Lincoln's 1865 Autopsy Report and Death Certificate

[Gene C]

I agree with Dr. Houmes.
I also remember reading in '20 Days" where they had a photo of a skull that had undergone a similar gunshot wound. The skull was badly damaged, and they commented that Lincoln's head may have sustained similar damage.

While I'm not an doctor, but I did watch a lot of episodes of Doogie Howser

Dr. Houmes, thank you so much for sharing all your thoughts and expert opinions and information. As an emergency physician I am sure you have seen too many of these wounds. Gene, that photo you mentioned fascinated my 8th graders. As I've mentioned before, Twenty Days is the only book I ever used in the classroom that ex-students came back to my classroom to see again.
