A doctor describes the path of the bullet that struck Pres. Ronald Reagan

Medium-close shot of a doctor wearing a suit and sitting in front of a bundle of microphones. Occasionally the shadows of cameras are visible on the wall behind him, and at one point a boom mic comes into the top right of the frame. The doctor says: "It was a single bullet wound, that entered slightly underneath the left armpit. It traversed about three inches of the chest wall, and then ricocheted off the seventh rib into the left lower lobe of the lung, and moved about three inches into the lung substance itself. The operative incision is about six inches in width, relatively simple procedure. The bullet was removed, and then the incision was closed. As I say, he is stable and in good condition." A reporter asks: "What is the prognosis?" The doctor responds: "Prognosis is excellent."
