Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth at the Ford Theater.

Ever wondered whether or not Caesar (who invented a really delicious salad right?) would have survived if he was rushed to a hospital full of modern medicine and technology? Would Archduke Franz Ferdinand have survived his assassination and World War I evaded? See the grizzly details of the assassinations of Julius Caesar Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and more, what steps were taken to save them then, and a medical commentary discussing their chances of surviving their assassination attempts today. For example, Franz Ferdinand died by bleeding out, when a simple application of direct pressure could have saved his life. Could modern technology have saved JFK? Abraham Lincoln? MLK?
