Getting one’s staff car creamed by a runaway truck is medical treatment?
I don’t think Patton was assassinated, but his death made life a lot easier for Ike & the other generals who regarded him as a loose cannon.
Patton was stable in the hospital. His wife was keeping 24 hour vigil. She goes down stairs to get a cup of coffee and then Lights Out for Patton. Hhmm...I can’t remember if it was in the same hospital that James (oh heck! Joseph McCarthy was right!) Forrestal also expired.
