"It was situated in a pretty vile place," Aaron said."The first thing that went through my mind was, is this a salvageable case?"Reagan's bleeding hadn't stopped even after doctors had re-expanded his lung. Given how near the bullet was lodged to his heart, they decided to operate.The air hummed with a quiet intensity, Aaron said. Secret Service agents stood in the room as they wheeled Reagan in and began to pre-breathe the president before inducing anesthesia.
