The Theodore Roosevelt assassination leaves A LOT out. 1) Roosevelt DID NOT recover from this injury. He was too sick to campaign for the final months of the campaign. 2) Roosevelt died only months after the election, because of being shot and the health problems it caused. If you get shot DON'T do what Roosevelt did even if the would doesn't seem that bad, seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY.

[@ThomasPA2023]

Roosevelt did NOT die months after the 1912 election because of being shot. He died years later in 1919 unexpectedly in his sleep due to what doctors believed to be a coronary embolism.

[@theangrylizard1990]

There's an Infographics Show video about the president's level of security. It includes things like having to have an ambulance nearby at all times, having several pints of blood of the president's type on hand, and the need to be no more than 10 minutes away from the nearest hospital; with a Secret Service agent on hand in that hospital's ER to clear the way as soon as they get the word. Some of those measures might have been in place when Reagan was shot and they would have helped him survive.
