Known Personnel In/Out of Trauma Room One

Parkland Memorial Hospital
12:38 pm to 2:08 pm
November 22, 1963

compiled by Brad Parker and Charles Crenshaw, M.D.


While there is no real evidentiary value to "Known Personnel In/Out of Trauma Room One," it represents a part of basic investigative procedure which was overlooked by both the Warren Commission and the subsequent House Assassinations Committee. "They did not even do enough of a research project to find out who all was in the room," observed Charles Crenshaw, M.D., who was in the trauma room while President Kennedy was being treated for his injuries. Through consulting works from Jim Bishop to Harold Weisberg, I completed the initial list in mid 1993. The list was then submitted to Dr. Crenshaw for changes, additions, or other suggestions in January of 1994.

Please note that the authors do not contend that everyone present observed the President's injuries. In fact, few of these people had the opportunity to see the man at the center of the emergency room hysteria. The list consists of people who, at one time or another during the President's time at Parkland, entered the emergency room.

"Known Personnel In/Out of Trauma Room One" has never before appeared in a publication, and we are pleased to offer it through Fair Play.

I would like to extend my most sincere appreciation to Charles A. Crenshaw, M.D. without whom this list would not exist. Not only was his book, JFK-Conspiracy of Silence, of great assistance in outlining the events at Parkland, but he contributed a great deal in reviewing the list during the editing and revising stages. Without his support and encouragement, this list most certainly would have been forgotten long ago.
