(‘lincoln’ died 9 hours after being shot)
(‘mckinley’ survived for a ‘week’ before dying)

.

(doctors ‘couldn’t find’ the bullet lodged in garfield’s body)
(the dummy doctors kept probing his insides with dirty unsterilized hans in search of the bullet)
(‘alexander graham bell’ was on hand with a metal detector)
(???)
(tried to locate the bullet with it)
(but the doctors insisted the bullet was lodged in his right side)
