December 2013 TEXAS MEDICINE 15
An account of Parkland Hospital physicians trying to save President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, and the story of the horrific Texas City explosion that killed almost 600 people on April 16, 1947, are part of a new TMA exhibit — Bugs, Bones, and Blood — in the History of Medicine Gallery on the first floor of the TMA building in Austin. The exhibit focuses on forensic techniques such as autopsies and poison analysis, as well as forensic medicine in fiction. The exhibit closes in September.
