Trauma Room One: The JFK Medical Coverup Exposed

This is the story of a young doctor who was working long hours at the trauma center at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He saw all the pain and fear associated with violence and death on a daily basis.On Friday, November 22, 1963 Dr. Charles Crenshaw became part of American history when the fatally wounded president Kennedy was brought to Parkland. Two days later the president's alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was also fatally shot and also arrived at Parkland.The atmosphere at Parkland Hospital surrounding these two murders with the Secret Service agents, the removal of JFK's body almost immediately, and the phone call from Lyndon Johnson while Lee Oswald lay dying caused the doctors to realize even then that something was horribly wrong.Dr. Crenshaw felt an unspoken but menacing compulsion to remain silent about everything he saw and experienced during that strangest of weekends at Parkland Hospital. All of these doctors feared losing not only their medical careers but their very lives if they spoke out about what really happened. Finally after many years when he realized that the truth about JFK's gunshot wounds had been concealed by the government Dr. Crenshaw broke his silence and wrote a book about it.From day one there have always been people who realized that the official version of events about the JFK assassination is an absurd fairy tale. Jim Garrison realized it from a legal and criminal perspective. Fletcher Prouty realized it from an intelligence and military perspective. And Dr. Crenshaw realized it from a medical perspective.Probably the two greatest sources of suspicion about the JFK assassination are Lee Oswald's murder and the president's autopsy. These two events are typical of the JFK assassination which is rife with events that seem to almost make sense at a superficial level but yet they really don't make sense for anyone who has taken the time to look into it.What doesn't make sense about JFK's autopsy is any criminal who had been gunned down in some dark alleyway would have received a more thorough and professional autopsy than what the president of the United States received. As usual with the JFK assassination the government always has explanations for why everything went wrong. But yet the end result is always the same. Loose ends were not resolved. People were not spoken to. 'Mistakes' were made. Evidence was 'misplaced'. Witness statements do not match up with the official evidence.The Warren Commission was directly affected by JFK's fake autopsy. These autopsy results lead to their so called magic bullet theory. In fact the Warren Commission was a continuation and extension of the autopsy. Like the autopsy the Warren Commission had one goal which was to show that Lee Oswald shot JFK.Then there was the HSCA hearings which was about one step removed from the Warren Commission. It was the same thing again with people lying and focusing on unimportant issues while ignoring the very questions they were supposed to be trying to answer.At this point I don't think there's any question that this was all a massive cover up. The question now is why was it covered up and why is it still being covered up.This book does a great job of breaking a very complicated situation down to the essential questions. There are many complicated aspects to the medical cover up like the doctors at Bethesda were told to lie, the official autopsy photos don't match what the doctors at Parkland observed, and the Warren Commission and HSCA hearings were supposedly trying to figure out what happened but in reality they were trying to hide what happened.I highly recommend the documentary series 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy'. A photographic expert who appears in this series shows how JFK's autopsy photos were manipulated using mortician's wax. This matches up with the testimony of FBI agents who saw JFK's body at Bethesda and who said the autopsy photos were 'doctored up'.Dr. Crenshaw authored a newer book called 'JFK Has Been Shot'. I haven't read this book so I don't know if it's just a new edition of this one or something different.This book contains some strong criticisms of author Gerald Posner who is a believer in Oswald's guilt.

Excellent book if you are a JFK buff.

What a brave man, he was an eyewitness to history. Very well written, indebt details and disclosures. Would add to my library of knowledge.

I have been a student of the Kennedy assassination almost from the day that it happened. I have spells where my interest is on, and those where it takes a back seat to my everyday responsibilities.This has been a long awaited book for me. Not that it is new, it is new to me. As opposed to reading others works about what happened in Trauma Room One, this is the story of a man who was there. Written as a personal story and not simply a compendium of facts, Dr Crenshaw gives us a thorough treatment of what actually happened that day. He also uses this book to mount a thorough defense against this detractors who have, since the release of the first edition, tried to malign him for his account of that day. Dr Crenshaw gives details of the activities, the people, some touching and most importantly, a through description of Kennedy's head and body wounds. One of those touching things that I have never heard before was the expression of genuine grief and loss that was on Mrs. Kennedy's face who obviously still loved Jack. This contradicts the suspicions of some that she had lost her love for him due to his unfaithfulness to her. Those types of personal touches are throughout this well written story. I didn't know that Parkland Hospital was one of the best trauma centers in the US employing many skilled doctors, Dr Crenshaw one of the top. Another thing I liked but did not expect was his detailed examination of the autopsy juxtapose against the Warren Commission report. It contains many footnoted sketches. I downloaded the Kindle version but in hindsight, because of these references, the paperback would have been more useful. Highly recommended

Dr. Crenshaw has written a very credible book and survived the attempts of those who try to discredit him such as the Journal of the American Medical Association which lost a defamation suit in this matter. That speaks for itself.I have to comment on the "physics" of those who are trying the old melon argument. This one has always been laughable, but just for the fun of argument let's take it on. Hmmmm, firstly the difference between the melon and a head is that the head is attached to a body but the melons aren't. Melons are softer too. So the melons went forward after being shot from the front? That may only be because the melon is very soft and the bullet passes through it without resistance. A skull on the other hand is like rock, and the autopsy physicians claimed they found only tiny splinters of the fatal bullet in the president's head. That by itself suggests explosive ammo was used which could not have been used in Oswald's rifle as a Mannlicher Carcano cannot handle such ammo. The ammo for Oswald's rifle was designed to pass through more than one body without losing much of its mass.If melons go forward after shot from the front, that proves that melons go forward after being shot from the front. Did anyone try shooting melons from the back to see which way they go? Oh, you want to argue that it does not matter because the melon is the same no matter which direction you shoot it from. Yeah, right. Except that the melon is still NOT a human head. After you have stopped laughing,just consider this: If the melons went forward that still says NOTHING about what happens to a human head if attached to a body! It seems these melons are best enjoyed with SOUR GRAPES!!

The author was one of the attending physicians at Parkland Hospital. He tells what he saw. What he saw was what came out of the limousine. Enough said. These are the only doctors that had that experience. What they saw matters - all that matters.

Als jemand, der sich schon 20 Jahre mit dem wohl berühmtesten Mordfall der Geschichte befasst, ist es immer wieder spannend, "neue" Bücher wie dieses auszugraben und zu verschlingen. Ich habe an die 20 (englische) Bücher zu dem Fall gelesen, meiner Meinung nach die wichtigsten die dieses Thema hergibt: "Plausible Denial", "Crossfire", "JFK and the Unspeakable", "Last Word", "On the Trail of the Assassins" etc.pp..Umso erstaunlicher, dass ich nach all den Jahren immer noch zu wirklich wichtigen Büchern wie diesem vorstoße. Denn was gibt es in einem Mordfall wichtigeres als Augenzeugen, die hautnah Geschichte miterlebt haben und minutiös Zeugnis über eines der größten Vertuschungsmanöver der Menschheit ablegen. In diesem Falle Charles Crenshaw, am 22.11.63 einer der Ärzte im Parkland Hospital in Dallas, die verzweifelt versuchten das Leben John F. Kennedys zu retten. Mr. Crenshaw berichtet über die 3 Tage, die sein Leben (und den Lauf der Geschichte) für immer veränderten und über die Rufmordkampagne, die kranke und feige Vertreter der großen Lüge nun schon seit 50 Jahren versuchen den letzten Ahnungslosen unterzujubeln. Denn davon gibt es immer weniger. Auch wenn die Mainstreammedienmaschinerie immer noch versucht, die Mehrzahl der Bevölkerung (in den USA um die 80%) als ein paar fehlgeleitete "Verschwörungstheoretiker" zu brandmarken. Vielleicht sollte man den Gerald Posners und Gary Macks dieser Welt zwei Fragen stellen. Erstens: Wo waren Sie am 22.11.63? Sicher nicht als Augenzeuge im Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Zweitens: Ihre eigene Regierung (die sie ja so vehement zu verteidigen trachten) ist 1979 im Abschlussbericht des von ihr eingesetzten HSCA (House Select Commitee on Assassinations) zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass auf Grund der akustischen Beweise mindestens ein Schuss von vorn (grassy knoll) kam und JFK daher Opfer einer ACHTUNG! Verschwörung wurde. DAS hat man damals immerhin als Zugeständnis den Kritikern der Warren Commission als Knochen vor die Füße geworfen, wahrscheinlich in dem Glauben, dass nun endlich Ruhe wäre. Natürlich ist man nicht soweit gegangen, die Hintergründe des Attentats näher zu beleuchten, sondern belies es bei dieser simplen Feststellung und auch Lee Harvey Oswald war dadurch noch längst nicht rehabilitiert. Aber selbst dieses Zugeständnis an den öffentlichen Druck hat ein Großteil der Mainstreammedien "vergessen" zu berichten. Und daher wird fälschlicherweise heute immer noch der Bericht der Warren Commission als letztes Wort der US-Regierung hingestellt, obwohl es nicht der Wahrheit entspricht. Seit 1979 ist JFK also auch "offiziell" einer Verschwörung zum Opfer gefallen.Warum JFK ermordet wurde, dafür sind obengenannte Bücher wärmstens zu empfehlen. Als Einblick in die medizinische Seite des Attentats ist dieses Buch hier aber umso wertvoller.

I have read a few dozen books on the subject and this one is straight from the horses' mouth. For students of the JFK murder this is a must read - at least the first half is. The latter half is just padding, contributions from others who add little to Crenshaw's perspective. Unlike most of the books on the subject which I have read, the author is literate. Worth the read!

This book I found really interesting. I have been interested in the assassination since it occured when I was thirteen. Excellent information and insights. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this subject.

excellent.
