This 1993 book by Ronald ("Skip") F. Garvey, M.D., M.B.A., with Charles R. Baxter, M.D., M.T. (“Pepper”) Jenkins M.D., and Robert N. McClelland, M.D. was published jointly by the Department of Surgery at UT Southwestern and the Parkland Surgical Society.

Included are profiles of all heads of the department, and a chapter on the burn unit at Parkland Hospital. Of widest general interest is the chapter titled simply, “November 22, 1963”, recounting events the day that President John F. Kennedy was brought to Parkland after having been shot. The chapter also includes an account of the treatment of Lee Harvey Oswald after having been shot on November 24, 1963.
