Dr. Peters. I went to college at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., and received an A.B. degree from Indiana University in 1950, and received an M.D. degree from Indiana University in 1953. I took my internship at the Philadelphia General Hospital, 1953 and 1954. I took my residency in Urological Surgery at Indiana University from 1954 to 1957, and from 1957 to 1963 I was chief of Urology at U.S.A.F. Hospital, Carswell, which is the largest hospital in SAC, and I was regional consultant to the surgeon general in Urological surgery. Since July 1963, I have been assistant professor of Urology at Southwestern Medical School.
Mr. Specter. And are you board certified, Dr. Peters?
Dr. Peters. I am certified by the American Board of Urology—1960.
Mr. Specter. Did you have occasion to render medical services to President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963?
Dr. Peters. Yes.
Mr. Specter. And would you outline briefly the circumstances relating to your arriving on the scene where he was?
Dr. Peters. As I just gave you a while ago?
Mr. Specter. Yes.
Dr. Peters. I was in the adjacent portion of the hospital preparing material for a lecture to the medical students and residents later in the day, when I heard over the radio that the President had been shot and there was a great deal of confusion at the time and the extent of his injuries was not immediately broadcast over the radio, and I thought, because of the description of the location of the tragedy he would probably be brought to Parkland for care, and so I went to the emergency room to see if I could render assistance.
Mr. Specter. And at about what time did you arrive at the emergency room?
