...battle he had 68 cases of chest and abdominal wounds-right down his alley. The portable took care of them so fast that no serious peritonitis developed. They were only a small part of the wounded. Most of the cases were less dangerous- arm, leg, back or buttock wounds. There was only one amputation. Major Swinton's portable had to dig four wells on their bit of dry land before they found a place that was not full of dead Japs...
...believed to reduce brain inflammation as well as build up a patient's strength. In four or five days the fever usually abates. The patient then is given blood from a survivor of the disease-by direct transfusion, by a hypodermic injection into the muscle of a buttock, or in the form of blood serum. Professors Howard Anderson McCordock and Walter Joseph Siebert of Washington University, who led in developing this blood treatment, last week admitted that they do not yet know whether it does any good.

His closed eyes bulge under blue lids; his puffy face is green. He has torn away the bandage, his fingers pluck at his curly black hair that is clotted with blood and dirt, they pluck at the rim of the wound. His torn brain pulses, partly exposed-like a red brown overcrusted cushion filling and deflating in frantic recurrence. . . . His head is a black lump with bloodstreams...
