The $15 Revolver That Didn't Kill Garfield - The Doctors Did
-
Letto da:

The President was shot with a $15 revolver and an ivory grip that cost $1 more was left unfixed - but James A. Garfield did not die from the bullet; he died after 79 days of medical care that worsened his condition. Who really killed Garfield: the lone shooter or the physicians who treated him?
In this episode, we chart the 79-day timeline from the July 2, 1881 shooting at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station through the autopsy that finally traced the bullet’s path, and we lay out how medical decisions, political context, and simple chance shaped the tragedy. What parts of Garfield’s decline were caused by the wound itself, and what parts were caused by the attempts to save him?
