Abstract
On September 19, 1881, James A. Garfield, 20th President of the United States, died after having been shot by Charles Guiteau on July 2, 1881. Dr. D. Willard Bliss was the chief surgeon attending to the President. He and his medical team have come under severe criticism for his treatment of the President. Dr. St. Pierre portrays Dr. Bliss in this historical interpretation presentation as he defends his decisions and offers his explanation of the care provided. Can you be convinced that his approach was the best despite the president’s untimely death?
