Parkland Hospital4900 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX | (214) 920-5060
The President was rushed to Parkland Hospital where his condition had deteriorated rapidly. Even as the press contingent grew, a Roman Catholic priest had been summoned to perform the last rites for President Kennedy. Dr. M.O. Perry II, assistant professor of surgery at UT Southwestern and a vascular surgeon on the Parkland staff was the first to treat Kennedy and he performed a tracheotomy, followed by a cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed with another surgeon. Other doctors and surgeons who gathered worked frantically to save the President's life, but his wounds were too great. He was pronounced dead at 1:00 PM. -
