Nellie was of such sound mind sh told us JFK clutched his throat. That never happened. Great witness. JBC had no way of knowing whether JFK had been hit by the first or second shot. He didn't turn all the way around until he had been seriously wounded. I don't care how sound minded he was, he didn't have eyes in the back of his head.

As for there being two seconds between the shot that hit JFK and the one that hit JBC, which one of them was running the stop watch?

The Z-film gives us a much better indication. It shows they both reacted to their wounds at the exact same instant. There were roughly two milliseconds between the time the bullet hit JFK's back and it entered JBC's back
I don't place any value on Brennan's ID of Oswald. I place value on him establishing the location of the shooter. The forensic evidence tells us that Oswald was the assassin, not any eyewitness.

     Based on the timeline of Office Baker above, Shelley/Lovelady have 35 seconds at this point to arrive at the TSBD 1st Floor Loading Dock. And, as the above still frame makes clear, Shelley/Lovelady are Not even moving toward the TSBD front door. PLus, the steps leading up to the landing/front door are Jammed Packed with people. Whenever they do start toward the TSBD front door, Shelley/Lovelady would Not be moving toward the front door in a straight line. Their advancing toward the front door would be obstructed. The same goes for their advancing through the TSBD Lobby. The 1 Minute Tick/Tock does Not permit Shelley/Lovelady to reach the freight elevator.  Adams claiming that it took her 1 Minute MAX to go from the window to the 1st floor, has to be wrong for her to see Shelley and Lovelady at the freight elevator.

This from a 2025 medical blog:

When Kennedy took office in 1961, Burkley was already known, cleared, and trusted. The new President’s naval aide recommended him. He was steady, discreet, politically safe. Not a famous specialist who might seek headlines — but a career officer who knew how to keep things quiet.

At first, George Burkley bore the quiet title of Assistant Physician to the President, working in the shadow of Janet Travell, the trailblazing internist Kennedy had installed in 1961 as his personal doctor. For more than two years they operated side by side—Travell, the civilian pioneer, tending to Kennedy’s battered back with her unorthodox therapies; Burkley, the Navy admiral, steady and discreet, covering the daily grind of travel, emergencies, and official duties.

Behind the image lay a body under siege: Addison’s disease, a spine fused by surgery, chronic infections, and a pharmacy’s worth of steroids, narcotics, and stimulants. By 1961, Kennedy was taking more medication than most patients twice his age.

Burkley was no longer the quiet assistant. By 1963, he had become the indispensable physician at Kennedy’s side — the Navy doctor who tracked the cortisone, stimulants, and painkillers that kept the President moving. He carried emergency vials on every trip abroad, adjusted regimens when fatigue or pain broke through, and kept a meticulous eye on the balance of drugs.

Travell still held the title of personal physician in Washington, but her experimental therapies and complicated routines were increasingly sidelined. In the day-to-day life of the presidency, it was Burkley who stood guard over the fragile machinery of Kennedy’s health.

....Burkley, who had been assistant White House Physician since Feb., 1, 1961, pri- marily was responsible for maintenance of the basement dispensary of the office wing of the White House. It was here that he treated all members of the White House staff. Burkley's increased responsiblities were accompanied with a promotion from the rank of captain to rear admiral....

CMDR CORNELIUS re- ported aboard the White House on Feb. 13, after the fastest move in her 13-year Navy career.

"I was stationed at the Women's Officers School in Newport (R I) and thought I'd be there until summer when I was expected to be or- dered abroad," says Cmdr. Cornelius, recalling how her assignment came about.

"On Friday -- that was Feb. 3 -- I had taken a group of WAVE students to the Sub- marine Base at New London, when the tour officer boarded the bus and gave me a note to call Washington.

"I called the Director of the Nurse Corps (Capt. Ruth Houghton) and was told that she couldn't tell any details, but for me to be in Washing- ton Monday morning.

....."When I was told what it (the assignment) was, I was really in a state -- a state of shock. But, I came over here (to the White House) and saw Dr. Travell and Dr. George Burkley (Navy Capt. George G Burkley, assistant to Dr. Travell) and it was all set- tled.

"I flew back to Newport, was packed and had my fur- niture out by Wednesday. That was the fastest move I've ever made."

(Nurse Cornelius did not stay long....)

...Here And There:

The pretty blonde Navy nurse who stood guard over President Kennedy, Thurs- day, when he was felled by a virus, is like her famous patient, from Mass. She's from Worchester, is a graduate of the Boston College School of Nursing. The "very efficient" Lt Elizabeth Chapowicki came to the White House a little over a month ago from the surgical wards of the Navy Hospital. She replaced Lt. Cmdr. Dolores Cornelius as Dr. Janet Travell's nurse-secretary when the Commander left to take graduate work at Catholic University....

...Jacobsen's intrusion became only on of Travell's many problems as she began her tenure as the president's personal physcian. Following the inauguration she occupied Dr. Snyder's three offices along the lengthy corridor opposite the president's elevator on the first floor of the White House. Travell saw the president nearly daily either in her office or at his private second-fllor residence. She relied on a small staff to care for others in the executive offices; they included Vice Admiral George Burkley of the U.S. Navy Medical Corps, the assistant White House physician, whose west-basement office was intentionally far removed from Travell's and the president's. It would be two months before Travell introduced him to Kennedy. Almost from the outset Travell and Burkley developed a dislike for each other because of personal and professional differences.

In addition to her staff, Travell depended on several consultants who left their private practice whenever Travell summoned them -

Yeah, right, what would he know? What was I even thinking? 

It's reasonably clear to me that he believed there were two shots to the head. My guess is, he knew the autopsy had been fudged to avoid that reality. My guess is, he was speaking in terms of "others participating" and "conspiracy" solely on the basis of the medical evidence.

EVERY - and I mean EVERY - indication is that Burkley was less likely to invent tall tales that just about anyone in the entire JFKA panoply. If he was willing to talk to the HSCA, he had something that he thought was significant.

The SBT and the autopsy are the Achilles heels of the LN narrative even if it's correct.
