And what about the doctors who saw a big wound on the backside of his head? I don't think those people will lie about it, because on the autopsy photo's it doesn't show a large wound on the back of his head.

In 1988 the American Public Television science series NOVA took four of the doctors who treated Kennedy to the National Archives to view the autopsy photos. Their reactions (as recorded here):

Quote:
Dr. Richard Dulaney
I don't see evidence of any alteration of his wound in these pictures from what I saw in the emergency room.
Quote:
Dr. Marion Jenkins
Nothing that I've seen would make me think it had been changed from what happened that day.
Quote:
Dr. Robert McClelland
I find no discrepancy between the wounds as they're shown very vividly in these photographs and what I remember very vividly . . .
Quote:
Dr. Paul Peters
Looking at these photos, they're pretty much as I remember President Kennedy at the time.
A man named Billy Harper found the backside of his skull in the grass.

The Harper Fragment was most likely from Kennedy's parietal bone, on the top and side of his skull.

that looks like a big wound on the back of his head.

It's on the top and side, not the back. See here, and look at the House Select Committee drawing, which is the most accurate.
