• ... that surgeon Robert N. McClelland tried to save the lives of both John F. Kennedy and his assassin? Source: "Dr. Robert McClelland, a surgeon who tried to help revive a mortally wounded President John F. Kennedy in 1963 after he was shot in Dallas ..."

  • ALT1:... that surgeon Robert N. McClelland, who tried to save President John F. Kennedy, believed that there was a second shooter? Source: "...the retired professor emeritus of UT Southwestern's medical school also clung staunchly to a contentious opinion forged firsthand: that one of the shots that had struck Kennedy had come from the front, which would require the existence of a second gunman."

• QPQ done, plenty of room for expansion but long enough for dyk. Hook in article and followed by inline citation of a reference which supports hook. Regarding copvio...Can you rephrase this part...Robert Nelson McClelland (November 20, 1929–September 10, 2019) was an American surgeon. In 1963, he worked unsuccessfully to save the life of American President John F. Kennedy after he was fatally shot, and two days later, the life of Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Then should be ok for a tick. thank you ?Whispyhistory (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

6 other JFK Parkland doctors agree with Dr McClelland about a front entrance wound.

This is not true in the current article:

"McClelland was the only member of Kennedy's surgical team who supported the idea that Kennedy had been shot from the front, thus the idea that there was a second gunman."

There is a 2023 documentary about 7 doctors who were there, and they believed there was an entrance wound from the front:

Nov 15, 2023 CBS News article from the executive producer, Jacquelynn Lueth:

• JFK's E.R. doctors share new assassination details. Excerpt (emphasis added): "I videotaped interviews with seven of the doctors. ... The interviews were conducted individually and then I brought them together as a group. It was the first time since the day of the assassination that they had been reunited. ... They didn't agree on everything, but it became obvious that the way the president looked at Parkland did not match the autopsy photos taken at Bethesda even before the official autopsy began. ... The doctors at Parkland had extensive experience in treating gunshot wounds and had no agenda other than trying to save the president's life. Those who saw the wound in the president's neck believed it was an entrance wound. Several of them saw a gaping hole in the back of JFK's head."
