Now based on those facts was the appearance of the wound in your opinion consistent with being an exit wound?
Dr. Carrico. It certainly was. It could have been under the circumstances.
Mr. Specter. And assuming that all the facts which I have given you to be true, do you have an opinion with a reasonable degree of medical certainty as to whether, in fact, the wound was an entrance wound or an exit wound?
Dr. Carrico. With those facts and the fact as I understand it no other bullet was found this would be, this was, I believe, was an exit wound.
Mr. Specter. Were any bullets found in the President's body by the doctors at Parkland?
Dr. Carrico. No, sir.
Mr. Specter. Was the President's clothing ever examined by you, Dr. Carrico?
Dr. Carrico. No, sir; it was not.
Mr. Specter. What was the reason for no examination of the clothing?
Dr. Carrico. Again in the emergency situation the nurses removed the clothing after we had initially unbuttoned enough to get a look at him, at his chest, and as the routine is set up, the nurses remove the clothing and we just don't take time to look at it.
