Less purely fundamental work has found itself subjected to similar ill-treatment. The composer deBreville wrote of his colleague Chausson: "He had no reason to fear or avoid vulgarity for he knew not what it was." And then the legions of Hollywood score composers came along and bled Franck, Chausson and company for all they were worth. It takes a pure mind not to find traces of "movie-music" in Chausson. But Chausson is not responsible for what happened; nor are the worshippers of the African jungles or of Oceania responsible for what became of their religious expression...
...attached explanation pointedly notes that many unfortunate patients bled to death before fibrinogen was available, goes on to make its point: "It is extremely expensive to prepare, because to treat an average patient it requires blood from approximately 25 paid professional donors and more than three months of careful processing and testing by highly trained technicians. Because this is a truly lifesaving product, we felt we must, in all conscience, make it available. It was not up to us to decide that $50, $100, $200 or even more (depending upon the amount of fibrinogen needed) is too high a price...

The M.D. guinea pigs submitted to being bled for a variety of tests, underwent blood pressure readings, electrocardiograms, stethoscoping and chest X rays. The object: to raise the standard of medical care for physicians themselves...
...orange-sized lump soon began to bloat her abdomen. When her doctor ordered emergency surgery. Dr. Walter A. Reese at Ohio's Middletown Hospital operated at once. He found a hemorrhage in a kidney that had apparently been displaced from birth. Swiftly, because the patient otherwise would have bled to death, Surgeon Reese removed the kidney. Despite massive transfusions, Mrs. Lowman lost so much blood during the operation that she "died" on the table. After her heart had stopped for four minutes, artificial respiration and more transfusions were needed to bring it back to life. Already qualifying...
