Description

Through the help of over 14 doctors, Abraham Lincoln survived for 9 hours after he was shot at Ford's Theatre before passing away on the morning of April 15th, 1865. What treatments did the doctors try? What equipment was used? Join a Park Ranger on a walking tour to discover the medical history of the Lincoln assassination. Meet outside Ford's Theatre. Walking route will be less than 1 mile.
