Heaven can wait.  Make this place right first.

The DOA 1:15 time is a problem for me.

It’s 1:15 on the emergency room clock that the doctor records when he pronounced Tippit DOA.

On the official "Authorized Permit for Autopsy" Tippit is recorded as being DOA(Dead on Arrival), meaning that he was dead before he arrived, therefore where the actual time of death is recorded, must by definition, can not be the time Tippit arrived!
And because in this case the time of death happened earlier and in some other place, the actual time must be estimated and based on any available information.



And here the Police describe the Doctors attempting to bring Tippit back to life, further reinforcing that the doctors observed that Tippit was deceased when he arrived.



BTW, I hope that some medical professional finds out what's wrong with you and you have a full recovery!

Well, they certainly can be a source of empirical evidence.

Not by themselves.

Individual witnesses may be reliable or unreliable. You seem to think that there is no way to tell whether witnesses are reliable. It has nothing to do with having “faith” in a witness.

Of course there is a way to tell if a witness is accurate with their recollections. You compare their story to the body of evidence as a whole, preferably some form of physical evidence. One witness telling the same story as another isn't much of a corroboration. Multiple witnesses can make the same mistake as illustrated by the dozens of witnesses who thought the shots sounded like they came from the GK.

I had a back-and-forth (if we can call it that) with Walt Cakebread where he said that LBJ was going to announce that Castro was behind the assassination. But the Soviets had learned about the conference and had launched their nuclear armed bombers to the US to attack us. They were on their way, loaded with thermonuclear weapons that they were going to drop on us. So LBJ canceled the announcement to prevent the attack.

I, let us say, strongly disagreed with his claim. As in, there is no damned record anywhere of such acts. By LBJ, by the Soviets. It simply didn't happen. It's all made up. He insisted otherwise. It was at that point where I said to myself, "You dummy, you are trying to reason with a deranged person."

Not all JFK conspiracists are psychotic. But I will wager that all psychotic people are JFK conspiracists. See above.

Just the kind of fruitcake ideas Walt Cakebread was known for. I remember him from alt.conspiracy.jfk. I can't remember if he was part of the AOL forum before that.

The DOA 1:15 time is a problem for me.

It’s 1:15 on the emergency room clock that the doctor records when he pronounced Tippit DOA.

That time coincides  nicely with Bowleys post shooting wristwatch time of 1:10 seeing Tippit already laying on ground and Markams pre shooting estimate time of 1:07 so sighting Oswald and Tippit following Oswald.

So why the DPD dispatch has a time that is 1:16 for Bowley radio call at 1:10 (by his watch ) has to be either collusion or everyone else’s clock  including the emergency room doctors clock was 5 to 7 minutes slow relative to the dispatchers clock.

It’s possible but in the case of the emergency room clock one would think that the hospital would keep clocks in emergency rooms in sync with “official” police time. Then again, this particular hospital could be a little sloppy like the emergency room I was in today for 8 hrs and could not get any diagnosis of even a general one  and I finally left the place out of hunger and dehydration not having eaten for 22 hrs.A Z-Gen orderly told me it was nothing to be concerned about not having eaten in 22 hrs. Yea, no concern for HIM no doubt. 

Zeon... How could Tippit arrive DOA at Methodist at 1:15 when the Bowley call was not made on Tippit's squad car radio until 1:17? 

Bowley tells us his actions upon arriving at the scene.  He simply got out of his car, walked over to the body, realized there was nothing he could do for Tippit and then went over to the door and took the mic from Benavides and reported the shooting.  This doesn't take seven minutes.  It is up to each of us to decide whether we want to rely on the accuracy of the Dallas Police dispatcher verbal time stamps... or Bowley's 1960's era windup wristwatch.

How could Tippit arrive DOA at Methodist at 1:15 when the ambulance wasn't dispatched from the Dudley-Hughes Funeral Home until 1:18?  Eddie Kinsley (ambulance personnel, along with J.C. Butler) confirmed that he gave a copy of the call sheet to George & Patricia Nash.  The Nashes stated that the time listed on this call sheet was 1:18.

As for your hospital visit, I hope everything is good with you.  Prayers.
