I just learned "Doctor Mac" passed away two weeks ago at the age of almost 90. His greatest accomplishment was not his role in the JFK assassination, but the scores of medical students he trained over the years. There are so many physicians and surgeons today that owe their shingles to this humble man. Rest in peace, doctor.
A great surgeon and a good man .
THEY KILLED YOUR WW2 HERO, COMMANDER AND CHIEFS BODY,BUT ONLY YOU CAN KILL HIS MISSION ,NEVER REST IN PEACE JFK OR TRUE YANKS , UNTIL HIS MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED,
Dave Mitchell Amen
Appears the good Lord provided a good man, with a good life. Thank you Doctor for speaking the truth. RIP
❤️
He has had the most consistent recollection of everyone involved, you can watch 10 interviews, not a detail changes.
My mom was a operating room nurse and she worked with Dr. Mac and she said, he was a wonderful doctor to work with. My husband and I are both operating room nurses at Parkland Hospital.
My Mother wrote Mrs. Kennedy a letter of condolence. I have no doubt that along with my Mom, many Americans were shocked to receive a hand written thank you from the First Lady.
Ms. Kennedy most likely received great therapy and comfort in writing these letters, but it is amazing she responded to all of them---must have taken her weeks.
Incredible

I was there that night & had the pleasure of meeting Dr. McClelland after the presentation ended. Perhaps 2 dozen people waited in line to meet him. He was absolutely gracious & easy to talk to. I was also surprised with how strong his handshake was; he was 86 at the time. God bless this great man.
Who was this horrible intervier? No eye contact.
@John Cowie 80
John Cowie, Can I buy some pot from you? 🏳️🌈
yes the handshake
Unlike a great many others Dr. Robert McClelland stood true to his oath.
I’m retired now (👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼) but I was an ER/TRAUMA RN almost 40 years. When Dr. Mac talked about noticing “the large crowd” gathering about the ER, it almost gave me chills.....because I so remember thinking “this isn’t going to be good” and steeling myself for my Trauma Pager I carried on the waistline of my scrubs, to go off. I was one of those nurses known as a “S _ _ T 💩 MAGNET”, because when I was working the Trauma Bay, it Promised to be a grueling night from 7 pm - 7 am.
I’ve always respected the HONEST, MEDICAL FACTS about Dr. Mac’s treatment of President John F. Kennedy’s wounds.
I saw on one of the comments here, that Dr. Mac has passed.....rest easy, dear Colleague. Job Well Done. 🕊💕🙏💜✝️✡️🌹
Thank you for your service! I cannot imagine what ER staff sees - and it must be horrifying to be in the spot Dr. Mac was in that day. When you are doing everything medically you can and deep down you know it's futile and this person who you are trained to save will die regardless of what you do. Must be even more horrifying to have to talk to families because they put the trust and faith in ER staff but for some patients medical science cannot save. Enjoy retirement - you earned it!
I am a retired ER nurse. Dr Mc was mistaken about the ABCs of life support. He said Airway, Bleeding, Coagulation. It is Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Perhaps it was different in 1963, but Coagulation has nothing to do with examination and treatment of a patient in a life-threatening emergency.
His opinion of entry wound from the front is because they never rolled the President over to see the entrance wound on his back, which caused the exit wound on his neck. Plus, a head shot from grassy knoll on the right of the limo would have blown out the left side of his head. It probably would have hit Jackie too.
Yes, the immediate observations of JFK by the ER doctors is important. But doctors can be wrong. They are not perfect. Sometimes they miss things. Most of us have experienced the mistakes of doctors in our lifetimes with our own doctors or family members’ doctors.
I don’t fault the ER at Parkland for not rolling the President over. They were fighting to save his life.
Autopsies determine cause of death, not ER doctors. Autopsies insert a probe into gunshot wounds to identify the trajectory of the bullet, and entrance and exit. JFK’s autopsy should have been done in Dallas by their coroner who was extremely experienced with gunshots, not the inexperienced pathologists at Bethesda.

And Jackie's
I was just getting ready to comment on why the interviewer wouldn't look at the doctor! Thanks for the LOL moment. Was this an interview or an interrogation?
I think the interviewer asked the dr if his outfit was to tight and the dr said yes it is. Pissed off the interviewer.
As far as I can tell, Dr McClelland has never changed his story. Good for you Doc. Good for you. This man definitely has my respect. Thank you. Mike Pardue
He did indeed admit, to Vincent Bugliosi, via telephone interview, that he could have been somewhat mistaken about the large wound he saw, being in the back of JFKs head...he told Bugliosi that the wound could have been located more forward, in the area above JFKs ear...but he still thought it was mostly towards the back. The thing is, the autopsy info, including photos and x-rays, do not support his statements. The head of the president was situated laying fully back on the gurney--the Doc could not have had a look at the back of the head...what he saw was blood and gore, dripping back towards the table...the photos show this ugly reality...it was the natural effect of gravity, draining the large wound that in actuality was located above JFK's ear, and extending towards the temple area...a nearly 3x5inch, gaping wound, showing that some of the brain had been blasted out by the exiting bullet, that had indeed hit the upper right back of the head, making a typical small entrance wound. The Z film fools the human eye...but modern computer imaging shows that JFKs head actually moved nearly 3 inches forward from the impact of the bullet, before a neuromuscular reaction jerked his head backwards around 9 inches or so...he then slumps towards his wifes lap...you can see, for just a few frames, where the large exit wound was located...and the car was moving, as the debris from his head wound flew up in the air,mostly forwards, but also raining downwards towards the back of the limo. Jackie, in shock, was trying to grab a piece of her husband's head, when the SS agent pushed her back into the seat....over the next couple of decades, dozens of doctors, specialists, etc confirmed what the evidence actually showed....No way could dozens of qualified experts be lying!...Dr. McClellan was a fine doctor, but mistaken about his impressions that day...and the other doctors were also, as he said, not even concerned about appraising how the President was shot--they were just trying to save his life.
@rebeccapardue8438 He changed his story. No other doctor present in the ER that day corroborates McClelland's latter-day, counter-factual version of events.
@stddisclaimer8020 Do you mean "counter Warren Commission report" version of events??
R.I.P Dr. Mac!! Certainly the most amazing physician!! Thank you for your incredible caring, honesty and certainly one of the best physicians ever in Parkland.!!🙏😇♥️🙌
he better 60 years ago..so,little to late to make investigations...
Unfortunately, the interviewer isn't maintaining eye contact with Dr. McClelland. This physician is very remarkable. God bless him. May he rest in peace.
The interviewer doesn't show any facial movement or emotion. He really doesn't do a good job of interviewing.
At first glimpse, I thought that the interviewer was blind.
Interviewer is rudely refusing to loook at this great doctor as he speaks. We are grateful that the doctor continues to be professional and compassionate.
The interviewer was mediocre!
also wondered about that. His hand is also very clenched holding the paper.
Why in the world was that interviewer not making eye contact with Dr. Mac? He deserved respect!
Excellent presentation from Dr. McClelland. No wild speculations, just clear facts and opinions.
And unchanged over 50 years
Interviewing someone and not looking at him??? I never in my entire life saw something so weird. There probably was a reason for his unique posture. What a pity, treating Dr. McClelland, a historical figure, in such a disrespectful manner. Although he is an older man, his wit is admirable and his answers are very clear. I can`t even start to imagine what that event did to his psyche in 1963. Losing a patient is horrible enough. Losing the President as a young doctor ... unimaginable!
I see now that I was too quick. He said that the event didn`t change him. Well, that surprises me very much. Tuff character... TFS
I thought it was weird too that the interviewer barely looked at Dr. MacClelland. He obviously is not a professional.
@@gns423 Perhaps he's reading prompts on auto cue.
"Lose a patient"?
ha yeah that seemed very strange. kinda reminds me of Chris Farley skit doing interviews with celebrities and he's super nervous
Who allowed this “interviewer” to ruin a very interesting and intelligent doctor’s testimonial of the JFK assassination on stage.
Yes -- what a wasted opportunity -- could have been so much better.
Michael McDonagh I understand and agree this interviewer didn't belong there to speak with such a distinguished gentleman. Dr did a terrific job in his description of what happened and how he cared for our dear President. God bless this dedicated physician
Bizarre that this interviewer, in his unprofessional demeanor and line of questioning has the privilege of asking such a dignified and experienced doctor such questions.
Least we forget that Dr McClelland was in his mid to late 80's so he needed a bit of help now & then but yes, the guy doing the interview did suck at it......
A great doctor. Poor interviewer.
Clueless and disengaged
What a disrespectful interviewer.
The man might understand you if you look at him when you talk to him. Who gives an interview while looking str8 ahead away from the subject.
What a horrible horrible thing Jackie went through! She lost two children before that, and then this. 😢
Then she lost her keys. 🏳️🌈
Bobby Grey --- GROW UP.
And being married to a Kennedy
Jackie didn't loose two children, and JFK Jr is still living
@@nicalemay5671 Jackie gave birth to a stillborn girl, Arabella, in 1956, and in 1963 Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born, but passed away 39 hours later.
JFK Jnr died in 1999.
There is a good man, there are so few,
Robert McClelland, surgeon who tried to save JFK and believed there was a second shooter, dies at 89 Sept 16, 2019 They were not going to let Jack leave Dallas alive, they already had their plans ready to go, my Dad bless his soul, he knew Johnson was behind right away.
I still grieve
TRUE! Read the book, " The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The case against LBJ". Explains it all, BEST book I've read about it, & I've read a lot of them!
YEP
EXACTLY JOHNSON WAS THERE RIGHT AWAY?????? DOES THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING
Johnson ducked before his Secret Service man even reacted. That's what Senator Yarbrough stated. They leaned on him repeatedly until he changed his statement.
I thought Johnson was behind Kennedy’s killing
So strange watching that robot interviewer, no manners NOT to look the man in the eyes.....the old gentleman doctor deserved some respect for telling the truth....
Catherine O'Connell absolutely agree no compassion maybe the shirt was too small round his neck. RIP JFK
He's just concentrating on the interview. Being on stage is not as easy as it looks if you're not used to it.
I agree
Stephen Burns i agree 100% the good Doctor made eye contact throughout the interview and this guy is just staring out into space, and how about the manner in which he asks his questions
THEY KILLED YOUR COMMANDER AND CHIEF AND STILL ARE IN CONTROL> and you concern over a bloke just doing the best he could as a interviewer(ever thought he was nervous,) if you are Blind or just close your Eyes you will 'HEAR' he is really ok as a interviewer .
Dr Robert McClelland is one of the best docs ever!
Thank you sharing those precious moments of history especially Mrs. Kennedy reactions.R.I.P Dr.Mac.
The only person who never LIED...RIP TO HIM HES DEFINITELY IN HEAVEN
There were plenty of people who didn't lie, alot of them met with an early death.
@@alwayslernin4400 That ol' wives tale has been repeatedly disproven.
I don't think he lied. He was just profoundly mistaken. His account has been discredited on so many levels including that of common sense.
@@kenb3552 old wives tale? I suppose the assassination is just an old wives tale to you also. Things are not "debunked" just because you want them to be.
@@alwayslernin4400 Not quite. Just Google it and you will see that this idea that a bunch of assassination witness died suddenly and unexpectedly has been PROVEN false. They list all the people who had died within so many years - explained each one of them and gave a statistical analysis showing how the death rate among this pool was no different than the average death rate. Go ahead and look - actually LEARN something.
Very weird. The interviewer never makes eye contact. Extremely odd and uncomfortable.
autistic - the real thing not the cop out diagnosis they give to any spoiled, under performing child that they can't discipline.
What I learned recently is that the president was wearing a very high, tight corset because of his injured back and when he leaned forward after the first shot, he was restrained from going further to the floor. Because of that, the second bullet from the side was able to hit him squarely in the head, exploding it. If he didn't wear the corset, he could have been to low enough not to receive that second bullet. I knew back in the 1960s when I was teenager that there were two gunmen.
I was 7 years old from Mass.in a school built in 1889. what history that place has seen. it still stands as condos, even on the roof top there are now lofts. anyway, my Mum of all folks, when Oswald was shot on our TV, said, "someone wants him permanently quiet". so, I too had reason to be suspicious. cynical parents.
Watch from 6:50...
He gets hit, grabs his head, she leans over, grabs the gun under the seat and shoots him again, the people in the car scream, look how the blood splatters.. she grabbed his skull and held on to it until he was declared dead then she gave it to the doctor...
When she signed the vice president into the presidency, quickly, she was covered in his blood but look at her face...
He was cheating, constantly and with a Russian spy... she had just lost her baby, and her father was a Jesuit Priest..at the Vatican...

The entire event has always 'stank to high heaven' for me.
@@Justanotherfuckingobserver bullocks.
you didnt know, you surmised
Who the hell was this interviewer ? Very detached from the Dr .Like he wanted to be somewhere else .The Dr was a fine gentleman , God Bless him..
autistic
All skeptics of a second shooter and Warren Commission advocates need to watch and listen from 12:50 to 15:10.
Honest question:
So what's next? I'm assuming every presidential administration since the assassination has seen the detailed photos and physical evidence. Will the Warren commission ever be openly challenged?
@@michaeltrevino201 Thank you for your question. The Warren Commission has not been officially renounced, but JFK assassination researchers and WC critics such as Mark Lane, Jim Garrison, Harold Weisberg, and Gerald McKnight have basically discredited the Warren Commission Report. Here’s a link to an excellent presentation by Harold Weisberg: th-cam.com/video/p_vgMJD23zo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=OurHiddenHistory
There are people who are still passionate about seeing whatever justice is still attainable in the JFK assassination. However, most of us are not in a position to move the government to action, but we can continue to educate ourselves, promote the truth, squash the falsehoods and inform each other.
All believers in a 2nd shooter need to read a real comprehensive book, "Reclaiming History", to understand what really happened. Facts will change your mind.
Dr Mac is living history and this interviewer can’t even be bothered to meet his eyes ; he’s staring out into space like he doesn’t know where the heck he is! 🤯😡 Very, very disrespectful.
That interview er is aweful
The interviewer almost looks as if he is blind
autistic savant
The key detail Dr. McClelland describes is the massive wound in the back of the head. This cannot be an entrance wound, and therefore the shot that caused that wound had to come from the front.
Seen the autopsy pic?
@@ErinNorthcuttEvans the fakes?
I agree. Forget the documents. Anyone can see the impact of the shot. Bullets go in small and come out big. I never understood how governmental experts can tell anyone different. This doctor seems to explain it perfectly. This just shows how some people will believe what is told instead of believing what is in front of them.
@@sheilacamp5089 The Zapruda film shows a forward blast out the front of Kennedy's head followed by a reflex movement backwards in response. Why did his brains blow out the front if the shot was from the front?
To me on the film it looks like a shot from the front. I just started a deep dive into this. Right now I believe either conspiracy could be what happened. The other doctors have changed their stories.
II's amazing to learn that the limo the President was seated in when he was shot was never retired but instead was used by LBJ and Nixon in subsequent years. Imagine the medical forensic evidence the limo could have provided by todays standards which wasn't available back then. The fact the car was cleaned up and reused is amazing enough as it is.
Stop lying. It was never re-used. It was taken back to Detroit the next day and dismantled.
@@cjay2 Honest One is not lying. Yes, it was taken back to Ford in Detroit, but it was fully refitted by Hess and Eisenhardt in Cincinnati, Ohio and put back into service. Any forensic evidence was completely obliterated. You can thank LBJ for this. The car is on display at the Henry Ford Museum near Detroit, and you can tell just by looking at photos of it that it's configuration has been completely changed.
@@Dogheadj it was being cleaned with soap and water in the parking lot at Parkland Hospital. The reason given? So no photographer could take photos of the inside. The real reason? It was obvious.
It was cleaned in the Parkland parking lot obviously to destroy evidence. It was reused until President Ford refused to ride in it.
THE WINDSHIELD WITH BULLET HOLES WAS DESTROYED THE FOLLOWING MONDAY IN CHICAGO. TRUE
This interview will not be in the interview hall of fame.
No one can live with a wound like Kennedy had ..
Hello I have been looking at many videos about JFK's assassination. I trust this DR. So many different stories about the bullets. Where he was shot. Magic bullets and so on.
Correct - even if the wounds he had were inflicted today in a hospital ER with a team of doctors prepped and ready to operate immediately with today's medical science, there is still an almost certainty that he'd die. Dr. Mac, Perry and team at Parkland had no chance.
I could have done a better interview. At least I would have looked at Dr. McClelland from time to time...
Jackie Kennedy- Onasis was the epitome of composure & self containment. Had I been in such a dreadful situation I would have been running from one end of the corridor screaming swearing & ripping out every hair on my head or VERY HEAVILY SEDATED.
Only six years old when this happened I remember clearly where I was and that something very important in the World had happened. The adults around me were talking of all the possible outcomes. The possibility of a WW111 occurring featured prominently in their conversations. ""This time it will be Nuclear".
Even though a small boy living at the Ass end of the planet I knew that was not something I would ever forget. It is in my long term memory as clear as if it had happened only last week.
Very grateful for this video.
Interviewer nearly makes this unwatchable.
Rest in Peace Dr. "Mac".........No question that the fatal shot came from the front.....
This poor doctor having to be interviewed by such an AWFUL interviewer. This should have been stopped and anyone in the audience could have replaced him. What a shame!
The good thing is this Doctor went against the narrative and told everyone where the most damage to the presidents head was... People need to watch the actual interview that was tacked on the beginning of this one & download it if you can because between Dr McClelland and the interview with Dr James Jenkins, (which you should also download), the Pathologist who was present for Kennedy's Autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, they're about the only two men left that have told the truth, which supports the head shot coming from the front, blowing the rear of President Kennedy head apart.
@@montydaniels1054 So many of the medical staff from Parkland are deceased . Trying to get to the truth 60 years later isn't a easy task . It looks like once LHO was dead the Dallas investigation stopped .
@@larrysproul9424 Yep Larry, I started downloading a lot of older ''Film'' interviews with the Parkland Memorial Staff from the 1980s & 90s, then some all the way through 2017-2019...
I also downloaded interviews with some of the Bethesda Staff that remember seeing a large gaping hole at the rear of the president's head...
I know that one day most, if not, all of these old interviews will probably be gone. At least I have a couple dozen backed up on my laptops....
he's autistic
Dr McClelland explains it so well.
Some earlier interviews with Dr. McClelland are much better as he is younger and his explanation is much more clear.
One can only have immense admiration for this dear man.
The last 2 shots were very close together, closer than the time a single bolt action rifle can be reloaded and re-aimed.
That's a great point that shows conspiracy and doesn't have anything to do with how many shots and how many shooters, which is impossible to know...
Not true that is a myth.
@@vernpascal1531 Different people described the shots differently that is very misleading.You have to go by the autopsy and bullets discovered matched back to Oswalds Carcano.Funny thing is Mccleland based his theory on Kennedy being shot from the front on seeing the Z film on Geraldo in 1975 but when interviewed by the WC in 1964 when they asked him what direction the head shot came from he said it would be impossible to say,and when he traveled to the natiinal archives in 1988 from a request of a nova tv special and viewed the autopsy photos and xrays he said they matched what he had seen and the tracheotomy observed exactly the same as he observed.So he is admitting he is wrong about the position on the back of the head without saying so and the celleberum was not injured only depressed as other drs admitted.in fact Dr Boswell said the celleberum reference was wrong and told why.
He is mistaken about the celleberum that has been proven he mistook it for celleberum.One of the drs admitted that in the 1988 tv soecial.
Any shot from the picket fence would have exited out the left side of the brain but it was intact The autopsy surgeons have proven the head shot was a exit wound by the beveling and xrays of the skull
This Dr is amazing 😉 love 💕 his explanation of that fateful moment in time.
Show the doctor some damn respect, look him in his eyes when your speaking to him, worst interviewer I’ve ever seen!
I agree, it looks stupid but maybe he’s blind.
Yep, there's one in every crowd
It was all a coverup but nothing this country would do surprises me.
That's why I moved to Ireland! 🏳️🌈
Suuuuuper interesting. Thanks for posting this!
The kill shot came from the front and blew out the back. The pink blob on the side was PAINTED onto the Zapruder film by a Kodak employee.
Oddly, as a 65 year old, this fine fellow was known to me and others my age for a long, long time.
Yeah, this interviewer is pretty awful. Can you imagine being given the opportunity to interview this amazing physician and historian? And his memory is as sharp as a tack. What details. I hope interviews are being done by other people who could try to at least feign interest. It’s disgraceful to treat a man of such prominence this way.
What a great and honorable doctor McClelland is. He so adorable. I'm pretty sure he knows the interviewer is fifty cent short of a dollar. How in the world did he bet to be interviewer anyway? Oh well he don't matter the doctor is and he is few and far between that has told the truth like it is.
The doctor's summary is a huge part of history and I have no reason to believe he is lying.
It's been many years since this has happened to president Kennedy, but it's still to me anyway like it was yesterday, I remember sitting on the floor next to my mom, and she and my dad were watching the news, my mom let out a scream I'll never forget, it's emblazoned in my mind forever. It's still very Sad until this day and forever more.😔
The day the monster came out of hiding.
The voice of history
Interviewer acts as if he once had a head injury similar to Kennedy's and survived.
MarshallBennett64 Maybe he’s on the Autism spectrum. Or has stage fright?
@@Caperhere I was thinking the same... possible autism. I think its appropriate to let the audience know if a person has a medical issue or other otherwise odd behavior, so we can disregard the odd behavior. Otherwise the audience is distracted with concern about the odd behavior.
Just as the comments indicate.
@@jmitterii2 The dude was just not a good person to interview anyone. Besides that it was a discussion about JFK's wounds. He was obviously nervous.
HaHaHa
As an Aspie who is raising two Aspies...I don’t believe that ASD is an issue here....he’s just a terrible interviewer.
Yes the interviewer does a poor job of eye contact at the beginning but dont let it distract you too much it all gets better after 10 mins. Just assume both men know each other very well and it all feels less akward
34:01 - This may be the most important part of the interview. He describes the shape, size, and location of the wound in the back of JFK's head and gives an indication of the amount of brain matter that had been blown out through the hole.
And the autopsy photo show a tiny hole… that was faked.
My husband committed suicide. I saw the entrance wound, which was the size of a quarter on his right temple. It reminded me of a concrete burn. When I walked closer I saw where the exit wound had taken part of the left side of his head off. Of course, his head rested to his left from the impact. I have always wondered even though I was young when the President was shot, and to me it was obvious he was shot from the side/front. I have been around guns my whole life and have been with my nephews that have shot several different guns and all shots have always reacted the same.
So why did he perform a tracheotomy on a man missing a large part of his brain?
It's a no brainer, pun intended. "63" was a hope, and a dream, to a more bright, and peaceful future.
@@psmith9789 to keep him alive long enough for the last rites
How does the interviewer stay in great shape like that? Cant get that right sock pulled up with that roll of lard in the way.
I don't think ANYONE will ever know the truth. I was in my freshman year of high school and 14 years old. Will NEVER forget that day or the week after with the funeral! What a sad and traumatic Thanksgiving it was that year. I remember as my family gathered, we were all huddled on the same side of the table.
Why was it so traumatic? Was it just not something conceived of at the time, due to being a more “polite society”?
Do some research!
Yes you know the truth, it was Oswald
Did the interviewer shrink his clothes?
Yeah...& a little eye contact wouldn't have gone astray either huh!!
Pamela Anne Right.....
Charles Rizzo I see that, what's wrong with him, maybe he's blind and can't tell where's he at, he seemed to ask some questions twice
The interviewer, what a pig that big Hugh stomach, then he puts his legs out with those socks from a dollar store, I really think he's blind there's no way he can't see what he looks like
😂
How do you interview someone & not look at them , The strangest interview I've ever seen !
The interviewer looks as if he's in a struggle to control his touretts
I can’t imagine Dr. Perry all of a sudden noticing the head wound after Dr. Mac noticed it and instantly going from “maybe I can save him” to “oh fuck…”.
I’m sure the gravity of what they knew at that moment hadn’t set in yet because they were running on adrenaline. Docs at Parkland did everything they could but no medical facility on earth past or present could’ve saved JFK after those wounds.
RIP Dr. Mac. You served your community well.
@ 38:35 it was "Good Night America" hosted by Geraldo Rivera, not Johnny Carson. March 6, 1975. I watched it.
Who cares
Thank you for this video. I would love to hear what Dr. McClelland said privately to his wife and trusted friends about that day, that he had to be circumspect about here in this setting.
Is that interviewer blind?
His courage to refuse to change his story is so appreciated. A true American hero.
Roger Craig a Dallas cop told the truth even after numerous attempts on his life until he committed suicide with a rifle he didn't own instead of one of the many pistols he did own.
NOPE. Just profoundly mistaken.
@@kenb3552 yes that makes sense
@@ComradeHB A lot more sense than McClelland's "unique" and common-sense-defying inaccurate account.
@@kenb3552 it's not unique when there are others who have corroborated. What's unique about that? Lol
I immediately noticed the posture and the way interviewer didn't make eye contact with Dr Mac....
Goes beyond!!!!! disrespectful.....
Fat, ignorant, beast.
What's wrong with him?
DR Mac... impressive!!!!
We need physicians with his intelligence, expertise and attitude to teach future doctors.
😭 He passed away...what a man, what a physician...
Jackie didn’t deserve what our national security put her through
The Harper fragment is a bone fragment that was found in the grass on the south rear side of the limo. I.e the back left. The motorcycle police officers on the south rear side of the limo were covered with bone and brain material. I.e the back left. Jackie held a section of the brain blow out from the back of the head. All the doctors and nurses at Parkland and mortician detail said they saw a large hole in the back of the head. Thus the shot that killed JFK came from the north west side i.e. The grassy knoll. However the official ex ray photos of the Warren Commission show NO hole or missing bone matter. Therefore who's ex rays photos are in the national archives? This eyewitness who was the closest person to the bullet wound is correct. Also the 50 plus witnesses who testified they heard a shot from the grassy knoll, the 20 plus witnesses who smelled gunsmoke from the grassy knoll, the numerous witnesses who saw smoke on the grassy knoll, the witnesses who saw the flash of a shot on the grassy knoll, the 20 plus policemen who ran to the grassy knoll, were all correct. Thanks for this interview.
wow you know a lot, you must have been in the car with kennedy
@@peterramsden3134 I met one of the doctors who was JFKs personal doctor. Later he was working at our hospital. We had lunch together. He was angry at the Warren Commission because he said the head shot came from the front and blew out the back. All the doctors and nurses said the same thing.....thus who really killed JFK?
@@henochparks his personal doctor was a navy man
@@peterramsden3134 Yes and no. The government doctor assigned to the President was Rear Admiral George G. Burkley a navy doctor. The Kennedy family's doctor was a civilian Italian Catholic. He worked at Providence Hospital in Oregon when I met him still practicing surgery at 72!. He was well liked at our hospital and easy to talk to.
In other footage of the event you see people and cops running up that grassy knoll looking toward the fence area. Makes me think a gunshot was fired around there and they all tried to find out who did it?
I think the interviewers cerebellum must have fallen out just before this interview.
LMFAO
LOL....……...pretty pathetic, isn't it? And look at the way he is sitting! This guy has NO class.
Maybe he’s wondering what happened to his pants! Lol
ahahah
I know, WTF is up with this guy? The doctor JUST finished telling about his being concerned he was the only staff present in the trauma room and the interviewer asks him to tell about it like he was asleep or something.
I'm only giving a thumbs up for the doctor. He is very sharp and clear on his experience during the jfk assassination. When he spoke I felt like I was there. The doctor also comes across humble and honest he was very young then so I can't imagine.
The interviewer however is a bit annoying, his behavior is very strange and disrespectful. He doesn't make eye contact, he keeps asking questions the doctor already answered and seriously he looks sloppy he needs to pull his pant leg down.
The exchange of rings to me would be letting go. Realizing her husband was gone but at the same time the rings would connect them even though he would no longer be with him after burial.
Interviewer isn't even paying attention to what the good doctor is saying. He asks questions about things the doctor has already covered.
Yes!😂😂
If he was hit from the back, then why did the secret service guys collard the pathologist and kept him from doing their routine autopsy. What were they trying to hide,, nothing done in the dark will not surface into light.
I think ol' Jack would've been glad that his last MD was an Irishman.
Tony M
I know he would - ☘
@@bethbartlett5692 That;s true. The Doctors were excellent at Parkland. When JFK got to Bethesda that's when all the wierdness, lies, corruption begin.
By chance, was he Irish Catholic? I am simply curious. Blessings❤
He was a Scot
Thanks to Doctor McCleland and all medical personnel in the ER. Unfortunately, President Kennedy came in without brain with the head exploded. He was instantly killed by snipers fire at Elm Street.
“Uhhh what were some of the senior staff members at the time?” Awesome questioning
Well I doubt I will still be running around here on earth when the truth really is told. But I am very sure where or rather when my soul leaves this body I will probably know the truth as my soul moves on to better places. Until then I will just pray and hope that something is released to let his daughter and family members along with the rest of everyone who knows theere was a massive coverup....
The spirit returns back to the God who gave it ( Ecclesiastes 12:7), and the soul that is sinning, it itself will DIE ( Ezekiel 18:4) if I die before the 2nd coming I hope to be resurrected by Jesus, Isaiah 26:19 and live in the New Earth ( Revelation 21:1). And return to the days of my youthful vigor ( Job 33:35). And once that I am young again I can stay young because it says so in Psalms 103:5, & Isaiah 40:31 & Psalms 84:7 also Psalms 18:32
@@gargould7186 Here come the men in the white suits!...lol
If Oswald survived that shot from Ruby that day he would have been shot another day. He had to be silenced! There's no way the conspirators would have let him tell the world what was happening.
what conspirators? Jack Ruby wasn't affiliated with anyone and insisted until his death he acted alone
@@chestrockwell6807 well that's it then case closed. right I'm off down the pub for a pint of yeah whatever! 😁
@@cfq.tufanuf7601 in Jack Ruby's case it is. do you have any additional evidence or just your vivid imagination?
@@chestrockwell6807 come on man Jack ruby owned and run the shadiest nightclub in Dallas. guaranteed he was ordered to silence Oswald. He was probably told that once he did this he would be the hero that everybody talked about. That's not forget Jack ruby with a pathetic little man who just wanted to be a somebody.
@@cfq.tufanuf7601 shadiest nightclub in Dallas? not even close. The Carousel was one of many strip clubs in the city that had a good reputation even with the police. "probably" only counts as evidence in your imagination, not here in the real world.
No autopsy equals cover-up
there were different pics and accounts. body was supposed to stay in texas anyway.
@@mikelldaley9078 Wrong, but you are correct about the autopsy should have been done in Texas. But Earle Rose, the Texas doctor who could have done the autopsy, has said that the Navy autopsy doctors did a good job!
@@curbozerboomer1773looks like you've been trolling the comment threads pretty hard. Fervently defending the official DC swamp creature Report. Why? What do you care what we think? 60 years ago. You're just parroting the mainstream Mockingbird media. A corporate owned conglomerate under the authority of the CIA. The official story is signed, sealed and delivered! I see you cite Bugliosi's work. A regurgitated tale taken from the pages of the swamp creature Report.
That's all you got?
Here's the thing. It's not _just_ about the JFK assassination, it's really a long diabolical history of the US government. From the Federal Reserve Act to foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack to JFK to the Gulf of Tonkin lie to the USS Liberty attack to RFK assassination to the OKC bombing to 9/11 and the WMD lie in Iraq. All can be backed up by facts.
And yet, here you are.
If only we had the technology that we had today we might have known the whole truth!! I believe there was more than one shooter that day!!
Your belief does not mean anything--evidence does.
Jackie was a strong woman😢
what a lousy interviewer, he acts scared to death to look at the doctor. lol
Better Day - 🤣 😂
Dark secrets maybe somethings wrong with him.
Gregg825 lo
I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the questions coming from the audience. That crowd clearly knows their stuff about the JFK case !
One of the major impressions that I had with Dealey Plaza is how small it appears in real life vs all of the pictures we've seen. I've walked everywhere including the 6th Floor, the grassy knoll, behind the picket fence, etc. With it being so confined, I just can't see how a shooter by that fence could be there, fire a shot and not be seen. I think that would have been impossible not to have seen such a person. The fence there is just a small number of feet from where Zapruder was standing on that raised pedestal where he shot the movie from. There were lots of people up there besides Zapruder. a gun shot would have been so loud that close to people that it would have been very loud to their ears, etc. Zapruder could not have kept filming with such a loud bang, literally a few feet from his ear. That's my take on the shot coming from the front.
I've been to Dealey Plaza a number of times, and can easily see how a shot could have been fired into JFK's head from the picket fence. Not criticizing your opinion, we all have a different perspective on the assassination.
There were reports of 2 people behind that fence, others heard a shot from the graassy noll and ran toward that area, so that proves something was heard and seen
The throat shot came from the three hitmen on the bridge. The side headshot came from behind the picket fence. Other shots were fired from behind, possibly from the Del-Tex building. Together they created a triangle of bullets, a standard practice for assassinations. The people close to the President, Zapruder and the knoll all got flat, some covering their children. Many pointed to the knoll and reported gun smoke in the air. A policeman ran up to the knoll only to find security and police there who sent him away. The guys behind the fence all had false badges and uniforms. After the cavalcade left for Parkland all the assassins melted away on preplanned escape routes. Almost all involved were later killed by the Secret Service. The Warren Commission whitewash never explored the reports of smoke coming from the knoll area as they were organised to create the lone assassin theory and cover up a state organised execution.
Your take is the correct one!...There is no evidence for a 2nd shooter--and evidence is the real deal!
@@curbozerboomer1773 pull your head out of the sand bro
Bless kissing his foot iv never heard that story 😭😭
It had occurred to me that the interviewer wasn’t that good then I looked at the comments lol
He's showing a little ankle ....sexy!
if you just listen, he does a good job. he's not a tv phony talking head.
Renman, you're killing me! 🤣🤣🤣🏳️🌈
Interviewer reminds me of "The Dudes" landlord from "The Big Lebowski". Kind of weird, spastic, nervous, and unsure.
This interviewer didn't look at the doctor once! Very strange.
Probably like most in the media, don't want to hear the truth from the horse's mouth.
Just the opposite end of the horse.
He does look at him....I saw it numerous times...lol!
Probably afraid to be connected to someone telling the truth. All connected have a way of disappearing from this life!
AT 8 MINUTES HE'S LOOKING AT HIM AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES.......YA HES AN ODD MOTHER BUT HE DOES LOO AT THE GUY
Unfortunately an MD is not a firearms expert.
Doc and his boys seemed to be so cool. You do your job plus a little bit more. Thanks guys.
And poor Jackie. Heartbroken like a wife that has just seen her husband gunned down in the driveway.
🐑 Only YOU can prevent hatred.
There is eyewitness testimony of mob-connected Jack Ruby at Parkland that Friday in the hallway. Now what do you think he was doing there? Planting evidence on the stretcher perhaps?
Maybe he was taking his dog Sheba for a stroll!...do some research.
It was a sad day in history.
Great interview but I would like to suggest that the interviewer needs to relax and make eye contact with the person he's interviewing.
The doctors know there was a cover-up
And some were threatened
This interviewer's demeanor is so detached and disrespectful as any I've ever seen. Hardly looks at the doctor throughout, lousy posture (pull your socks up)! The man has zero class and is just God awful. Who the hell is that oddball? 🙄
Lol 😂😂 I know you were totally serious but it's funny too and I agree.
He is classless, needs to roll his sock up or pull his pants down. He made zero eye contact or active listening.
He just seems childish, either way the good doctor got all of his points across.
No comment on the Dr's white socks?
This isnt so much an interview as it is just Dr. McClellan just giving his memory of what he did and witnessed that night. Cut the interviewer some slack and pay attention to the good Doctor. Much more important!!!
President Kennedy had the best doctors you could have, its just so sad he was hurt so terribly he had no chance.
@ 36:20 Kennedy got better protection AFTER he died then before he died.
@ 38:17 It was actually on a show called "Good Night America" with Geraldo Rivera. Robert Groden showed the film, March 6, 1975. It was the first time I had ever seen the Zapruder Film after hearing about it several times.
Has anyone interviewed the doctors who operated on Connally? That information is as important as what happened to JFK. So much that has not been asked that would shed a little more light on what happened that day.
Massive hole in the back of his head, not what the people at Bethesada said , the official version was he was shot in the back of the head , which blow out his right temporal lobe , but he says " there was a huge hole in the back of the head!
The interview keeps asking questions he has just answered.
He's lost his train of thought thinking about lunch. 🏳️🌈
I had tears coming down my face after reading this comment...its like a skit from SATURDAY NITE LIVE
