Living History with Steve Landregan

[@poppynurse]

Great storyteller, involved in every aspect, well told...

[@figgybass]

Enjoyed this interview.

[@BilgePump]

A interviewer must listen and remember he is not the focus. The Dr announces he was the official witness for the Oswald autopsy and the interviewer completely misses it.

[@BryanM61]

Landegran wasn't a doctor; he was the Asst. Administrator at Parkland, but was integral to coordinating activities the day of the assassination. If you read his written statement in the Price Exhibit of the Warren Commission, you would probably reach the conclusion that he was the 'central hub' of communications and decision-making for the medical staff, press, Kennedy and Connally family and staff, Secret Service, FBI, DPD, and logistics (engineering, telephones, etc.); in short, except for the medical efforts, he was running the show. I agree that in this - and many other Living History interviews - Stephen Fagin sometimes 'steps on' the speakers at absolutely critical points in their interviews.

​@@BryanM61 Correct! he and Mac Kilduff coordinated much at Parkland

[@dannyburch2122]

One thing that I think might be wrong Pierre Salinger JFK's press secretary they were on their way back from Japan I believe not Paris and when they were told to be assassination of course they turned around and headed back to Washington

[@lindagiovannazambanini6218]

Partly correct... Salinger and the entire cabinet (i think except for one cab. member) were en route to Japan at the time. They were instructed to return and the plane turned around and landed in Honolulu. From there they returned to DC.

I just now realized something. Maybe I have heard it before, and have just forgotten. Here is my question. We constantly hear stories from the doctors and eyewitnesses at Parkland Hospital, about the weekend, that both President Kennedy and Oswald, were brought in. I just now for some reason realized, Ive never heard anything at all, about where Officer Tippit was taken after being killed. I know that he died right there at the scene, pretty much instantly, when he was shot. Ive just never heard anything whatsoever about his journey after that. Was he taken to Parkland also? Was he taken directly to the Morgue? I truly dont know. I hate that he isnt discussed anywhere near as much as he deserves to be. His son and daughter, deserve to hear how appreciated his actions were that day. Whether any conspiracies are true or not, one fact remains. JD didnt get to go home that night to his young wife and children. God bless Officer Tippit!

[@rogerscottcathey]

Where can we see that intake record in full?

[@BryanM61]

There is a photocopy of it as one of the Warren Report exhibits. Not much to it: 2 lines on a page; one for JFK and one for Connally; name, time, and the letters 'GSW' (gunshot wound) for the nature of the emergency. -- Oh, Update: It's right in the video here at 4:54

[@jude999]

There was no body bag, and Saligner was on a plane to Hawaii, not in Paris.

[@quintonpace2311]

Mr Landregan said twice in this interview the President's body was placed in a body bag. I've seen interviews where the funeral director stated the body was not placed in a body bag. Interesting.

[@randyharris3175]

He obviously made a mistake and didn't actually view the event.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

@@randyharris3175 also...his description of JFKs head wound (which he seemed reluctant to discuss) goes against the verified, official autopsy photos and x-rays, that show the massive head wound was located above the ear, and extended more forwards than backwards...this man says the right/back of the head was basically shot off!...several of the Parkland doctors said similar observations--even Dr. Kemp Clark, the neurosurgeon who signed off on the death certificate. We have to believe the medical evidence--but why do the Parkland people say conflicting things about this?...very weird.

[@bradparker9664]

JUST A NOTION that MIGHT sort of explain that...if you watch the oral history with Robert Walker, MD, he describes being asked to go get some mattress covers from some operating rooms (to be used for trying to wrap the body such that it didn't stain the interior of the casket, presumably). I interviewed multiple physicians and others in the Trauma room that day, including Aubery Rike, and that was the first mention of anything like that I've heard in 30+ years on the medical evidence. Mr. Landregan is a grand old gentleman in this interview, but he's clearly very much a layman not familiar with a lot of pretty basic medical stuff. (Several things he mentions are incorrect, but he's not a physician so he's just doing the best he can to recount a very old memory.) I just wonder if that mattress cover thing, being one continuous piece of fabric, could be mistaken by a layman who's probably never seen a body bag in his life. Merely speculation obviously. (I love his mention of having to "straighten anything out" of the movie Parkland.)

[@johnburns1776]

Pause this at 8:41 as He shows with his hand, and says the BACK of the presidents head was blown out. Meaning a shot from the front.

[@trulyrobyn1505]

No, he's indicating the area above the right ear. That's where the exit wound is on the Zapruder film, the autopsy, the the autopsy photos, the pathology report and the x-rays.

[@johnburns1776]

@@trulyrobyn1505 Please sir, clean your eyeglasses, and look again at 8:41 He CLEARLY places his hand on the REAR of his head. Have you not seen the 21 Dealey plaza, Parkland, and Bethesda eyewitnesses who ALL placed their hand to the very REAR of the head. There are photographs all over the web, showing these eyewitness clearly describing a massive wound to the REAR of the head.I am giving you the respect that perhaps you are just not yet well informed on the Case. A less charitable critique would be that you are deliberately misleading people. I hope the former, and not the latter.

[@rogerscottcathey]

There wasn't a body bag used on JFK in Parkland.

[@ericbaker9688]

21:41 Them low down dirty snakes man! Why would you bring such film to a hospital for someone to see at a time like that? Why set it up there out of all the places you can do that. Simple! to coach him on what to say. So it can coincide with their plan. They wanted to get to him before he made his real statement. Therefore when Connelly gave is statement not to long after while still in the hospital bed, it will all fall into place the way they wanted to. Which seemed coached to me. Smh

coach him? shucks, Jack Price, Darrell Tomlinson, Landregan and others at Parkland had foreknowledge that the President of the United States would be arriving dOa At parkland by apx 3:40 pm

[@ericbaker9688]

@@TvDaddyAndTheTabloidArmy Apox 3:40 pm is very key in what you said. He was assassinated around 12:30 pm or so! But I’m sure they weren’t the only ones with first hand information. Perhaps others in that motorcade knew in advance! Either way majority of the news media didn’t want to release such information right away. Even Cronkite had to answer to someone if such information wasn’t accurate. And held off a couple hours afterwards. I made that statement because the secret service had that hospital under their control. Which they should but certain people were there that wasn’t supposed to be there calling shots! Especially in the operating room etc. Which made Bethesda a circus to say the least. Connally was a snake! It’s too much to mention about him and his hand in it. Which was the other part of my statement. Who do they answer to? Washington! Who controlled Washington? Right wing and leftist nuts that had it out for the man since the Cuban missile crisis and Bay of Pigs. The CIA was in the process of being dismantled, Hoover was about to be dethroned, And the mob felt betrayed because of Bobby’s betrayal. And the treachery goes on and on..

[@hulaguitar]

I believe this might be the first person to mention seeing a body bag being used for JFK at Parkland?

[@tallmn1957]

Yes, and I can't believe he wasn't stopped at that moment and questioned about it. But Aubrey Rike from the funeral home has stated that he himself helped put JFK in the casket and that they put him in a plastic mattress cover and not a body bag. Still this man should have been questioned about it.

[@Imtahotep]

I've heard Rike describe it as rubberized body bag, "like the ones used in Vietnam" but as always, there's mountains of conflicting info to sort through because *CIA is at the bottom of this whole mess* and their stock and trade is misdirection, lies, deceit, disinformation, double-cross, death and murder, aimed at Americans and their presidents, JFK + Reagan too!. Do you have a reference to Aubrey's statement about the mattress cover? Parkland had access to both body bags and mattress covers, although a bag seems to be more probable, but Rike was actually there and my 'impression' is he's a truthful person.

[@mkii1964]

hulaguitar - 50 year old memories aren’t so sharp, he also said Mcgruder when referring to Zapruder....

[@travismaxwell6821]

It was OSWALD.

[@jude999]

It was not an official body bag, which didn't exist at the time. A mattress cover from a hospital bed was used to put the body in. Per a doctor at Parkland who got it.

[@randyharris3175]

Wait a minute he said his body was put in a body bag he has to be mistaken here.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

The body of JFK was placed in a casket, but first, the folks who put him in there, had to place a large sheet of plastic material in there, to protect the inside of the casket from the blood that was still oozing from the head wound....then, they wrapped the body in a full sheet, and used another sheet to wrap the head--once again, to absorb the blood...the plastic sheet may have been from a hospital bed cover, and might have given the false appearance of being a type of body bag...this body bag business was mentioned b y the people who moved JFKs body from the casket, to the autopsy table, at Bethesda. They were mistaken.

[@bradparker9664]

This gentleman was not a physician but he's pretty clear on wound location when he puts his hand to the back of his head. They did an oral history with Dr. Phillip Williams who briefly saw the head injury and again....occipitoparietal exit. They did a joint one with Dr. Robert McClelland and Dr. Ron Jones, both of whom I've interviewed myself and they obviously both describe that posterior gaping avulsion.

[@stddisclaimer8020]

There were no doctorS who " described a large (exit) wound at the back of the head." That's a conspiracy-addled myth. The Zapruder film as well as the Moorman photo show the back of the President's head to be *_intact_* The four main doctors who attended to the dying president: Perry, Carrico, Jenkins & Baxter; all agreed that in Carrico's words, "Nothing we observed contradicts the autopsy finding that the bullets were fired from above and behind by a high-velocity weapon." The same Parkland doctors appeared on NOVA in 1988, re-examined the autopsy photos and agreed they are accurate and depict an entry wound on the back of the skull. I'm curious to see how conspiracy peddlers get around all that...
