Mr. Specter. Have you now described all the treatment which was given to the President as best you recollect it?
Dr. Carrico. As I recall; yes, sir; that's all—I'm sorry.
Mr. Specter. Did you have any occasion or opportunity to examine the President's clothing?
Dr. Carrico. We did not do that.
Mr. Specter. And was no examination of clothing made, Dr. Carrico?
Dr. Carrico. Again, this was a matter of time. The clothes were removed by the nurses, as is the usual practice, and the full attention was devoted to trying to resuscitate the President.
Mr. Specter. On the examination of the President's back which you described that you performed, did you note any bleeding from the back?
Dr. Carrico. There was considerable blood on the cart and on his back. I could not tell if this came from his back or had fallen down from the head injury. There was also some cerebral tissue there.
Mr. Specter. What did your examination by feeling disclose with respect to whether he had any back wound?
Dr. Carrico. I did not feel any. Now, this certainly wouldn't detect a small bullet entrance. All this examination is designed to do is to establish the fact that there is no gross injury to the chest posteriorly.
