Mr. Specter. Will you now, Doctor, describe the location of the wound of exit on the Governor's chest, please?
Dr. Shaw. Yes. The wound of exit was beneath and medial to the nipple. Here was this V that I was indicating. It is almost opposite that. At the time of the wound there was a ragged oval hole here at least 5 centimeters in diameter, but the skin edges were excised, and here again this scar does not look quite as nice as it does during the more lateral portion of the surgically induced incision, because this skin was brought together under a little tension, and there is a little separation there.
Mr. Specter. Will you describe the entire scar there, Doctor, for the record, please?
Dr. Shaw. Yes. The entire surgical incision runs from the anterior portion of the chest just lateral to the, we call it, the condral arch, the V formed by the condral arch, and then extends laterally below the nipple, running up, curving up, into the posterior axillary portion or the posterior lateral wall of the chest.
Mr. Specter. What is the total length of the scar, Doctor?
Dr. Shaw. Twenty centimeters, about.
Mr. Dulles. Where was the center of the bullet wound itself in that scar about?
Dr. Shaw. Here.
Mr. Dulles. There?
Dr. Shaw. Yes. All of the rest of this incision was necessary to gain access to the depths of the wound for the debridement, for removing all of the destroyed tissue because of the passage of the bullet.
