JFK Conference: Amazing Day of Information and Connecting with Good People

68. He wasn't the only one at Parkland to claim this

This is from a 1994 article by Gary L. Aguilar, MD, found here: http://www.assassinationweb.com/ag6.htm

With the exception of Adolph Giesecke, MD, the Parkland witnesses were unanimous in placing the skull wound rearward on the right side. No Parkland observer placed the wound solely anteriorly on the right side. (Adolph Giesecke, MD felt the wound extended from occiput to the front, but on the left side.) Given Mrs. Kennedy's recollection of "holding the top of his head down" it may well be that the wound did extend more anteriorly than was apparent to Parkland witnesses. This might be explained by a blood clot forming en route from Dealey Plaza to Parkland while Mrs. Kennedy held "the top" of JFK's "head down" causing the more anterior extent of the wound to be unappreciated by the emergency personnel. It is clear, however, that the Parkland witnesses described a wound in the rear of the skull on the right side. The background and qualifications of the Parkland observers make their repeated, corroborating observations compelling: there was a very obvious defect in the back of the head which was much more than a bullet entrance wound.

I haven't read this article in its entirety yet (I just found it as a result of googling other Parkland staff), but I plan to later. It seems to recap the various testimony (some of it Warren Commission) and recollections of Parkland medical staff and compares them to those of medical staff at Bethesda Naval Medical Center.
