查爾斯‧古提奧 (Charles
J. Guiteau) 於1881年7月2日對加菲爾總統 (President
Garfield) 開槍
在接下來的幾個星期裡，外科醫生一直想要找出子彈在總統背部的確實位置。就連亞歷山大‧葛拉罕‧貝爾都發明一個金屬探測器，想要幫忙。很不幸的，那顆子彈深深的陷入總統的體內，所以金屬探測器也無法找到確實的位置。更不幸的是，當時手術室並沒有被完全消毒。於是，因為醫生沒洗手就碰觸總統的傷口，使傷口遭到感染，詹姆士‧加菲爾總統才因此死亡。
Over the next few weeks, surgeons tried to locate the bullet in the president's back. Even Alexander Graham Bell tried to help by inventing a metal detector. Unfortunately for the president, the bullet was imbedded so deeply in his body that the metal detector could not locate it. Even more unfortunate was that the importance of sterilization in the operating room hadn't been realized yet. It was the infection, caused by doctors probing the president's wound with unwashed hands, that eventually killed James A. Garfield.
