#20 Where's The Bullet? (Part 2 of 5)
In this episode, we uncover the tragic and avoidable death of President James A. Garfield. What began as a shocking assassination attempt in a D.C. train station turned into an 80-day medical nightmare that exposed the flaws of 19th-century medicine. We’ll explore Garfield’s brilliance, his vision for a reunited nation, and how a single misguided focus on finding a bullet sealed his fate. This haunting story reminds us that sometimes, the real danger isn’t the shot itself, but what follows after.
