A new documentary, The Parkland Doctors, features the remaining living doctors who attempted to save John F. Kennedy’s life in Trauma Room 1 the day he was assassinated. Producers Bill Garnet and Jacque Lueth are using an Indiegogo campaign to fund the completion of the film.
In the film, the seven doctors for the first time collectively discuss what really happened that day in the Emergency Room at Dallas’ Parkland Hospital when they tried to resuscitate the President, and then the irony of trying to save the life of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, only 48 hours later.
The physicians in the film are Dr. Donald Seldin, Dr. Robert McClelland, Dr. Ronald Jones, Dr. Kenneth Salyer, Dr. Joe D. Goldstrich, Dr. Peter Loeb and Dr. Lawrence Klein.
Reducing Clinical and Staff Burnout with AI Automation
As technology advances, AI-powered tools will increasingly reduce the administrative burdens on healthcare providers.
“Everyone in the country has a right to know whatever I happen to be able to tell them because this isn’t something personal — it’s information that belongs to the entire country,” Dr. McClelland says.
“When I saw the autopsy pictures, I was very upset that the report and the pictures of the President did not accurately reflect what had transpired and what I had seen myself in Trauma Room One,” Dr. Goldstrich says.
This film is being produced independently and every dollar raised by this campaign is going directly toward finish the film.
