Hopeful of Recovery
Dr. John C. Hemmeter, of Baltimore, Considers Outlook for the President Favorable.
[Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
B, N. Y., Sept[.]
6.—I have just spoken with Dr. Matthew D. Mann, who performed the operation
of laparotomy on President McKinley, and Dr. John Parmenter, who assisted.
The wound was a perforation in the stomach one
and a half inches above the insertion of the omentum. A bullet entered and lodged
in the muscles of the back, where it will do no harm.
The operation was faultlessly executed by Dr.
Mann, with Dr. Roswell Parke in consultation. The President’s condition was
satisfactory after the operation. He was taken to the home of John G. Milburn,
president of the Exposition, 1168 Delaware avenue [sic], in a rubber-tire ambulance.
Surgeons accompanied him.
Dr. Diehl, the Mayor of Buffalo; Dr. Warren Potter,
editor of the Buffalo Medical Journal, and myself consulted with the assistant
surgeons during the operation. No one was admitted during the operation.
My personal opinion is that the prognosis is favorable.
