22 - The Assassination

A mortally wounded American president and the quest to find his assassin's bullet unexpectedly opened up a potentially new era of medical diagnostics in the late nineteenth century. In this episode, learn about the assassination of James Garfield and how the controversy surrounding his medical care led Alexander Graham Bell to develop an "induction balance" that could locate a piece of metal inside a human body. This is the first part of a two part series called "Sound and Light." Also included -- a new #AdamAnswers about … hiccups! All this and more in Episode 22 of Bedside Rounds!
