When your patient's murderer cites your incompetence in his defense, maybe it's time to consider a career change.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_James_A._Garfield

      President Garfield was shot in the back by Guiteau, but didn’t die. Garfield was taken to the White House, where his doctors tried too remove the bullet. This went on for over 2 months, and Garfield started suffering from Sepsis and infection, then died.

      Garfield might have survived if the doctors had left the bullet alone, and just treated the wound.

        He famously died with these last words: “I bet it’s Monday”

            Thanks for checking! It was a stupid joke about Garfield the cat.

    Oh oh!! I read a book about this one. They litterally poked their unwashed fingers into the bullethole to try and fish the bullet out. He would have been just fine if they didn’t so that 😭

    I read this wrong and thought this was about The Garfield, the annoying orange cat.
