...walls are littered with drawings by F. G. Attwood, James Montgomery Flagg, Gluyas Williams, Larz Anderson, and other ex-editors. Their carved signatures may be read in the oaken dining table...
...best fitted to resuscitate people, to bring them out of unconsciousness," insists Dr. Flagg, "is the man who already knows how to put them in." He takes as a personal challenge the fact that over 50,000 people die every year in the U.S. of asphyxiation. For years his Society for the Prevention of Asphyxial Death has been working, despite a lack of funds, for a wider knowledge of resuscitation techniques by laymen and especially doctors...
Systematized Army anesthesia is not the first cause that Dr. Flagg has vehemently embraced. The growing stature and autonomy of U.S. anesthetists is to a large extent a result of his years of untiring research and example. In 1936, mainly at his instigation, the A.M.A. at last formed a committee on asphyxia...
White-bearded Dr. Flagg, 56 and the father of twelve, is the man who brought Lindbergh and Dr. Alexis Carrel (now working for Vichyfrance) together to develop their mechanical heart. He also suggested to aviation engineers the principles (first embodied in T.W.A.'s Stratoliner) on which planes could safely take passengers into high altitudes without asphyxiating them. Asphyxiation is Dr. Flagg's special horror, and he thinks the subject should be combined with anesthesia into the science of pneumatology (Dr. Carrel's word...
About 60% of the 50,000 asphyxial deaths represent newborn babies who never breathe at all or who gasp feebly and then turn blue. Dr. Flagg is famed for his skill in urging the breath of life into the newborn, and he believes that probably 20% of these 30,000 breathless babies could be saved-if 1) anesthetists more often took charge of them, 2) ordinary doctors learned more about the art of resuscitation and anesthesia...
