As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
One does not often have the possibility of reviewing actual stats of a President. The following posted below are the vitals of President Theodore Roosevelt after he was shot by an assassin.
While each person is different in their personal norms, the data below indicates exactly what they should be in a person who has been shot, lost blood, their body is in the process of fighting off infection by elevated temperatures and additional work in healing.
Basically his pulse was elevated due to stress, the temperature was up half a degree due to a normal reaction in keeping an infection from setting in, and his respiration was quite normal.
The leucocyte count is the white blood cell count in cells which fight off infections and is normal for someone who was shot, and had whatever paper and cloth in their chest, taken in by the bullet.
"Col. Roosevelt's hurt is a deep bullet wound of the chest wall without striking any vital organ in transit. The wound was not probed. The point of entrance was to the right of and one inch below the level of the right nipple. The range of the bullet was upward and inward, a distance of four inches, deeply in the chest wall. There was no evidence of the bullet penetrating into the lung. Pulse, 90; temperature, 99.2; respiration, 20; leucocyte count, .82 at 10 a.m. No operation to remove bullet is indicated at the present time. Condition hopeful, but wound so important as to demand absolute rest for a number of days." (Signed) "Dr. John B. Murphy. "Dr. Arthur B. Bevan. "Dr. Scurry L. Terrell.
Oliver Remey; Henry Cochems; Wheeler Bloodgood. The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
The worst of it for Theodore Roosevelt was the bullet splintered one rib. That is what bothered him, as it was painful to breathe. He recovered soon enough from that, but in an argument with the Governor of California, Hiram Johnson, who was the Vice President of the Bull Moose ticket, Roosevelt slammed his fist down in protest of the Governor not going back to California to relieve some of the burden from from Teddy in the campaign.
Roosevelt winced at that jarring pain, but in elevated voice, his wife entered the doorway at the sound from the next room and lifting a warning finger, ordered, "You must be quiet Theodore."
Teddy complied and was soon enough back at Oyster Bay.
Considering there were no "real medicines" such as antibiotics, IV's or anything else, Teddy Roosevelt was back campaigning in about a month in making speeches.
That is this moment in history, which mirrors a great deal in the recovery of Ronald Reagan after he was shot in an assassination attempt.
