The first bullet struck an arm, the second bullet struck his jaw and neck, and the third bullet missed him—and wounded the woman with whom he was speaking; the wounds felled him, unconscious.[68] Fearing in-hospital assassins, Lenin was delivered to his Kremlin apartment; physicians decided against removing the bullets—lest the surgery endanger his recovery, which proved slow.

He didn't go to hospital, he and his minders were very worried about the potential for other attacks. He was driven to his apartment in the Kremlin, and after his wife and sisters examined the wound, two surgeons were sent for. The surgeons were: Professors A Rozanov and W.M. Mints, they conducted the surgery in the Kremlin.
