Just read in a book on assassinations on the wkend how, after Pres James Garfield was shot, the doctor who stitched him up as too inexperienced, which resulted in the bullet not being removed and causing infection which proved deadly. However, there was actually a new X-Ray machine nearby which could well have saved the pres' life had some more experienced doctor had the presence of mind to use this new technology. Now supposing this happened- what next ? How would Garfield's survival have affected the course of US hist ?
