Parkland Hospital, Inside Trauma Room One | Voices from the Oral History Collection [Video]

This is a compilation of oral histories featuring individuals on staff at Parkland Memorial Hospital the weekend of the assassination in 1963. President Kennedy was rushed to the facility on November 22, where he was later pronounced dead. Oswald too, received emergency treatment for a gunshot wound he would die from. Incidentally, it was the same hospital where Jack Ruby, the man who shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald, a murder witnessed by many on live television, later died from cancer complications on January 3, 1967.
These are the memories and first-hand accounts from the men and women inside Trauma Room One, where they attempted life-saving treatment of President Kennedy. View these oral histories and recordings of other Parkland staff in their entirety in our collection at emuseum.jfk.org.
