Mr. Specter. Could you supply in lay language what cyanotic means?
Dr. Perry. Blue from lack of oxygen.
Mr. Specter. Could you explain in lay language the midaxillary line?
Dr. Perry. It is about the mid portion of the fold extending down from the armpit on the left. This is just rough because I glanced at that briefly and determined the nature of the path of the bullet and from looking at him it was obvious that this had traversed major structures in his body in order to reach that particular place, so while a cutdown was being done again to administer fluid, I asked someone to put in a left chest tube on him because it appeared it went in and I recalled surgery until they were bringing him directly up.
Dr. Tom Shires, Chief of the Surgical Services, came into the door at a point and Dr. McClelland, and we left and went to surgery to change clothes and they brought him from there immediately to surgery and we proceeded with the operation.
Mr. Specter. Who was present, if anyone, with Mr. Oswald at the time you arrived there?
Dr. Perry. In the emergency room?
Mr. Specter. Yes.
Dr. Perry. Dr. Jenkins was there, Dr. M. T. Jenkins, Chief of Anesthesiology.
I think Dr. Giesecke was also there again, although I am not sure of that. I saw Dr. Risk who is a resident in urology and I saw Dr. Dulany who is a resident in surgery. Dr. Boland, I believe who is a resident in thoracic surgery and, of course, Dr. Jones and myself, and there were several other people, the nurses, I don't recall.
