criticism of the staffing or lack of when the president reached the ER.

We see him greeted by a gaggle of nurses and what appears to be a 4th year med student, an intern or a 1st yr resident.........whatever an extrememely junior person. EXCUSIVE ME.....THEY ANNOUNCE WHATEVER THE DAILY CODE WORD FOR THE PRES IS AND NO ONE COMES. VERY POUR RESPONSE.
IN THE MOST CRITICAL FEW MINITUES THE PRESIDENTS DUBIOUS FATES ARE SEALED BY THE LIMITED TURN OVER.

THE VERY JUNIOR GUY AND 3 MINUTES LATER A RESIDENT SEVERAL RANKS ABOVE HIM. BOTH STILL BELOW THE HEIRARCHY OR ATTENDING OR STAFF PHYSICIANS.

NOW THIS WAS FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATED STATES IN 1963.

Contrast that with a similar sitiuation I had in 1973, I was a 3rd yr resident in neuroscienceand doing diagnostics in the hospital at UCI medical center. Saturday morning we wqere notified that a 23 y/o farmer had been shot in the head, and he was on the way via ambulance. Now, obviously, this was not the president, but seasonal fruit picker. So you might expect the farmers care to lesser, but instead it was reversed. By the time his ambulance reached the e.r. there were 18 m.d., in and around the emercency room wanting to know how they could help.

I was tearful thinking howq sad it was for jfk, to in essence die, because there was no one there to keep track of all of the variables.

I doubt jfk lives if hes magicaly air lifted into trauma 1 at bellvue or cook county, just too much bad stufff allready down stream.

sad stuff
