Surgery [excerpt]

     In the case of President McKinley, the x-rays were not used to locate the bullet. It seems likely that the surgeons in attendance regarded the evident wound of the stomach as the indication for operation without a moment’s delay. As shown later the fatal termination would not have been averted by the location and removal of the bullet.
