The Shot That Shouldn't Have Killed a President - Doctors Did

A presidential wound that doctors called survivable nonetheless produced death after seventy-nine days - and the bullet never struck the spinal cord. This episode tells how a $14 .442 Webley British Bulldog, a wood grip chosen because ivory cost one dollar more, and a series of medical choices turned a single shot into one of the most documented medical catastrophes in American history. How did the physicians' responses change the outcome that seemed obvious in the first hours?
In this episode, we follow the events from the purchase of the revolver through the shooting at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station and the medical care that followed, tracing how decisions by those around James Abram Garfield shaped the final result. What do the details of the wound, the assassin, and the medical response reveal about why Garfield died?
