Marv's Neighbor Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Lincoln and Garfield were assasinated in DC, and JFK in Dallas. Not only did they all win Super Bowls, but 3 of our 4 losses were to the Redskins and the Cowboys. Buffalo lost out by; the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway, no tariffs on imported Steel, and the rise of foreign auto sales, because our cars really became second rate. McKinley may have lived given more competent diagnosis, and then none of the above would ever have happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 More competent treatment, you mean. Tough to misdiagnose "Shot in the stomach." He lived for 8 days after being shot. For the first 7, his diagnosis was very good. The doc's missed the gangrene which went undiagnosed internally, at the stitched entry and exit wound in the stomach, and also one of his kidneys, which was also injured by the bullet. Either way, I guess we're still doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 And this past April, I was hiking in the area of the Adirondacks where Teddy Roosevelt was when he found out about McKinley. http://www.buffalohistoryworks.com/panamex/assassination/chase.htm http://www.osiny.org/site/PageServer?pagename=news_pressID_45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
