If I remember right, Reagan was angry with this guy because he thought he was responsible for the pain he was feeling, thinking he was injured being pushed into the limo. It was actually the wound from the bullet that was causing discomfort.

I read the book "Rawhide Down" which is the best book on the Reagan assassination attempt I've read (though I haven't read the new one from "Killing" Bill O'Reilly yet).
I do not remember it being mentioned that Reagan was upset with Jerry Parr. In fact, a few months later, Reagan arranged a meeting with Parr to congratulate him for a job well done. When Parr walked into the Oval Office, Reagan quipped "You aren't going to throw me over that couch, are you?"
Reagan always had a great sense of humor.

You remember correctly. But Reagan got over his anger quickly when he learned that Jerry Parr had saved his life. He also altered the course of history.
I'm sure they will have a happy reunion in paradise.

IIRC, Reagan thought Parr shoved him so hard it broke his ribs.
