Lincoln's 1865 Autopsy Report and Death Certificate

[Anita]

Thanks to Susan and all who posted links to source documents and information on Lincoln's autopsy reports. I found the article by Dr. Houmes especially helpful. "A Doctor's View of the Lincoln Assasination" http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/linc...edical.htm
(Thanks for the link Laurie.) Dr. Houmes answers the question "Which bullet path do you think is the most accurate?"

I am confused by a statement at the end of Dr. Lattimer's report where he states there was great confusion on the part of the doctors as to why the bullet hole was on the left side of Lincoln's head when Booth approached Lincoln from Lincoln's right side.

I thought Booth approached from Lincoln's left side.
