Not a word about JFK doctors saying there was a front entrance wound, and a massive rear head wound
[edit]Currently there is not a word about JFK Parkland doctors saying there was a front entrance wound, and a massive rear head wound.
I haven't discussed this interview here before. And I don't see this interview mentioned in the talk archives.
There is an interview from 2015 with Dr. Robert N. McClelland where he says that he saw a massive head wound in the back of Kennedy's head. And that the other doctors saw it too. He said that he saw a front entrance wound.
I previously discussed the 2023 documentary about 7 doctors who were there, and they all believed there was an entrance wound from the front, meaning that more than one shooter was required. This Google search pulls up the documentary and many reliable sources that reviewed it:
- Google search: Seven JFK Parkland Hospital ER doctors (see documentary).
- Previous discussion: Talk:John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories/Archive 6#Parkland doctors say neck wound was an entrance wound. Meaning more than one shooter.
I mention it now because the documentary and the McClelland interview are saying the same thing. And so it further merits being in the article. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:41, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Without some newly discovered, reliable, secondary source, I don't think it will be productive to rehash the same discussion. There was also the one at Talk:Assassination of John F. Kennedy/Archive 18#Parkland doctors say neck wound was an entrance wound. Meaning more than one shooter. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:38, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- There were many reliable secondary sources in the previous discussion. There are more now about the massive rear head wound (not a massive top of the head wound), and a front entrance wound.
- The above-linked video is a primary source. But it is an interview. According to the essay, Wikipedia:Interviews. and its source guidelines, an interviewee's responses are primary, non-independent, and authoritative for the interviewee's personal experiences, preferences, viewpoints, etc..
- There is a different 2015 interview with McClelland here in front of a crowd at the Allen Public Library in Allen, Texas:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySO0pLcN5ww - discusses a massive rear head wound, not a massive top of the head wound.
- Many of the reviews of the documentary show parts of the interviews with the 7 doctors. So they are secondary sources with primary sources. You can find some of them by scrolling down the results of this Youtube search:
- https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=interviews+with+jfk+parkland+doctors
- Reviews from reliable sources such as Channel 5 (British TV channel), CBS Evening News, CBS Mornings, CBS News, etc.. Many of the previously discussed reviews from reliable news sources had video clips too. All of them comment on the documentary and the video clips. That makes them secondary sources, too.
- Here is an 2013 interview of McClelland by the chief editor (Rod J. Rohrich, MD) of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q1lYifmUXA
- He describes a massive rear head wound (not a massive top of the head wound), at 6 minutes into the video. There is even a diagram. The video is also hosted on their website:

- The videos are part of a special topic:

- 20/20 (American TV program) did a 1992 report. Dr. Charles A. Crenshaw, one of the ER doctors, saw a massive rear head wound, (not a massive top of the head wound), and a front entrance wound. See:

- I think we need a request for comment. I have provided a plethora of primary and secondary sources for the fact that the JFK Parkland doctors saw a massive rear head wound (not a massive top of the head wound), and a front entrance wound too.
