Mr. Specter. Did you remain in the trauma room No. 1?
Dr. Curtis. I did until he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Specter. What action was taken by anyone else in the trauma room while you were there?
Dr. Curtis. My attention was focused on what I was doing, so I wasn't aware—I knew that a cutdown was being performed and that is about all I could see. I mean, I knew that a tracheotomy was being performed.
Mr. Specter. What other doctors were present there at that time?
Dr. Curtis. I know that Dr. Perry was there and I know Dr. Baxter was there, and then I recall Dr. Jenkins from the Anesthesia Department, and Dr. Seldin, Dr. Crenshaw, and that's about all the doctors—I could think of others probably, but I can't remember now.
Mr. Specter. Can you identify any other nurses who were there?
Dr. Curtis. No; I can't—I wasn't paying attention to the nurses.
Mr. Specter. During the course of your presence near President Kennedy, did you have any opportunity to observe any wounds on his body?
Dr. Curtis. After I had completed the cutdown, I went around to the right side of the patient and saw the head wound.
