Well, “same position,” refers to “faceup,” and indeed, Oswald was faceup, but if this is an amendment where Ruby is no longer faceup, better change this to “faceup.”
Mr. Hubert. All right.
Dr. Bieberdorf. Okay. On page 2, the first paragraph; about the third sentence there begins, “He noticed that someone had pulled Oswald’s shirt up to his chest, and he could see a puncture wound in the left side of Oswald’s stomach just below the rib cage.”
He did have this puncture wound on his left side, but it wasn’t below his rib cage. It was—I’d like to correct that “stomach”. Just below the rib cage to the left side of his lower chest. I don’t really—I didn’t count what rib it was under, but I believe it was between the two ribs, probably down just below the fifth or sixth.
Mr. Hubert. All right, any others?
Dr. Bieberdorf. Oh; I skipped one or two. Excuse me. Back on page 1, the second paragraph on page 1, the sentence that begins near the bottom of the page, that begins: “He stated this took him several minutes due to the confusion and by the time he reached the general vicinity of the location—”. This “several minutes,” I don’t believe is accurate. I don’t recall whether I said several minutes at the time. I later—well, I think it was a matter of, say, “something like 1 to 2 minutes, rather than several minutes” and again, in the same paragraph, next to last sentence on the page that begins, “He stated he searched the immediate area for several minutes before proceeding.”
I think this, again, is way too long and had better read, “a few seconds,” than several minutes.
Mr. Hubert. Any other corrections?
Dr. Bieberdorf. On page 2, second paragraph, the third sentence which is the last sentence, “He stated the latter two,” referring to the ambulance driver and his assistant, “—ambulance driver and his assistant were riding in the front seat, and the two detectives were in a seat immediately behind the front seat, and Detective Leavelle was sitting immediately to his left in the rear of the ambulance.” The two detectives, and rather than “sitting in the seat in—immediately behind the front seat,” they were behind—just inside the tailgate of the ambulance, about Oswald’s feet, and Officer Leavelle and myself were sitting in the seat directly behind the front seat.
You earlier made the query about when I had left him. It states in here—on page 2, the last sentence of the last paragraph, “He stated 2 minutes after entering the emergency room, also known as the trauma room, Oswald was removed to the operating room.” He was removed to the operating room via an elevator, and at that point that was the point I last saw him.
