Gracie, you, as susual, are on the target. This is the essence of the aftermath, not the other thread on this forum with this subject. I might also add the intern of the congresswoman, a 20 year old, whose name excapes me, that accompanied her to the hospital in the ambulance. His act of keeping her up-right to avoid strangling on her own blood immediately after the shot and applying pressure must have been instrumental in her being able to be responsive to the medical staff and allowing them to accomplish what they did. He was very modest in interviews I have seen, but his actions were the first of a chain of actions that are responsible for the optimisim that exists 48 hours later. God bless those affected and the care givers as well.
