Explanation: In a rather famous incident, Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest just before he was to give a speech to a waiting crowd while running on the Progressive Party ticket during the 1912 presidential election. Instead of canceling the speech or going off to the hospital immediately, he hung around and gave an hour long speech to the waiting crowd before getting medical attention.
