Dr. Gregory. I am certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery; yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. And what year were you so certified?
Dr. Gregory. In 1953. I am now a member of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, as a matter of fact.
Mr. Specter. Dr. Gregory, what experience, if any, have you had in the treatment of gunshot wounds?
Dr. Gregory. My experience with the treatment of gunshot wounds began with my training in orthopedic surgery, but its greatest impetus occurred in 1953 and 1954 in the Korean theatre of operations with the U.S. Navy. Since that time here at the Parkland Hospital in Dallas our service has attended a considerable number of such injuries, plus my experience is continuing.
Mr. Specter. Could you approximate the total number of gunshot wounds you have had experience with?
Dr. Gregory. I have had personal experience with, I suppose, in approximately 500 such missile wounds.
Mr. Specter. Dr. Gregory, back on November 22, 1963, did you have occasion to treat Governor Connally?
Dr. Gregory. I did.
Mr. Specter. Will you relate briefly the circumstances surrounding your call to treat the Governor?
