RE: Atlantic article on Lincoln's survival
I saw a gunshot wound once in which both sides of the brain were damaged and the Doctor told me if the man wasn't dying of cancer, he'd have made a full recovery. His weak condition allowed pneumonia to set in. But that was a small caliber round and it fragmented into very small pieces. I'm wondering if Lincoln's wound was concentrated to one side or maybe if it wasn't so deep, if the Doctor's unsanitary methods would have killed him.
