Description
The 2007 conference represents a departure from the themes of discussing the puzzling illness and/or mysterious death of an historical figure. Instead, the medical treatment of Abraham Lincoln after being shot by John Wilkes Booth is contrasted with present-day trauma care. Provided is a description of a report by Dr. Charles Leale, the first physician to attend the wounded president. In the accompanying PDF of the full text article, Dr. Scalea presents a detailed explanation of the course of treatment that would be provided in a modern trauma center. It is Dr. Scalea’s opinion that had Lincoln had access to such a facility he may well have survived the injury to his brain. An historical perspective authored by Steven Lee Carson as well as a comment by Dr. Philip A. Mackowiak appear at the end of the article.
