Garfield arrived that morning at the Baltimore and Potomac train station on the National Mall eager to get going on a trip to Massachusetts with his sons. He never got on the train. Charles Guiteau, a deranged former lawyer and evangelist who believed Garfield owed him an ambassadorship, stepped out of the shadows and shot the president once in the arm and once in the back. Garfield seemed at first as if he might recover, but then, his doctors got involved. What happened over the next two months, the desperate and ultimately failed attempt to save the president is the subject of a new book by author Candace Millard. Its called Destiny of the Republic A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President. To get a better feel for the story, Candace Millard and I took a field trip. Were here at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. This is a facility that has existed since the 1. Washington and is now in a new home in Silver Spring, Maryland. Candace Millard, what is it that were looking at hereCANDACE MILLARD This is the section of President Garfields spine that was removed during the autopsy. And it shows specifically, you can see theres a red pin that goes and its a plastic pin that goes through the spinal column showing where Guiteaus bullet went through. ROBERTS Also, looking at it, the way the bullet went through the body of the vertebra instead of through where the spinal cord comes up, he could have survived this bullet wound. MILLARD Yes, absolutely. The bullet didnt hit the spinal cord. It didnt hit any vital organs. And, you know, at this time, 1. Civil War, there were a lot of Civil War veterans walking around with bullets inside of them. In fact, one of the detectives who took Guiteau to the district jail after he shot Garfield had a bullet in his head that hed been walking around with since the Civil War. And so, you know, the problem was the president received a lot of medical care and the wrong kind. In fact, the first time this wound was examined was on the floor of the train station. ROBERTS And what eventually killed the president MILLARD Infection. So this examination went on for day after day after day for more than two months. In the end, 1. 2 different doctors inserted unsterilized fingers and instruments in this wound in the presidents back searching for this bullet. In fact, they made the track down the right side that they thought was the track of the bullet, but their own fingers and instruments made it, and it filled with pus. And so he went from this, you know, six foot tall, 2. ROBERTS So looking from here and Im trying to orient my spine to the presidents here on the table if the bullet went through to the left side of his body, his doctors at the time were pretty convinced it was on the right side. And, in fact, one of the interesting, sort of subplots in your book is Alexander Graham Bell trying to rush to readiness more or less a metal detector to track the path of the bullet, but he wasnt allowed to look in the right place. MILLARD Thats right. So the doctor who took over his medical care, Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss whose first name was Doctor strangely Dr. Bliss believed and had publicly stated that the bullet was on the right side. At first, he thought it was in the liver, and everyone believed that the president would die that night. And when he survived, they said, well, it must be near the liver, but its still a danger to him, and so thats why we need to find it, and thats why they continued to probe for it. This is 1. 4 years before the invention of the medical X ray, so they really dont have any other way to look for it. And thats when Alexander Graham Bell stepped in with his induction balance, which was basically a metal detector which he connected to a telephone receiver. And had he been able to find this bullet, and had they been able to see, it had done all the damage it was going to do. Publication history. Dazzle Devices.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Published since 1978, it chronicles the life of the title character, the cat Garfield Jon, his owner and. It was no longer a danger to the president, the medical care was. Had he been able to stop that early enough before the infection was too great, the president almost certainly would have survived. So what happened, when they did the autopsy and the doctors who had taken care of the president were there they realized immediately how wrong they were. And one of the surgeons who had worked with Bliss stepped forward at this, you know, incredibly painful, emotional autopsy and ran his little finger down the spine and slipped his finger into that hole where you see that pin right now, and he said, we were wrong.

And he walked out the door. ROBERTS Im speaking to Candace Millard. Her book is called Destiny of the Republic A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President. When the doctors came to treat Garfield, starting initially on the floor of that filthy train station with their filthy hands, ultimately introducing the infection that would kill him, the theory of antisepsis existed. Why didnt they pay attention to it MILLARD So this is one of the most difficult to accept aspects of this story. Joseph Lister, who was a renowned British surgeon, had discovered antisepsis 1. Hed had dramatic results in his own surgical lab, and he had begged American doctors to sterilize their hands and instruments. And he had warned them if they didnt, they ran the very real risk of killing their patients. Unfortunately, many of the most experienced, most respected doctors in the United States dismissed antisepsis. They thought it was useless, maybe even dangerous. And the doctors who were treating the president, you know, the fact that he was president, they thought, were not going to take any chances. Were going to use the most traditional medical methods of the time. I think had he been just an average man, he would have had a better chance of surviving. Burnout Revenge Pc Game on this page. ROBERTS Its ironic, because the fact that he was the president also pushed people forward scientifically. Alexander Graham Bell tried to perfect the induction balance, but at the same time, it led his doctors to cling to older ways. MILLARD Thats right. You know, this you know, people forget that this was a tremendous tragedy at the time, an incredible loss to the country. But one of the good things that came out of it was that antisepsis immediately was accepted and adopted in the United States after Garfields death. Because after the autopsy results were released, Americans understood right away that their president didnt have to die, and they understood why he did. You know, Dr. Bliss was disgraced, publicly disgraced in newspapers and medical journals. And it was a tremendous advancement in medical science. ROBERTS The portrait you paint of Garfield is this, just lovely man, smart and warm and decent and kind even when he was in terrible pain. You clearly grew fond of him writing about him.
