Mr. Specter. Will you outline briefly your educational background, please?
Dr. Hunt. I graduated from medical school at Tulane College of Medicine in 1949. I had a year of rotating internship followed by a year of pediatric residency. In 1961 I started a residency in anesthesiology, which I completed in 1963, and I am now a fellow in anesthesiology.
Mr. Specter. Are you board certified, then, Dr. Hunt, at this time?
Dr. Hunt. No.
Mr. Specter. Are you working toward board certification?
Dr. Hunt. Yes, I am. I am eligible and will take the first part in June.
Mr. Specter. Did you have occasion on November 22 to render medical aid to the late President Kennedy?
Dr. Hunt. Yes.
Mr. Specter. Will you relate briefly the circumstances surrounding your being called into the case?
Dr. Hunt. I was in Parkland Hospital on duty with the anesthesiology department and was notified by our chief of staff, Dr. M. T. Jenkins, that the President had been shot. Together with Dr. Giesecke and Dr. Akin, I got an anesthesia machine and put it on an elevator and checked it out and set it up on the way to the emergency room and took it into the emergency room where the President was and he had been intubated, and I helped Dr. Jenkins connect the anesthesia machine to the endotracheal tube which at that time was being run, I believe, by a Bird machine, and after making certain that the connections were properly done, I placed the equipment in Dr. Jenkins' hands.
