. Your dad is truly one of the most amazing men that I've ever met. God bless him and your family. -Candice
i met Kennedy in Lorain, Ohio when I was a youngster, I was riding my bicycle on rt 57 when his motorcade stopped at a gas station no longer there, and I walked up to him to say hi when his secrete service held me back but he said let him come here, he asked me my name and asked if I knew who he was, I said yes, I saw you on tv, he was running for president, we talked for a long time about baseball , my schools name etc, I will carry that day always in my heart that I met the man who became president of the USA, and was murdered for being honest and good
miguel a alvarado that is an awesome experience. U r fortunate to have met such a good man. If I was alive during this time I would’ve loved to have met him too. Seemed like a great man.
I've met this Doctor, we worked at the same Outpatient surgery center in San Antonio. Totally honest person, In fact, his older Brother is a doctor also and he saved my Son's life at childbirth
G. Private Rear right side actually. Also not just confirmed by docs at Parkland, but Bethesda, and many witnesses in Dealey Plaza. Yes it was more than established that the wound was in the right rear. The occipital Parietal to be specific.
This Doctor Robert Scholemer was my Obstetrician,I have known him since I was 20 years old in 1978, very humble honest Godly man, he delivered all 3 of my babies. Great doctor!
Seems like a good man...but I think we need to realize that he had only a quick few seconds to check out the nasty head wound....he indicated that almost the entire right, upper side of the head, both ahead and behind the ear, was the blown out area--that is not true, as the x-rays and photos at autopsy prove...the mess noticed towards the rear of the head was the result of much blood, brains, etc falling downwards, and towards the right rear of the head...his actual "back" of his head was not visible, as he was laying on his back.
@@thebreezelife .. don't you know that he was an intern back in 64 and in 78 he would have been capable of delivering babies practicing in more than one medical field there are different areas/fields of medicine and many times doctors are practiced/practicing in more than #1 field.
@@btqy one of the drs,maybe Dr Jenkins,said there were several ppl in the room each working at whatever area they were focused on so he didn't want to sound like being the only one trying to save President!! Many good ppl,drs!!
I agree, but I find most good Dr's have that certain concentration and detail that they develop over time. I see it all the time because I work in Rehab in a Hosp.
@@williamanthony9090 What a silly thing to say. He should have been more outspoken years before this interview. If he had, we might know who actually killed JFK and the fairytale known as the Warren Commission might have actually told the truth!!!
My husband was also a student at Parkland when President Kennedy was brought in and his story is very consistent with this doctors. He has been featured in Time Magazine. I have heard many stories about the legendary “Red Duke” and Dr Kerakos. Also his description of Mrs Kennedy. He has told the same story about how the secret service got rid of all the medical students including my husband. My husband is also soft spoken and never talks about this event unless asked. I was a student at the time and I remember every minute of the tv coverage. I will never forget and I hope everyone will remember this tragic event in our history.
Ms Springer, has your husband shed any light on the testimony of some 12-15 Parkland staff, and all but a couple of Bethesda autopsy witnesses, that the President's exit wound was in the right rear of the head, with an entrance in the right temple?
@@sherrylstratford5115 And if Kennedy had lived there would have never been a Vietnam War with US participation. Under Kennedy, US troops were only in Vietnam in an advisory role. Kennedy signed an Executive Order in October 1963 for a full withdrawal of all US Troops from Vietnam by December 31, 1965. The CIA and the military industrial complex, as Eisenhower called it, wanted a long, moneymaking war in Vietnam. Kennedy was not going to give it to them so they had him assassinated.
His description of president Kennedy‘s wound is so incredible and horrible. God bless him, the other doctors and other medical staff who did their best to save the president.
@@micheleroberts908 I wasn't even close to being born when this tragedy happened, but I work in the medical profession (critical care). The assessment findings that Dr. Jenkins shared regarding President Kennedy's clinical condition were very descriptive. Hearing him describe Pres Kennedy's condition tells me everything. He was "cyanotic, agonal respirations, pupils dilated, no lung sounds (left side), chest tube placement, tracheotomy (not even endotracheal intubation). The method they used to start the IV lines suggests the collapsing of vessels due to blood loss which of course would cause low blood pressure. Fluid resuscitation and blood transfusions. What really caught my attention was when he described Mrs. Kennedy giving him a "big chunk of the President's brain." That, of course, was the deciding factor for stopping all resuscitative efforts. Unbelievable. Dr. Jenkins' emotional reaction is amazing. We try our best and give our best to our patients. We cry sometimes, whether it is with or for our patients and/or with or for their families. What a great medical/clinical narrative of the events that happened during those resuscitative efforts. There is no other better description than from Dr.Jenkins, the chief anesthesiologist who lead the resuscitative efforts. Thanks for sharing the link.
At age 14, I was alone in my house, in bed, watching tv on that terrible day. The breaking news interrupted the show I was watching. It was unbelievably shocking. Everyone I knew adored the presidents family... its as if we knew them all personally and Caroline and John Jr were Americans children. Jackie had gained massive love and respect. The president, as a wounded veteran in WWII, was clearly an outspoken advocate for world peace. The wisdom in his speeches to us was profound. 🙏🏽💔✌🏽💔🙏🏽 To this day, Im still stunned and grieving that horrific loss.
Ya, I was cutting school that day when Kennedy got shot. JFK was probably the last president that the country fell in love with. Since then it seems that all presidents have been trashed, one way or another. I think it's a defense mechanism to protect them from the emotional trauma that they might go thru if that president were to end up the same way
I have known Dr. Schorlemer since 1980, this is the first time I have heard this story. Dr. Schorlemer is one of San Antonio's finest Ob/Gyn surgeons. I have no doubt that he is modest about his role in the tragedy, I can't imagine him as anything but extremely capable. It has truly been my pleasure to have know and worked with him.
He delivered my babies and I have talked to him so many times over the last 10 years. I had no idea he was there in Dallas. He never talked about it. That just shows you how modest he is. He is a really nice guy!
Darlene Hodge People who go through these things rarely talk about tragic event. My Great Uncle never told that he was at Iwo Jima until his 80’s. My Grandfather told us not talk about WWII because he went trough hell A distant cousin was a Police Officer who witnessed another Police Officer shot but never knew until I Googled his name
@@margaretocallaghan3631 Yes, men. Not blondes with huge breast implants....Margaret. I'm not impressed with your virtue signaling fake outrage. MEN like this gentlemen never indulge in such childish things.
Different ones wanted Jackie to change clothing. She said - "I want the world to see what "THEY" did to him!" And she DISLIKED LBJ and Lady Bird IMMENSELY!!!!
This amazing interview is the reason why I rely on youtube as my primary media. You might see a blip of this interview in a documentary, but not the whole 23 mins. Wow. Thank you so much for producing this interview, and doing this interview, Doctor. Amazing information.
I saw him 6 times per year for my daughters.... For 18 years I drank with him at a Christmas party. He is the most kind, gentle pediatric doctor. Roger Schorlemer.
@@smc130 wow, I did but know that. Roger is amazing. I remember him evaluating my eldest daughter literally two hours after she was born. He was so gentle and thorough. Since I was a freelance designer and contractor, my schedule was more open to appointments with him for her. So, I was the one who saw him most AND that was a lot. He and I enjoyed our visits to the point the nurses would push the door for him to wrap up and he would just push it shit on many occasions. I enjoyed our visits and he is a kind and thoughtful doctor. I miss seeing him.
You did an awesome job taking care of our president. .thank you sincerely. .you are such a humble man..God Bless you always..i was in my IN my 4th grade classroom. .I can see my teacher telling us now...as he was crying ..the president of the United States..is dead....such a sad dark day. ... I will never forget it..
I can tell you, America changed after that. There was a great since of hope and joy that left the country that day. I felt it. He was carrying America to great things. It all came crashing down that day. America was different after that.
That is correct. A major major crime was committed that day, A coup. The America that Kennedy envisioned and one the people were in alignment with died that day. This world today sucks. There isn't much hope and now we have to worry about the Corona virus which is probably a bioweapon.
@@marktrail8624 no it's simply a coronavirus which are found naturally in nature - that America still exists - JFK was no angel & unfortunately the assassination could have been easily avoided by putting the bubble top on the convertible - it was a senseless tragic loss to the family & the country - but there is hope - there are other good men & women who enter politics to do good not line their own pockets like the liar in chief
K O , right...now you can barely get them to look at you let a lone talk to you their so over worked. It's sad for the doctor's and bad for the patients.
"K O" My boss is a doctor. Some of his sons became doctors just because their dad was one, but the office manager told me that at least one of them isn't really bright enough to be one.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to view this interview. This is an exemplary and extraordinary Doctor, a role model for any Medical student. Just a real class act. Thank you Dr. Schorlemer!
If you read Frank Sinatra’s biography, you will know why JFK was assassinated and who was responsible. The reason could not be clearer. It’s possible Oswald acted as the lone shooter. His life was probably threatened and as the story unfolded, he was killed immediately after he killed the president.
HIS BRAINS WAS BLOWN OUT OF HIS HEAD, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, YOU KNOW IF THEY CAN KILL A PRESIDENT IN THE DAYTIME YOU AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE., THEY WANT TO BLAME THIS ON DALLAS BUT THE PEOPLE THAT KILLED HIM WAS FROM ELSEWHERE.
We always hear the usual stories about the details of the shooting at Dealey Plaza. But stories like this are truly fascinating, to hear about the various doctors, law enforcement officers, etc. that were involved with the aftermath later that day. Thanks to Dr. Schorlemer for sharing his story with us. I totally agree that we need to document as much of this information as possible, because a lot of the people involved are no longer with us. Once they're gone, so are the memories.
Nobody deserves what happened to him. But he was no saint. He would have prostitutes waiting for him at the Bonaventure hotel in Los Angeles when he was in Los Angeles. He also made an intern at the White House, give him and his chief of staff a hummer in the White House pool area. Great family man. What great family values. Huh?
Times have changed in the medical field. Today the secret service would have not been allowed in the room or would be told to stand back while the medical staff does their job.
supposedly he did......that morning saying "if they wanted you dead,they could shoot you from a building in the route"........whether they made that up or not ,it was true......thinking" Hope I get through this day."
I praise God for doctors like this, who devote their lives to help others, particularly President Kennedy & Governor Connelly in this case. And I thank the Lord for their professors as well who have worked to pass on the knowledge they have. I remember praying for Jackie Kennedy and her children that Jesus would help them as they worked through this tough situation.
@@Clare-teaThe biggest evil are people who say evil is in the world. From that anything is "justified"! If evil is in the world, and if there is a god, then that god ALLOWED that evil, indeed created it! Then why pray if god's will is already set? Trying to change God's will??
I was ten years old and in school when it happened. When they announced to our classroom that the President was dead, they soon sent all of us home. I remember how terrible that day’s events unraveled and the bad feelings everyone had for days afterwards. It was a awful weekend and even that next week! It is a time I did not realize how much it changed our history for ever!
These were exceptional and different times. Canadians simply referred to him as President Kennedy, not US President Kennedy. We felt very close to America and Americans in this era. Often they were literally family as so many Americans and Canadians moved easily and freely between both countries. My husband's dad worked at 580 AM CJFX Radio in Antigonish, NS. The news of the assassination came over the teletype. He did not pick up the phone but rather drove home to tell his wife that the President had been murdered. This was very personal, even in Canada. A deep sadness that enveloped the remainder of the 1960's.
I do not believe him. I think he is lying. The government talked to each doctor and threatened their careers. The government made them change their story. This is a soft sell.
Fifty seven years (2020) after the assassination I am extremely aware of how much we lost when JFK died. The world would be a better place had he served until 1968.
Jackie, after this afternoon in Dallas, was more normal than she had any reason to be. If it had been me, they would have had to have driven me straight to a mental facility. I think having those young children saved her, they needed her. Thank God.
Dr. Robert Schorlemer, is a wonderful doctor today, and who played a Very Prolific Part of a Very Tragic Day in the U.S.A. History! Thank you Sir for sharing your story and your part of our country's history!!
One thing that seems to run through all the medical personnel that were in the Parkland ER/trauma room that day, is that all of these people, med students, interns and residents, surgeons, medical doctors and thise with other specializes, nurses, technicians, no matter who they were as their lives went on they as a whole, were humble, honest and extremely caring men and women throughout the rest of their careers. Of course, it's possible that the very best if the best just happened to be there that day, but one really feels that this one event made a difference in what these people moved on to become in their careers. These were not men and women who took advantage of saying they were there to have some bragging rights or use it to promote their career, as many others have done in similar circumstances. These were mostly the youth on staff at a teaching hospital who never really spoke about this event until nearer or at their retirement and never flaunted it for their own benefit.
Dandydata, I agree. They were that bad and I think you are correct with your assumption. Parkland Hospital is not that far from where the shot hit him but the movies show a large part of his head blown off.
@@beckyklepper315 I dont think he was kept alive after the shots. They did not announce his death for a period of time as they were working on him. I dont think I have seen any mention of him being alive. Could be wrong.
. Thank you VERY much for posting this. Of all the reports, interviews, videos, etc. I've ever seen on what it was like being at Parkland Hospital that day, I think I can honestly say that this simple little interview, has provided the best "you are there" description of that moment that I've ever come across before, thanks to Dr. Schorlemer's incredibly detailed recollection of what he experienced on 11/22/63! It's a shame he was 'shooed' out of the operating room so soon after Kennedy's arrival by the Secret Service (btw, anybody else have a problem with a Government agent possibly risking the saving of the life of the President (remember, at that point nobody yet knew for sure (though I'm sure many already had their suspicions) that he couldn't be saved) by removing a medical person actively working on his resuscitation, simply because he decided he shouldn't be in the room?), thus cutting short his active participation in this momentous moment in history. Also, LOVED learning that the saving of the life of Lee Harvey Oswald may have come down to something as simple as the TEMPERATURE of the blood he was administered (12:16 mark) in the operating room......WHO KNEW ?? NEVER heard that before, ANYWHERE (which kind of underscores the very importance of covering as much ground as humanly possible in turning over absolutely EVERY 'rock' that is possible to find, when trying to get to the bottom of what REALLY happened in Dealey Plaza that day.......and why the Warren Commission (along with the FBI, and all other agencies of the government involved in the assassination investigation) SEEM to have failed ALL Americans, by omitting/missing/ignoring SO many, MANY 'points of interest' when originally investigating Kennedy's murder.) !! I am of the opinion that had Lee Harvey Oswald lived, and been able to stand trial, that we may very well have learned DEFINITIVELY, one way or the other, whether or not there was a conspiracy involved.........however, something ALSO tells me that had Oswald survived the gunshot inflicted by Ruby, chances were pretty DAMN good that something, or somebody else would have taken him out before he ever had the chance to reach the stand.... Again, thanks for posting this! .
I like how your answers pose the next logical question, much the same as 'you are there' answers the doctor's detailed recollections with the viewer's next logical question. Removing a doctor who is actively engaged in a patient's care is removing that much more expertise from that patient's chance for survival no matter how slim the margin. That LHO might have survived because of a transfusion is missing an essential point: the law enforcement people in charge at the key moment did not want him to survive. Same as Ruby, Dr Jolyon West with cia affiliations intravenous injection given to Jack, captive in his jail cell, supposedly to fight a cold - and boom - he suddenly has terminal rapid onset cancer from which he dies well before the new trial he had just been granted. As per Dealey Plaza, why try to untangle the gordian knot of cia smoke and mirrors/black ops? That's their specialy. Approach the problem from the other, less secreted side of the coin, "The Devil's Chessboard" is the most thorough up to date and detailed documentation as to exactly how Allen Dulles (OSS/dcia) and other compartmentalized high level cia personnel did the Operation in Dealey Plaza. Example: besides Dulles was James Jesus Angleton cia/CI, William King Harvey of ZR-Rifle assassination squad, "Murder Inc" in the Carribean (intel leaked by LBJ) including all the dingleberries later hired by Nixon to do the Watergate breakin that might have led to the "whole Bay of Pigs thing ... " In the long run you are discribing an investigation based on cherry-picked evidence that has since been review by lawyers and legal teams. Their conclusion, like Jesse Curry's since 11/25/63: there is insufficient evidence to convict even had LHO actually gone to trial. In an involute way Jim Garrison would have actually gotten a conviction against Clay Shaw except that Richard Helms was helping Shaw and sabotaging District Attorney Garrison! There's American Justice for ya! I say read David Talbot, "The Devils' Chessboard" but here's a video > ruclips.net/video/CXzsQlMpfUs/видео.html Read James Douglass, "JFK and the Unspeakable" > ruclips.net/video/nwECsq459d4/видео.html *A thorough reading of both will leave you without any significant or substantive doubt*
What a lovely doctor Dr. Robert Schorlemer is, I love his smile ,Glad to know JFK was in such good company during there heroic efforts to save our president . God Bless him .
I was sitting in my first grade class. We had a large black & white tv that my teacher had turned on when Walter Cronkite made the announcement. I remember it was right before the end of the day. The teacher burst into tears and ran out into the hallway. When I got home my mother had the tv news on for the rest of that Friday and the entire next day. She sent my brother and I to Sunday School on Sunday. We walked to my grandfather's house and entered just in time to witness Oswald being murdered on live tv! I was 7, but fortunately my grandparents continued letting me watch it. In retrospect, they were probably in some kind of temporary shock.
My mother was 7 1/2 months pregnant with me at the time of President Kennedy's assassination. She was 25-years-old and cried and cried as she watched the events of that day and in the week, (and weeks), to come. She was glued to our television set, not missing anything. My mother told my oldest sister, who was six at the time, that she had to "pay attention as something very important has happened". My sister remembers that time because of the impact it had on our mother. Like most women of her age and time, our mother had a little crush on Jack Kennedy. (She also felt he had accomplished great things.) But she also found that he was witty and debonair and youthful and relatable in his way, and all of a sudden he was GONE. By assassination, no less. Violence. Ugly violence, no matter WHO did it. My mother gave birth to me five-and-a-half weeks early, and she thinks it was because of the stress of that time. I was born on December 8th, when I was to be born January 15th, 1964. I am glad this doctor shared his story. He tries to be removed, but you can see he is still affected by President Kennedy's murder. As he said, everyone knew where they were on THAT day. So true. So true. (I was in utero!!)
I don’t doubt your mother’s reasoning of why you were born early. She experienced more stress than many others I knew at that time. I was a 9th grade student sitting in a biology class that day, in Jackson, Mississippi. Let me say very few tears were shed where I was. I was stunned and will never forget the cheering of students in classes nearby. It was unreal. The next year my father was transferred by his employer to San Antonio, Tx. We never looked back.
@@smc130 How bizarre that there would be cheering over a man getting his brains blown out. No matter what anyone's politics, the assassination was a tragedy on a human level. Why do you think those others cheered? I have never come across a story such as yours in the many renderings I have seen or read about John F. Kennedy's assassination.
@@smc130 They cheered? My God !!! It doesn't matter what your political affiliations, a human being with a family was senselessly murdered that day. That the teachers ALLOWED the cheering says a great deal.
Such a great thing for me to have seen this. I saw President Kennedy and Mrs . Kennedy's motorcade that day as they came past our school and we were lined up to wave at President and Mrs. Kennedy. It was a great moment. And I saw him the night before when they deplaned and my dad was there with security. And he's so right about everyone knowing where they were that day and never forgetting. The sadness was so profound and all these years later I realize that it did change me and how I view things so much more than I ever realized.
I was in 4th grade and we had just settled back into class post lunch and there was a knock on our classroom door. The principle informed out teacher about what happened. She returned to our room crying and told us and that school would be dismissing early. I only lived a few blocks from the school and walked home, crying the entire way. I loved Pres. Kennedy and his family even at that age. My Mom was sitting in the den with the tv on crying.
Great interview. I like the part where he mentions the Secret Service agent telling him to leave the ER as he was assisting in the resucitation of JFK...I realize the good doctor was but a kid on that day in 1963, however, it would have been fitting had he told the SS agent to, "fuck off!"
robert glenn People (like you) need to understand that the US, nowdays, is a totally different country than it was in the 60's. We (the US population) used to have and enjoy freedom. Police used to be like Adam-12. Police will be nothing more than jackbooted govt thugs in only a few years. An assasination used to be a terrible event. Now, it's almost expected on a regular basis.
I remember this awful day like it happened yesterday...I was 10 years old and just getting upstairs for bed when my mom called me back: "Marianne! president Kennedy has been shot!" I fell into a deep ravine. This was the first time I realized the world was bad...the world changed for me from that day on and was devided into before and after the assasination. And then the other murder of Robert Kennedy...I died another time inside.... In 2003 and 2004 I visited the United States with my dad and paid a visit to Arlington. I cried as if It all happened last year. At the Ford Museum in Dearborn I touched the limousine in which President Kennedy was killed...It was a sort of healing mission and the circle was round.
I was involved in several traumas of this nature, over a 16 year period of time. As a registered respiratory therapist I was involved in 7 to 10 thousand code blues. Some more than others of course are more memorable and tend to be bad memories. This doctor had one for the books, and the next day he was coding the shooter. My boss and I saved a couple of premature babies one day. We were both on top of our game that day. That was a real high point. I saw quite a few miracles along the way. . RIP President Kennedy, and brother Bobby. I was 13 and 18 years old respectively when we lost those 2 great men.
Assassinations in the 60's World Wide were a dime a dozen. Kennedys had enemies from the start thanks to Papa Joe. An upstart bootlegger, pornographer, thief and general scumbag. Got his 1st son killed and the rest of his sons had targets on their back. Teddy screwed himself. None of them are worth the time of day weren't the media's and Kennedy propaganda of what wholesome family they weren't.
Ray Benoit You Sir, are absolutely correct! Others here who insult you , do nothing but embarrass themselves and show how pitifully naive and uninformed they most definitely are! Maranatha!
Thank you so very much to this doctor here… I forgot your name! Some people included it in their comments… And thank you so much to the fellow conducting the interview and the camera person and anyone else who helped with this!!! Hi sure remember where I was on that tragic and fateful day… I went to a girls private boarding school in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and I was across the hallway from my room, visiting some other girls… One of them had a radio on and we heard the news over the portable radio! A very sad day! And during this time I also lived on the island of Palm Beach on the East Coast of Florida, where the Kennedys also had a large estate on the north side of the island… I got to meet Jackie Kennedy with my mother, when she came to the house to ask us if we were the people who had the kangaroo! No, that was the boxes from across the street! My mother and I think my youngest brother was with her were shopping I think it was on Worth Avenue, when President Kennedy (I think he was President then?! Or perhaps it was before he was elected & sworn in?!) walked up to her and started talking to my mother! I was sad I didn’t get to be there with her and my brother! There was some connection for our family and the Kennedy family… very interesting to say the least!
Very interesting & insightful interview that carries the poignancy of that tragic day with great weight upon the soul of the viewer (in this case me)... Thanx for uploading. Peace & RIP John F Kennedy. Rx
I’ll never forget that day. I was moving and angry that the movers were late because I was alone with my then two children and no bottles for the baby. I cried all the way to our new place and didn’t unpack I just sat in front of the tv in disbelief and cried! I never got over that! May President Kennedy’s memory be a blessing! ❤️
Dr. Robert Schorlemer is a very mild-mannered, humble man. I really enjoyed hearing what he had to say about his own experience that day. For myself, I will never forget that day. I was on my way home from elementary school when the police lady at our crosswalk told a handful of us students about Kennedy's assassination. An hour later I was delivering newspapers to my customers. The headline's print size was of course huge. i kept a copy of that paper and put it away for safekeeping. I still have it.
I recommend watching Uncut Interview: JFK’s Emergency Room Doctor. Doctor: Dr. Robert McClelland. He was one of the surgeon’s called to (and stayed in) the ER. It’s a great interview captured for history. Doctors can tell where a bullet enters and leaves the body. One bullet entered through his neck and exited through his throat. The second bullet entered his head at the hairline and blew the back of his head off. It was at least a five inch wound to the back of the head. He was also called to work on Oswald. It’s an excellent interview. Like this gentleman Dr. McClelland said it didn’t change his life.
Actually, Dr. McClelland has partially recanted his initial observation, agreeing that the wound might have been to the back-right side of the head...JFK had a large head, and the back of his head was not being seen by the attending doctors at Parkland--his head was very bloody of course, and nasty brain material was oozing downward, and therefor was partially covering the back-right portion of his head...that was mistaken as being a wound location--but it was not.
The throat wound, destroyed by the tracheotomy, was an entrance wound, the bullet exited his back. If Oswald fired that bullet from above and to the President's right, it could not enter his back and exit his throat. Arlen Spector admitted that the Warren Commission moved the back wound in their presentation higher changing evidence to fit the predetermined conclusion.
Any doctor familiar in treating or seeing bullet wounds will tell you an entrance wound always show a neat, small, round hole, while exit wounds always are ID'ed by irregular, large, ragged holes where it leaves the body. So,you got the entrance and exit areas reversed. There was no "neck" wound at all! Dr. Malcolm Perry was the first doctor at Parkland to see him, and saw the small, round hole just below his Adam's Apple, and recognized it in his report as an entrance. This was long before any politicized report claiming all shots came from the rear. The large, ragged exit hole in the occipital-parietal skull area in the rear. That also proved a frontal shot. The assistant press secretary, Malcolm Kilduff, in announcing the president's death an hour later, put his index finger to his right temple area, saying he died of "a bullet right through the head." Again confirming a frontal shot, that Oswald could not have done, or the throat shot either!
The second bullet entered his head at the hairline and blew the back of his head off. It was at least a five inch wound to the back of the head.: McLelland was very clear that he was only speculating - he repeated it - when he said there might have been a hairline entry. There wasn't. The doctor in this video does not say that crap at all.
Instant death in the car without doubt. The best way to go for his sake, no pain or suffering. Very sad. A dark day for the world. He was only there to say hello to his people.
Brendan DMellow, According to the attending Doctor he was still alive in the ER but when a wife hands the Doctor a piece of your brain she had recovered on the vehicle trunk, you are pretty much gone.
Another ER doctor said that if he hadn't been strapped into the brace that held him upright, he probably would've collapsed into the seat from the previous bullets and the head shot wouldn't have hit him. What confuses me (although it seems superficial) is all the accounts of Jackie's suit being covered in blood, clots, and brain tissue. When LBJ is sworn in, it looks fairly clean?
Red Duke and I talked about that day in 2009 and he told me, "Buddy, a significant part of his brains were laying on the gurney next to him. He said he went to Conley's room first and put in several orders for a nurse, then went to the Trauma room Kennedy was in, and said there were too many people in there and went back and took Conley to surgery. He said he saw Jackie in the hallway and said she had blood over her abdomen down to her feet from John F. Kennedy.
Kevin, that's not the damn point. Ray was making a legitimate observation and was expressing his feelings on how terribly the SS were behaving. At least this doctor tried. The SS were disgustingly negligent that day, and they allowed the POTUS to be assassinated on their watch.
Once you become the President of the United States your body doesn’t belong to you any longer, it’s property of the Secret Service. When Kennedy was shot it was up to the SS to get him out of there.
I grew up in Dallas and was 10 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. As an adult I recall my mother telling me about a friend of hers who was an ER nurse at Parkland when they brought his body in. She said that Jackie had removed her glove which had brain matter in it from cradling his head after the shooting. Dallas was vilified by the press as being so full of hate for JFK and was somehow responsible for his murder. I remember that day and when we children were told in a public school how so many of us, students and teachers, broke down in tears for the loss of our president. The 60s was the decade of loss for the U.S...the loss of a president, of Martin Luther King Jr., of Robert Kennedy, and of so many young lives in Viet Nam. It was the loss of our nation's innocence. I have never accepted the Warren's Commission's Report. Such an inane pack of lies. I don't know how anyone of our generation cannot be suspicious of the US Government. Time and time again they have lied and committed atrocity after atrocity. I knew almost immediately that 911 was a false flag to get us into a war in the Middle East. It was Viet Nam all over again, but in the desert. I had hope that Obama would be a true leader, but he betrayed this nation in some many ways. What I have difficulty understanding is why there are still well-meaning people who don't see the deception and still support Obama and the Clintons. Sad that they continue under the delusion the blue pill.
Vivian Aussmann what's Kennedys death got to do with Obama or Cl8nton? nothing. that's what's the issue with this stupid country, elect an idiot like Trump, yet bash Clinton. Jesus ducking Christ!
Your story was going well until you brought up Obama and Hillary...now WTF does these ppl have to do with JFK?? BTW your President is a fucking degenerate corrupt conman. He hasnt done anything good for the citizens except the wealthy and Big Corporations....you've been conned by @GOP traitors.
Remember exactly what I was doing? No problem! Once it was announced that JFK had died 2,000 students at my high school went completely silent, except for the occasional sniffle. Horrible day! ✝️
This man remembers everything in very specific detail. He remembers all of the people on that shift who were involved and some that weren't. Despite him having a moment of history he keeps coming back to his job which was to learn. He wanted and needed to learn as much as he could before moving up to be an intern the next year. I loved that. That and that he just happened to be there. He's not looking for fame or even credit. This is a good man. This is a man who became a doctor for the right reasons. Love him. Thanks for sharing this. 👍
I trained at Parkland in the early 80's and some of the older Doc's that were there that day would talk about this day and it was mesmerizing.Kennedy actually went to what we called trauma room one which is where most of the gun shot wounds started out,I have seen a lot of people die in that room and also a lot of people saved.Parkland is a hell hole to train in but it sure turns out some excellent Doctors.
@@jeffneis553 I often wonder if they could have done more for President Kennedy had he been attacked in this day and age, with all the advanced technology we have? As much as I have read and studied about this attack, their seems to be a blind spot in the total picture of his head wound. The question is “Could the technology of todays world have saved JFKs life? And if so, what shape would he have been in?
@@Christine-y3m9h Mrs Kennedy was holding part of her husband’s brain in her hand on arrival at Parkland. Even here in the 21st century I doubt he could have been saved.
i stopped at a 3 car wreck 1 woman pregnant with my 4 yr old dtr..i told her hold mamas bag handle and run//we ran from car to car she handed me gloves stethascope etc until we had all 3 cars worked on then ambulance showed upo..we got into the car she looked at me and said mama you are my hero..she is now a dr:)))))
I was 10 at the time. The shock felt thruout the country on that Friday can't be overestimated. With the assassination , the Oswald murder on Sunday and then the JFK funeral on Tuesday, everybody felt it was all a dream. I remember at 10 after seeing the Oswald murder on TV that even at that age I sensed this country had changed forever. That it would never be the same.
The good doctor's description of JFK's head wound is consistent with what we see @ frame 313 of the "Z" film; but not what we see in the "official" autopsy photos released by the U.S. Government.
It's not the same because JFK's body was switched with police officer Tippett's who looked remarkably like the president Check out RUclips video "JFK to 911" and go to minute 1:59:40 ruclips.net/video/U1Qt6a-vaNM/видео.html&bpctr=1517810205
Teacher Mark Totally inconsistent! In no way are they all consistent! They are forgeries and fakes in the National Archives. Absolute proof of a government coverup!
Part of being a good doctor includes the skill of not showing your emotions, whether you’re delivering an unfavorable diagnosis or talking to a patient’s family after a surgery. It’s a learned skill. Even after 40 years as an RN I find it difficult to do.
Dr. Robert Schorlemer was my mother's life long physian and a great doctor . He and his fellow student were the first men / interns to see and treat the slain president , John Fetzgerald Kenndy . He is a humble man and when asked at parties or social gatherings , " Where were you and what were you doing on November 22 , 1963 " He had a story to tell !
I remember that day so well. On a college campus and the word came JFK had been shot during class. Everyone was upset and class dismissed. Hundreds of us went to the alumni building where there was a single tv. We stood for what seemed an eternity watching the news. Suddenly the news was interrupted and a spokesman came on with those fateful words...the President was dead. Most of us were crying and all of us just stood there in shock. That day was burnt into my mind forever.
Especially for those of us who are old enough to remember. I was just short of eighteen years old and in Melbourne, Australia. We got used to what happened, but I don’t think we ever got over it. Not really. He was so loved here.
I was 5 years old and remember being in the backyard with my mother raking leaves when a neighbor ran out her back door shouting “The President has been shot!”. We lived in Virginia Beach, Va. My mom and our housekeeper wore black dresses for the rest of the weekend until after the funeral.
Kitty Gonzalez I was 7 and in school. Mostly I just remember watching the funeral on a tiny black and white tv with my parents at my grandparents house in Owensboro, KY.
I was 4 y/o when Kennedy was shot. It was my brother's birthday, and our mom was in the kitchen baking his cake. We were watching cartoons when Walter Cronkite broke in with the news. I ran into the kitchen yelling, "Mom, someone shot the President!! Walter Cronkite said so!!" I'll never forget it. I still remember how I felt as a 4 y/o hearing the POTUS was dead. It disturbed my little world.
Think, a daytime soap opera was on at the time when CBS NEWS interrupted the programming with a CBS NEWS BULLETIN. Then you saw Walter Cronkite announce that President John F. Kennedy has died 1 pm, some 38 minutes ago. Vice president lyndon johnson is on air force one and will be taking the oath of office. Reporter Dan Rather, relayed the death of President Kennedy to the CBS NEWS TELEVISION NETWORK at the time. I was 7 years of age when all of this had happened, and remembered it as I was in second grade at the time. After we all have been dead and gone, the information of who truly was responsible for all of this won't matter to anyone anymore, because by then, nobody will care anymore, which is really, really sad.
Albatross, I completely agree. I think most people know this, which is why there is so much distrust in the narrative, and why the conspiracy surrounding this will not go away.
U can tell from the video when he got hit the 2cd time his head kind of went back. If he was hit from the back his cave would have been blown off like the hole in the back
@@kathysiebert6654 That isn't true. It's been stated that the bullet entered through the back and out the front, right by his ear. The back of his head had a huge wound, a piece of his skull was a "flap" surrounding it. If you look at the pictures, you'll understand what I mean. He WAS shot twice, once in the neck and a second time in the head. Obviously, the second shot was fatal. Every single piece of information we have points to the truth; JFK was shot in the back of the head.
@@tabascosauce3972 awell, we disagree. The reports and doctors on my Documentaries were, First..1 to the back of head which existed his throat. 2 came from the knoll, which was front. Whatever, the man is dead. Main pt I was trrrrying to make is there were 2 shots, and each came from a different gunman.
This man is my father. He is an amazing OB/GYN. He tried to retire at 80 and after turning the yard into a golf course, was called by the hospital to “help” and he’s at the hospital 3-5 days a week to this day! Sings Happy Birthday to every child he delivers, of which total in excess of 10,000. He is also a loving husband and father. His identical twin is Roger Schorlemer, a pediatrician in Dallas. They both are great doctors along with one of their older brothers - Wendell Carol (“WC”), God rest his soul, was an OB/GYN, also in San Antonio. I remember watching WC and Dad doing surgery together and talking about deer hunting and the best fishing line. Robert was born to be an OB/GYN. Many comments are right that he was/is a humble man and never talked about this event much unless we asked him to recall.
He seems like such a dear man.
I was the little girl he never mentioned.... LUCKY LUCIANO'S DAUGHTER 😎☂️🍒💥💯©️®️™️🌸 PEAKY BLINDERS 👀
Your amazing dad deliver me and all of my children plus several of my cousins and their children. He delivered my triplets and sang Happy Birthday to each of them as he delivered them. They were born on your mom's birthday. He told me i could go in to labor any day except September 29th because that was his wife's birthday and naturally thats wheh i went in to labor. My entire family was heartbroken when he retired but love that he gets to go enjoy each day. Your dad is truly one of the most amazing men that I've ever met. God bless him and your family.
-Candice
He's been a physician a long time, this assassination was 60 years ago so he was 20 or 25 😥
Ask your father if he remembers a little black girl that delivered more than one baby that day. I was to young to be with a baby.
i met Kennedy in Lorain, Ohio when I was a youngster, I was riding my bicycle on rt 57 when his motorcade stopped at a gas station no longer there, and I walked up to him to say hi when his secrete service held me back but he said let him come here, he asked me my name and asked if I knew who he was, I said yes, I saw you on tv, he was running for president, we talked for a long time about baseball , my schools name etc, I will carry that day always in my heart that I met the man who became president of the USA, and was murdered for being honest and good
miguel a alvarado That’s pretty damn cool, Man.
Great and wonderful memory for you. God bless you for sharing.
Great story. But JFK was not honest or good as President and not as a person.
miguel a alvarado that is an awesome experience. U r fortunate to have met such a good man. If I was alive during this time I would’ve loved to have met him too. Seemed like a great man.

Totally honest person,
In fact, his older Brother is a doctor also and he saved my Son's life at childbirth

This Doctor Robert Scholemer was my Obstetrician,I have known him since I was 20 years old in 1978, very humble honest Godly man, he delivered all 3 of my babies. Great doctor!
Seems like a good man...but I think we need to realize that he had only a quick few seconds to check out the nasty head wound....he indicated that almost the entire right, upper side of the head, both ahead and behind the ear, was the blown out area--that is not true, as the x-rays and photos at autopsy prove...the mess noticed towards the rear of the head was the result of much blood, brains, etc falling downwards, and towards the right rear of the head...his actual "back" of his head was not visible, as he was laying on his back.
It was his brother who delivered your kids. This guy is a general surgeon not an OB but his brother is
He comes across as a very humble/caring / reserved man/doctor.
@@thebreezelife .. don't you know that he was an intern back in 64 and in 78 he would have been capable of delivering babies practicing in more than one medical field there are different areas/fields of medicine and many times doctors are practiced/practicing in more than #1 field.

Catch up with the one Dr. McClelland did 5 years ago. More medically informative.

Too bad he couldn't keep his "humble" memories to himself.

@@williamanthony9090 What a silly thing to say. He should have been more outspoken years before this interview. If he had, we might know who actually killed JFK and the fairytale known as the Warren Commission might have actually told the truth!!!
My husband was also a student at Parkland when President Kennedy was brought in and his story is very consistent with this doctors. He has been featured in Time Magazine. I have heard many stories about the legendary “Red Duke” and Dr Kerakos. Also his description of Mrs Kennedy. He has told the same story about how the secret service got rid of all the medical students including my husband. My husband is also soft spoken and never talks about this event unless asked. I was a student at the time and I remember every minute of the tv coverage. I will never forget and I hope everyone will remember this tragic event in our history.
OK but he just looks too young. JFK death 60 years ago. Was he about 18-25 then??😂
@@markwhitman9029 yes
He really was a stand out President.
Ms Springer, has your husband shed any light on the testimony of some 12-15 Parkland staff, and all but a couple of Bethesda autopsy witnesses, that the President's exit wound was in the right rear of the head, with an entrance in the right temple?
@@sherrylstratford5115 And if Kennedy had lived there would have never been a Vietnam War with US participation. Under Kennedy, US troops were only in Vietnam in an advisory role. Kennedy signed an Executive Order in October 1963 for a full withdrawal of all US Troops from Vietnam by December 31, 1965. The CIA and the military industrial complex, as Eisenhower called it, wanted a long, moneymaking war in Vietnam. Kennedy was not going to give it to them so they had him assassinated.
Humble guy. That’s who you want working on you.
You can't find then like this anymore
His brother, Dr. Roger Schorlemer, was my pediatrician beginning 1974. Great man and great doctor.
U lie
His description of president Kennedy‘s wound is so incredible and horrible. God bless him, the other doctors and other medical staff who did their best to save the president.
His head pretty much exploded upon being shot. Not only was there no way to save him, he was obviously already DOA.
@@3dguy839 I bet you have an awesome leisure suit too.
@@3dguy839 We have the technology, we will rebuild him. 😆
@@micheleroberts908 I wasn't even close to being born when this tragedy happened, but I work in the medical profession (critical care). The assessment findings that Dr. Jenkins shared regarding President Kennedy's clinical condition were very descriptive. Hearing him describe Pres Kennedy's condition tells me everything. He was "cyanotic, agonal respirations, pupils dilated, no lung sounds (left side), chest tube placement, tracheotomy (not even endotracheal intubation). The method they used to start the IV lines suggests the collapsing of vessels due to blood loss which of course would cause low blood pressure. Fluid resuscitation and blood transfusions. What really caught my attention was when he described Mrs. Kennedy giving him a "big chunk of the President's brain." That, of course, was the deciding factor for stopping all resuscitative efforts. Unbelievable. Dr. Jenkins' emotional reaction is amazing. We try our best and give our best to our patients. We cry sometimes, whether it is with or for our patients and/or with or for their families. What a great medical/clinical narrative of the events that happened during those resuscitative efforts. There is no other better description than from Dr.Jenkins, the chief anesthesiologist who lead the resuscitative efforts. Thanks for sharing the link.
Kennedy was already dead.
What a kind and humble doctor.
Was thinking the same thing
At age 14, I was alone in my house, in bed, watching tv on that terrible day. The breaking news interrupted the show I was watching.
It was unbelievably shocking.
Everyone I knew adored the presidents family...
its as if we knew them all personally and Caroline and John Jr were Americans children. Jackie had gained massive love and respect.
The president, as a wounded veteran in WWII, was clearly an outspoken advocate for world peace. The wisdom in his speeches to us was profound.
🙏🏽💔✌🏽💔🙏🏽
To this day, Im still stunned and grieving that horrific loss.
Me too
@Anne M me four
Me five!

Ya, I was cutting school that day when Kennedy got shot. JFK was probably the last president that the country fell in love with.
Since then it seems that all presidents have been trashed, one way or another. I think it's a defense mechanism to protect them
from the emotional trauma that they might go thru if that president were to end up the same way
I have known Dr. Schorlemer since 1980, this is the first time I have heard this story. Dr. Schorlemer is one of San Antonio's finest Ob/Gyn surgeons. I have no doubt that he is modest about his role in the tragedy, I can't imagine him as anything but extremely capable. It has truly been my pleasure to have know and worked with him.
Darlene Hodge makes me wish I had a bajina
just kidding I,m to old to be saying crap like that.😀
aAaa aAaa You've got that right.
He delivered my babies and I have talked to him so many times over the last 10 years. I had no idea he was there in Dallas. He never talked about it. That just shows you how modest he is. He is a really nice guy!

People who go through these things rarely talk about tragic event. My Great Uncle never told that he was at Iwo Jima until his 80’s.

I can tell you, America changed after that. There was a great since of hope and joy that left the country that day. I felt it. He was carrying America to great things.
It all came crashing down that day. America was different after that.
That is correct. A major major crime was committed that day, A coup. The America that Kennedy envisioned and one the people were in alignment with died that day. This world today sucks. There isn't much hope and now we have to worry about the Corona virus which is probably a bioweapon.
Mark Trail Yes,I agree!!
@@marktrail8624 no it's simply a coronavirus which are found naturally in nature - that America still exists - JFK was no angel & unfortunately the assassination could have been easily avoided by putting the bubble top on the convertible - it was a senseless tragic loss to the family & the country - but there is hope - there are other good men & women who enter politics to do good not line their own pockets like the liar in chief
Some people called it the end of the age of innocence.

Doctor, a role model for any Medical student. Just a real class act. Thank you Dr. Schorlemer!
It was a much more innocent time...I will never be convinced Oswald was the lone gunman..
Read Case Closed, please.
If you read Frank Sinatra’s biography, you will know why JFK was assassinated and who was responsible. The reason could not be clearer. It’s possible Oswald acted as the lone shooter. His life was probably threatened and as the story unfolded, he was killed immediately after he killed the president.
SS agent George Hickey killed JFK with an AR-15 with frangible ammo from the second car.
@@reason2463 I've heard this before
President Trump allowed release of documents that said the Jay Edger Hover was concern that people only thought about a single gunman. Why?

Thank you for your contribution. It is in fact a huge memory for many as you say, "disbelief'.
We always hear the usual stories about the details of the shooting at Dealey Plaza. But stories like this are truly fascinating, to hear about the various doctors, law enforcement officers, etc. that were involved with the aftermath later that day. Thanks to Dr. Schorlemer for sharing his story with us. I totally agree that we need to document as much of this information as possible, because a lot of the people involved are no longer with us. Once they're gone, so are the memories.
Check out Dallas Police Officer Craig’s story. We was murdered for telling the truth.
He smiles too much, thus, he is a liar too.
Nobody deserves what happened to him. But he was no saint. He would have prostitutes waiting for him at the Bonaventure hotel in Los Angeles when he was in Los Angeles. He also made an intern at the White House, give him and his chief of staff a hummer in the White House pool area. Great family man. What great family values. Huh?
What a nice man he seems to be. It must be interesting and emotional to have been a witness to such a profound historical event.
Carrico when telling his story recalls an intern by the name of White and a oral hygienist who's name he doesn't recall. No mention of this man.
Times have changed in the medical field. Today the secret service would have not been allowed in the room or would be told to stand back while the medical staff does their job.
The Secret Service are a bunch of tools. I am sure they were scared sh*tless they were gonna be blamed.
He knew he had enemies from within. If only he could have seen it coming.
keep your enemies close.......but that can be as we saw.....fatal.
LBJ and Hoover no 1 enemies of the President.
Ruby McClain Tell it and if you really look at it they’re all connected 💯
Lbj and Hoover had him killed
supposedly he did......that morning saying "if they wanted you dead,they could shoot you from a building in the route"........whether they made that up or not ,it was true......thinking" Hope I get through this day."
Very good man, this doctor. Clearly, he has distinguished himself in the many years he has been a physician. Excellent interview.

I praise God for doctors like this, who devote their lives to help others, particularly President Kennedy & Governor Connelly in this case.
And I thank the Lord for their professors as well who have worked to pass on the knowledge they have.

Great interview. Thank you for your service to so many for so long.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
These were exceptional and different times. Canadians simply referred to him as President Kennedy, not US President Kennedy. We felt very close to America and Americans in this era. Often they were literally family as so many Americans and Canadians moved easily and freely between both countries. My husband's dad worked at 580 AM CJFX Radio in Antigonish, NS. The news of the assassination came over the teletype. He did not pick up the phone but rather drove home to tell his wife that the President had been murdered. This was very personal, even in Canada. A deep sadness that enveloped the remainder of the 1960's.
I still think of Canadians as our family. 🇺🇸
Such an interesting story and you can tell he is being as truthful and humble as he can be.
I do not believe him. I think he is lying. The government talked to each doctor and threatened their careers. The government made them change their story. This is a soft sell.
Fifty seven years (2020) after the assassination I am extremely aware of how much we lost when JFK died. The world would be a better place had he served until 1968.
The government war mongers weren’t about to let that happen. Horrifically sad.
Jackie, after this afternoon in Dallas, was more normal than she had any reason to be. If it had been me, they would have had to have driven me straight to a mental facility. I think having those young children saved her, they needed her. Thank God.
CIA Jackie did it! That is why she was not hysterical. Read: Killer Queen on Kindle.
'A very sweet thought, there . . . Caroline and John-John certainly DID need her that day!
Dr. Robert Schorlemer, is a wonderful doctor today, and who played a Very Prolific Part of a Very Tragic Day in the U.S.A. History! Thank you Sir for sharing your story and your part of our country's history!!
Look what Texas is doing to our country shame on you
One thing that seems to run through all the medical personnel that were in the Parkland ER/trauma room that day, is that all of these people, med students, interns and residents, surgeons, medical doctors and thise with other specializes, nurses, technicians, no matter who they were as their lives went on they as a whole, were humble, honest and extremely caring men and women throughout the rest of their careers. Of course, it's possible that the very best if the best just happened to be there that day, but one really feels that this one event made a difference in what these people moved on to become in their careers. These were not men and women who took advantage of saying they were there to have some bragging rights or use it to promote their career, as many others have done in similar circumstances. These were mostly the youth on staff at a teaching hospital who never really spoke about this event until nearer or at their retirement and never flaunted it for their own benefit.
If Kennedy's head wound was as serious as stated then Kennedy was dead upon impact! His last moments were on the route prior to the shots.
I agree he was dead before the hospital but your not dead till the dr says you are
@@marycarson2923 "...you're not dead till the dr says you are"??? Really? No, you're dead when you're dead LOL However, a doctor can call it.
Dandydata, I agree. They were that bad and I think you are correct with your assumption. Parkland Hospital is not that far from where the shot hit him but the movies show a large part of his head blown off.
My friend's son shot himself in the head. The injury eventually did kill him...but he was kept alive, as was Kennedy, for a few hours.
@@beckyklepper315 I dont think he was kept alive after the shots. They did not announce his death for a period of time as they were working on him. I dont think I have seen any mention of him being alive. Could be wrong.

Thank you VERY much for posting this. Of all the reports, interviews, videos, etc. I've ever seen on what it was like being at Parkland Hospital that day, I think I can honestly say that this simple little interview, has provided the best "you are there" description of that moment that I've ever come across before, thanks to Dr. Schorlemer's incredibly detailed recollection of what he experienced on 11/22/63!
It's a shame he was 'shooed' out of the operating room so soon after Kennedy's arrival by the Secret Service (btw, anybody else have a problem with a Government agent possibly risking the saving of the life of the President (remember, at that point nobody yet knew for sure (though I'm sure many already had their suspicions) that he couldn't be saved) by removing a medical person actively working on his resuscitation, simply because he decided he shouldn't be in the room?), thus cutting short his active participation in this momentous moment in history.
Also, LOVED learning that the saving of the life of Lee Harvey Oswald may have come down to something as simple as the TEMPERATURE of the blood he was administered (12:16 mark) in the operating room......WHO KNEW ?? NEVER heard that before, ANYWHERE (which kind of underscores the very importance of covering as much ground as humanly possible in turning over absolutely EVERY 'rock' that is possible to find, when trying to get to the bottom of what REALLY happened in Dealey Plaza that day.......and why the Warren Commission (along with the FBI, and all other agencies of the government involved in the assassination investigation) SEEM to have failed ALL Americans, by omitting/missing/ignoring SO many, MANY 'points of interest' when originally investigating Kennedy's murder.) !!
I am of the opinion that had Lee Harvey Oswald lived, and been able to stand trial, that we may very well have learned DEFINITIVELY, one way or the other, whether or not there was a conspiracy involved.........however, something ALSO tells me that had Oswald survived the gunshot inflicted by Ruby, chances were pretty DAMN good that something, or somebody else would have taken him out before he ever had the chance to reach the stand....
Again, thanks for posting this!
.
I like how your answers pose the next logical question, much the same as 'you are there' answers the doctor's detailed recollections with the viewer's next logical question.
Removing a doctor who is actively engaged in a patient's care is removing that much more expertise from that patient's chance for survival no matter how slim the margin.
That LHO might have survived because of a transfusion is missing an essential point: the law enforcement people in charge at the key moment did not want him to survive. Same as Ruby, Dr Jolyon West with cia affiliations intravenous injection given to Jack, captive in his jail cell, supposedly to fight a cold - and boom - he suddenly has terminal rapid onset cancer from which he dies well before the new trial he had just been granted.
As per Dealey Plaza, why try to untangle the gordian knot of cia smoke and mirrors/black ops? That's their specialy. Approach the problem from the other, less secreted side of the coin, "The Devil's Chessboard" is the most thorough up to date and detailed documentation as to exactly how Allen Dulles (OSS/dcia) and other compartmentalized high level cia personnel did the Operation in Dealey Plaza.
Example: besides Dulles was James Jesus Angleton cia/CI, William King Harvey of ZR-Rifle assassination squad, "Murder Inc" in the Carribean (intel leaked by LBJ) including all the dingleberries later hired by Nixon to do the Watergate breakin that might have led to the "whole Bay of Pigs thing ... "
In the long run you are discribing an investigation based on cherry-picked evidence that has since been review by lawyers and legal teams. Their conclusion, like Jesse Curry's since 11/25/63: there is insufficient evidence to convict even had LHO actually gone to trial.
In an involute way Jim Garrison would have actually gotten a conviction against Clay Shaw except that Richard Helms was helping Shaw and sabotaging District Attorney Garrison! There's American Justice for ya!
I say read David Talbot, "The Devils' Chessboard"

Agree 👍🎥
I think had I been him, I would have said to the agent who told me to get out, "What, you're trying to protect him now? You're a half hour late!"
Terry Harris Think you’ve watched that farce of a movie too much !
MARK DEMOS
This phisicisn is a real man and doctor.... very humble...
Right, this physician is a humble medical person. He doubt wither John Fitzgerald Kennedy
well.
I've known this physician for years and never knew. What a remarkable Physician.
U lie
“What you need to know…..and what you’re able to know”,wise man. I’m a retired medical dr.
I hope, that a number of people will listen to this person.
What a lovely doctor Dr. Robert Schorlemer is, I love his smile ,Glad to know JFK was in such good company during there heroic efforts to save our president . God Bless him .
God blessed him from the beginning!...He is very intelligent, good-looking and had benefit of a good education...we should all be so lucky!
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. This was so tragic…
I was sitting in my first grade class. We had a large black & white tv that my teacher had turned on when Walter Cronkite made the announcement. I remember it was right before the end of the day. The teacher burst into tears and ran out into the hallway. When I got home my mother had the tv news on for the rest of that Friday and the entire next day. She sent my brother and I to Sunday School on Sunday. We walked to my grandfather's house and entered just in time to witness Oswald being murdered on live tv! I was 7, but fortunately my grandparents continued letting me watch it. In retrospect, they were probably in some kind of temporary shock.
My mother was 7 1/2 months pregnant with me at the time of President Kennedy's assassination. She was 25-years-old and cried and cried as she watched the events of that day and in the week, (and weeks), to come. She was glued to our television set, not missing anything. My mother told my oldest sister, who was six at the time, that she had to "pay attention as something very important has happened". My sister remembers that time because of the impact it had on our mother. Like most women of her age and time, our mother had a little crush on Jack Kennedy. (She also felt he had accomplished great things.) But she also found that he was witty and debonair and youthful and relatable in his way, and all of a sudden he was GONE. By assassination, no less. Violence. Ugly violence, no matter WHO did it. My mother gave birth to me five-and-a-half weeks early, and she thinks it was because of the stress of that time. I was born on December 8th, when I was to be born January 15th, 1964. I am glad this doctor shared his story. He tries to be removed, but you can see he is still affected by President Kennedy's murder. As he said, everyone knew where they were on THAT day. So true. So true. (I was in utero!!)
I don’t doubt your mother’s reasoning of why you were born early. She experienced more stress than many others I knew at that time. I was a 9th grade student sitting in a biology class that day, in Jackson, Mississippi. Let me say very few tears were shed where I was. I was stunned and will never forget the cheering of students in classes nearby. It was unreal. The next year my father was transferred by his employer to San Antonio, Tx. We never looked back.
@@smc130 How bizarre that there would be cheering over a man getting his brains blown out. No matter what anyone's politics, the assassination was a tragedy on a human level. Why do you think those others cheered? I have never come across a story such as yours in the many renderings I have seen or read about John F. Kennedy's assassination.
@@smc130 They cheered? My God !!! It doesn't matter what your political affiliations, a human being with a family was senselessly murdered that day. That the teachers ALLOWED the cheering says a great deal.
Such a great thing for me to have seen this. I saw President Kennedy and Mrs . Kennedy's motorcade that day as they came past our school and we were lined up to wave at President and Mrs. Kennedy. It was a great moment. And I saw him the night before when they deplaned and my dad was there with security. And he's so right about everyone knowing where they were that day and never forgetting. The sadness was so profound and all these years later I realize that it did change me and how I view things so much more than I ever realized.
I was in 4th grade and we had just settled back into class post lunch and there was a knock on our classroom door. The principle informed out teacher about what happened. She returned to our room crying and told us and that school would be dismissing early. I only lived a few blocks from the school and walked home, crying the entire way. I loved Pres. Kennedy and his family even at that age. My Mom was sitting in the den with the tv on crying.
Great interview. I like the part where he mentions the Secret Service agent telling him to leave the ER as he was assisting in the resucitation of JFK...I realize the good doctor was but a kid on that day in 1963, however, it would have been fitting had he told the SS agent to, "fuck off!"
they told him to stop working on him because they wanted to make sure he would not survive
That agent was stupid. Kennedy wasn't going to survive that regardless of what the physicians did.
robert glenn People (like you) need to understand that the US, nowdays, is a totally different country than it was in the 60's.
We (the US population) used to have and enjoy freedom.
Police used to be like Adam-12.
Police will be nothing more than jackbooted govt thugs in only a few years.
An assasination used to be a terrible event.
Now, it's almost expected on a regular basis.
FoMoCo1 Wow, moronic govt employes now can make diagnosis' in an emergency room?
The culture of the US is slipping away more and more.
robert glenn lol
It was a hopeless situation and I know Jackie knew
I remember this awful day like it happened yesterday...I was 10 years old and just getting upstairs for bed when my mom called me back: "Marianne! president Kennedy has been shot!" I fell into a deep ravine. This was the first time I realized the world was bad...the world changed for me from that day on and was devided into before and after the assasination. And then the other murder of Robert Kennedy...I died another time inside....
In 2003 and 2004 I visited the United States with my dad and paid a visit to Arlington. I cried as if It all happened last year. At the Ford Museum in Dearborn I touched the limousine in which President Kennedy was killed...It was a sort of healing mission and the circle was round.
I can't imagine touching that very car..I think I would have lost it!
I was involved in several traumas of this nature, over a 16 year period of time. As a registered respiratory therapist I was involved in 7 to 10 thousand code blues. Some more than others of course are more memorable and tend to be bad memories. This doctor had one for the books, and the next day he was coding the shooter. My boss and I saved a couple of premature babies one day. We were both on top of our game that day. That was a real high point. I saw quite a few miracles along the way. . RIP President Kennedy, and brother Bobby. I was 13 and 18 years old respectively when we lost those 2 great men.
Respect to you sir and thank you 🧠.
When the establishment wants you to go away,you go away.
Assassinations in the 60's World Wide were a dime a dozen. Kennedys had enemies from the start thanks to Papa Joe. An upstart bootlegger, pornographer, thief and general scumbag. Got his 1st son killed and the rest of his sons had targets on their back. Teddy screwed himself. None of them are worth the time of day weren't the media's and Kennedy propaganda of what wholesome family they weren't.
"They" meant for him to be dead. And " they"are the same element brewing their poison today . any questions?
Ray Benoit You Sir, are absolutely correct! Others here who insult you , do nothing but embarrass themselves and show how pitifully naive and uninformed they most definitely are! Maranatha!
When you know too much - you become a dead man !
Ray Benoit yeah, l have a question. If you sit at the back of a bus do you get a longer ride?
@@peterbravestrong if you're sitting next to me it may seem like a longer ride . anymore questions ?
Ray Benoit lol. Have a good day mate. 👍
Thank you so very much to this doctor here… I forgot your name! Some people included it in their comments… And thank you so much to the fellow conducting the interview and the camera person and anyone else who helped with this!!! Hi sure remember where I was on that tragic and fateful day… I went to a girls private boarding school in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and I was across the hallway from my room, visiting some other girls… One of them had a radio on and we heard the news over the portable radio! A very sad day! And during this time I also lived on the island of Palm Beach on the East Coast of Florida, where the Kennedys also had a large estate on the north side of the island… I got to meet Jackie Kennedy with my mother, when she came to the house to ask us if we were the people who had the kangaroo! No, that was the boxes from across the street! My mother and I think my youngest brother was with her were shopping I think it was on Worth Avenue, when President Kennedy (I think he was President then?! Or perhaps it was before he was elected & sworn in?!) walked up to her and started talking to my mother! I was sad I didn’t get to be there with her and my brother! There was some connection for our family and the Kennedy family… very interesting to say the least!
I'm honored to have seen this💚
Very interesting & insightful interview that carries the poignancy of that tragic day with great weight upon the soul of the viewer (in this case me)... Thanx for uploading. Peace & RIP John F Kennedy. Rx
what i love is watching him ,look back as hes recalling that time, hes reliving it all again for god knows the zillienth time
I’ll never forget that day. I was moving and angry that the movers were late because I was alone with my then two children and no bottles for the baby. I cried all the way to our new place and didn’t unpack I just sat in front of the tv in disbelief and cried! I never got over that! May President Kennedy’s memory be a blessing! ❤️
Thank you for this most interesting interview.
Dr. Robert Schorlemer is a very mild-mannered, humble man. I really enjoyed hearing what he had to say about his own experience that day. For myself, I will never forget that day. I was on my way home from elementary school when the police lady at our crosswalk told a handful of us students about Kennedy's assassination. An hour later I was delivering newspapers to my customers. The headline's print size was of course huge. i kept a copy of that paper and put it away for safekeeping. I still have it.
I recommend watching Uncut Interview: JFK’s Emergency Room Doctor. Doctor: Dr. Robert McClelland. He was one of the surgeon’s called to (and stayed in) the ER. It’s a great interview captured for history. Doctors can tell where a bullet enters and leaves the body. One bullet entered through his neck and exited through his throat. The second bullet entered his head at the hairline and blew the back of his head off. It was at least a five inch wound to the back of the head. He was also called to work on Oswald. It’s an excellent interview. Like this gentleman Dr. McClelland said it didn’t change his life.
Actually, Dr. McClelland has partially recanted his initial observation, agreeing that the wound might have been to the back-right side of the head...JFK had a large head, and the back of his head was not being seen by the attending doctors at Parkland--his head was very bloody of course, and nasty brain material was oozing downward, and therefor was partially covering the back-right portion of his head...that was mistaken as being a wound location--but it was not.
The throat wound, destroyed by the tracheotomy, was an entrance wound, the bullet exited his back. If Oswald fired that bullet from above and to the President's right, it could not enter his back and exit his throat. Arlen Spector admitted that the Warren Commission moved the back wound in their presentation higher changing evidence to fit the predetermined conclusion.
Any doctor familiar in treating or seeing bullet wounds will tell you an entrance wound always show a neat, small, round hole, while exit wounds always are ID'ed by irregular, large, ragged holes where it leaves the body. So,you got the entrance and exit areas reversed. There was no "neck" wound at all! Dr. Malcolm Perry was the first doctor at Parkland to see him, and saw the small, round hole just below his Adam's Apple, and recognized it in his report as an entrance. This was long before any politicized report claiming all shots came from the rear. The large, ragged exit hole in the occipital-parietal skull area in the rear. That also proved a frontal shot. The assistant press secretary, Malcolm Kilduff, in announcing the president's death an hour later, put his index finger to his right temple area, saying he died of "a bullet right through the head." Again confirming a frontal shot, that Oswald could not have done, or the throat shot either!
You fell for baloney.
The second bullet entered his head at the hairline and blew the back of his head off. It was at least a five inch wound to the back of the head.: McLelland was very clear that he was only speculating - he repeated it - when he said there might have been a hairline entry. There wasn't. The doctor in this video does not say that crap at all.
Fascinating interview.
The final moment took place in that fatal car. His head wound was fatal.
steve hale agree. He was well an truly gone right there in the car.
Instant death in the car without doubt. The best way to go for his sake, no pain or suffering. Very sad. A dark day for the world. He was only there to say hello to his people.
Brendan DMellow,
According to the attending Doctor he was still alive in the ER but when a wife hands
the Doctor a piece of your brain she had recovered on the vehicle trunk, you are pretty much gone.
Another ER doctor said that if he hadn't been strapped into the brace that held him upright, he probably would've collapsed into the seat from the previous bullets and the head shot wouldn't have hit him. What confuses me (although it seems superficial) is all the accounts of Jackie's suit being covered in blood, clots, and brain tissue. When LBJ is sworn in, it looks fairly clean?
@@oldmanfred8676, his pupils were dilated and he was experiencing agonal breathing; his heartbeat was "a dying heartbeat."
All these doctors were quiet for years.
Thank you. I’m sorry you had to see that.
Evil men, Dulles, Hoover, LBJ, and others to carry this out and cover it up.
Don’t forget Pelosi’s father, JFK was having him investigated 👍look it up
Oswald did it acting alone no cover up...Case closed
I still think Curtis LeMay was involved in some way.
Wé all know that the CIA was implicated but who was working for them and mes been seen quite well : George W Bush.
@David Armstrong I agree it is quite hilarious that people believe these nonsensical conspiracy theories
Red Duke and I talked about that day in 2009 and he told me, "Buddy, a significant part of his brains were laying on the gurney next to him. He said he went to Conley's room first and put in several orders for a nurse, then went to the Trauma room Kennedy was in, and said there were too many people in there and went back and took Conley to surgery. He said he saw Jackie in the hallway and said she had blood over her abdomen down to her feet from John F. Kennedy.
Good interview and valuable information. Thank you for posting this
What a special man he is - listening to the whole interview. He gets rave reviews from patients, and just retired last year at age 85.
OMG, the Secret Service told that young doctor who was trying to revive Kennedy to get the Hell of out there! Seriously!
The back of JFK's head was blown off, do you REALLY think JFK would survive that? Jackie had 10% of his brain splattered on her gloves.
Kevin, that's not the damn point. Ray was making a legitimate observation and was expressing his feelings on how terribly the SS were behaving. At least this doctor tried. The SS were disgustingly negligent that day, and they allowed the POTUS to be assassinated on their watch.
Once you become the President of the United States your body doesn’t belong to you any longer, it’s property of the Secret Service. When Kennedy was shot it was up to the SS to get him out of there.
Fred Flintstone absolutely
He wasent trying to revive JFK he was several yards away doing nothing !!
I grew up in Dallas and was 10 years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. As an adult I recall my mother telling me about a friend of hers who was an ER nurse at Parkland when they brought his body in. She said that Jackie had removed her glove which had brain matter in it from cradling his head after the shooting.
Dallas was vilified by the press as being so full of hate for JFK and was somehow responsible for his murder. I remember that day and when we children were told in a public school how so many of us, students and teachers, broke down in tears for the loss of our president.
The 60s was the decade of loss for the U.S...the loss of a president, of Martin Luther King Jr., of Robert Kennedy, and of so many young lives in Viet Nam. It was the loss of our nation's innocence.
I have never accepted the Warren's Commission's Report. Such an inane pack of lies. I don't know how anyone of our generation cannot be suspicious of the US Government. Time and time again they have lied and committed atrocity after atrocity. I knew almost immediately that 911 was a false flag to get us into a war in the Middle East. It was Viet Nam all over again, but in the desert. I had hope that Obama would be a true leader, but he betrayed this nation in some many ways. What I have difficulty understanding is why there are still well-meaning people who don't see the deception and still support Obama and the Clintons. Sad that they continue under the delusion the blue pill.
Because they are deeply and profoundly asleep and have no desire to wake up.
Vivian Aussmann what's Kennedys death got to do with Obama or Cl8nton? nothing. that's what's the issue with this stupid country, elect an idiot like Trump, yet bash Clinton. Jesus ducking Christ!
@@TrekJohnDoe support HRC?????? Whos the idiot???? You damn Loon!
@@TrekJohnDoe right back at ya, asshole
Your story was going well until you brought up Obama and Hillary...now WTF does these ppl have to do with JFK?? BTW your President is a fucking degenerate corrupt conman. He hasnt done anything good for the citizens except the wealthy and Big Corporations....you've been conned by @GOP traitors.
Remember exactly what I was doing? No problem! Once it was announced that JFK had died 2,000 students at my high school went completely silent, except for the occasional sniffle. Horrible day! ✝️
So very interesting to hear this doctor. Thank you for this video.
I was in school. We were all stunned to hear about him.. I will forget that day. I was born in Dallas. Such a loss.
This man remembers everything in very specific detail. He remembers all of the people on that shift who were involved and some that weren't. Despite him having a moment of history he keeps coming back to his job which was to learn. He wanted and needed to learn as much as he could before moving up to be an intern the next year. I loved that. That and that he just happened to be there. He's not looking for fame or even credit. This is a good man. This is a man who became a doctor for the right reasons. Love him. Thanks for sharing this. 👍
wow so long ago ..can remember where I was and all my surroundings when I heard this!!!
I trained at Parkland in the early 80's and some of the older Doc's that were there that day would talk about this day and it was mesmerizing.Kennedy actually went to what we called trauma room one which is where most of the gun shot wounds started out,I have seen a lot of people die in that room and also a lot of people saved.Parkland is a hell hole to train in but it sure turns out some excellent Doctors.
All of the Dr.'s that worked on the President were the best of the best with such a fatal horrific injury its sad they couldnt have done more.
@@jeffneis553 Horrific head wound.
@@jeffneis553 I often wonder if they could have done more for President Kennedy had he been attacked in this day and age, with all the advanced technology we have? As much as I have read and studied about this attack, their seems to be a blind spot in the total picture of his head wound. The question is “Could the technology of todays world have saved JFKs life? And if so, what shape would he have been in?
@@Christine-y3m9h Mrs Kennedy was holding part of her husband’s brain in her hand on arrival at Parkland. Even here in the 21st century I doubt he could have been saved.

And what a great Mom she had. 👩👧
In the end memories are all we have .
Kennedy sure didn't.
I was 10 at the time. The shock felt thruout the country on that Friday can't be overestimated. With the assassination , the Oswald murder on Sunday and then the JFK funeral on Tuesday, everybody felt it was all a dream.
I remember at 10 after seeing the Oswald murder on TV that even at that age I sensed this country had changed forever. That it would never be the same.
The funeral was on Monday the 25th. It was also John's 3rd birthday.
Dr. Shorlemer is a great physician, a great human being, indeed.
The good doctor's description of JFK's head wound is consistent with what we see @ frame 313 of the "Z" film; but not what we see in the "official" autopsy photos released by the U.S. Government.
It's not the same because JFK's body was switched with police officer Tippett's who looked remarkably like the president Check out RUclips video "JFK to 911" and go to minute 1:59:40 ruclips.net/video/U1Qt6a-vaNM/видео.html&bpctr=1517810205

Wrong. Completely consistent

Not the US govt. released by the Democrats!!! That’s important to remember!
The pain is still in his face and comments.His words are guarded due to the trauma he witnessed
I was not even born then and i mourn President Kennedy he was a great man
Interesting to see this comment. I noticed total lack of facial expression, almost as if he had botox treatments.
@@CoffeebreakTX I noticed that too...almost as if he was very bored, retelling his story!
Part of being a good doctor includes the skill of not showing your emotions, whether you’re delivering an unfavorable diagnosis or talking to a patient’s family after a surgery. It’s a learned skill. Even after 40 years as an RN I find it difficult to do.
Dr. Robert Schorlemer was my mother's life long physian and a great doctor . He and his fellow student were the first men / interns to see and treat the slain president , John Fetzgerald Kenndy .
He is a humble man and when asked at parties or social gatherings , " Where were you and what were you doing on November 22 , 1963 " He had a story to tell !
I remember that day so well. On a college campus and the word came JFK had been shot during class. Everyone was upset and class dismissed. Hundreds of us went to the alumni building where there was a single tv. We stood for what seemed an eternity watching the news. Suddenly the news was interrupted and a spokesman came on with those fateful words...the President was dead. Most of us were crying and all of us just stood there in shock. That day was burnt into my mind forever.
Remember it to this day.
Still sad after all these years😞
Especially for those of us who are old enough to remember. I was just short of eighteen years old and in Melbourne, Australia. We got used to what happened, but I don’t think we ever got over it. Not really. He was so loved here.
I sure wish President Kennedy and his two brothers were still here the world would be in a better place.
Sure very saaaad despite the length of years
I was 5 years old and remember being in the backyard with my mother raking leaves when a neighbor ran out her back door shouting “The President has been shot!”. We lived in Virginia Beach, Va. My mom and our housekeeper wore black dresses for the rest of the weekend until after the funeral.
Kitty Gonzalez I was 7 and in school. Mostly I just remember watching the funeral on a tiny black and white tv with my parents at my grandparents house in Owensboro, KY.
I was 4 y/o when Kennedy was shot. It was my brother's birthday, and our mom was in the kitchen baking his cake. We were watching cartoons when Walter Cronkite broke in with the news. I ran into the kitchen yelling, "Mom, someone shot the President!! Walter Cronkite said so!!" I'll never forget it. I still remember how I felt as a 4 y/o hearing the POTUS was dead. It disturbed my little world.
Think, a daytime soap opera was on at the time when CBS NEWS interrupted the programming with a CBS NEWS BULLETIN. Then you saw Walter Cronkite announce that President John F. Kennedy has died 1 pm, some 38 minutes ago. Vice president lyndon johnson is on air force one and will be taking the oath of office. Reporter Dan Rather, relayed the death of President Kennedy to the CBS NEWS TELEVISION NETWORK at the time. I was 7 years of age when all of this had happened, and remembered it as I was in second grade at the time. After we all have been dead and gone, the information of who truly was responsible for all of this won't matter to anyone anymore, because by then, nobody will care anymore, which is really, really sad.
Thanks for sharing this interview - an eye opener in many ways.
Every description I have heard of the wound at the back of the head is indicative of an exit wound. Not an entry wound.
All I can add is another Dr that was involved stated JFK was shot twice! First from the back, second from the front right.
Albatross, I completely agree. I think most people know this, which is why there is so much distrust in the narrative, and why the conspiracy surrounding this will not go away.
U can tell from the video when he got hit the 2cd time his head kind of went back. If he was hit from the back his cave would have been blown off like the hole in the back
@@kathysiebert6654 That isn't true. It's been stated that the bullet entered through the back and out the front, right by his ear. The back of his head had a huge wound, a piece of his skull was a "flap" surrounding it. If you look at the pictures, you'll understand what I mean. He WAS shot twice, once in the neck and a second time in the head. Obviously, the second shot was fatal. Every single piece of information we have points to the truth; JFK was shot in the back of the head.
@@tabascosauce3972 awell, we disagree. The reports and doctors on my Documentaries were, First..1 to the back of head which existed his throat. 2 came from the knoll, which was front. Whatever, the man is dead. Main pt I was trrrrying to make is there were 2 shots, and each came from a different gunman.
