April 16 “The Lincoln Assassination: Myths and Mysteries” -- A lecture by Dr. Baline V. Houmes, M.D.

Could Modern Medicine Have Saved Abraham Lincoln?

New York, NY – For generations, scholars have debated numerous questions
surrounding the shooting of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth,
including:
Could Lincoln have survived his gunshot wounds with modern medical
care?
Did Lincoln’s doctors do more to harm or help him?
Why were there no guards at Ford’s Theatre?
Was Booth really behind the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln?
Did Booth actually escape after Lincoln’s assassination?

Dr. Blaine V. Houmes, M.D., an emergency physician and former medical
examiner, will attempt to answer those questions when he gives a free
lecture on “The Lincoln Assassination: Myths and Mysteries” Thursday, April
16 at 6:30 p.m. at Federal Hall National Memorial, 26 Wall Street. Dr.
Houmes’ published work has investigated the life of President Lincoln, his
health and the medical aspects of his assassination.

The lecture is being held in conjunction with the special exhibition “
Abraham Lincoln in New York: A Rail Splitter Bicentennial Celebration.”
Visitors may come early to experience the exhibit, which features
never-before-exhibited artifacts, documents and historical memorabilia
telling the Lincoln story.

For more information on this and other programs associated with the
exhibit, which is open to the public through June 30, visit

About Federal Hall National Monument
26 Wall Street was the site of New York City's 18th-century City Hall.
After the Revolution, the Continental Congress met at City Hall. Pierre
L'Enfant was commissioned to remodel City Hall for the new federal
government. The First Congress met in the new Federal Hall, and wrote the
Bill of Rights, and George Washington was inaugurated here as President on
April 30, 1789. When the capital moved to Philadelphia in 1790, the
building again housed city government until 1812, at which time Federal
Hall was demolished. The current structure on the site was built as the
Customs House it later became the U. S. Sub-Treasury until that system was
replaced by the Federal Reserve.

How to Get There: Federal Hall is located at 26 Wall Street in Lower
Manhattan. There are numerous ways to get there using public
transportation. Please visit www.mta.info for more information and
transportation maps.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
