Mr. Specter. Spell, please.
Mrs. Nelson. B-a-s-h-o-u-r (spelling), chairman of the Department of Cardiology, and several other doctors who I cannot recall all the names at the present time.
Mr. Specter. Were you present inside of the emergency room where President Kennedy was taken?
Mrs. Nelson. When what?
Mr. Specter. Were you in there at the time they were treating him, caring for him at any time?
Mrs. Nelson. On one occasion I went into the room and this was mainly to ask Mrs. Kennedy if she had rather wait out in the hallway rather than in the room where they were treating the President, and I was told by the Secret Service agent that she may stay in there if she wished.
Mr. Specter. Is there any table, or was there any table in the emergency room to which President Kennedy was taken that he could be placed on from the stretcher?
Mrs. Nelson. No.
Mr. Specter. Is it the normal situation to have no table present in the emergency room?
Mrs. Nelson. The only one there is in case an ambulance should bring a patient in, but if a patient comes in the emergency room on a stretcher, then the stretcher that is in there is removed. Then the patient remains on the same stretcher that he comes into the emergency room on.
