...writer is open to criticism on the score of not delineating sharply his secondary Characters.

...result of two relatively new procedures in the practice of medicine, the staff of London's Middlesex Hospital last week was able to report perfection of a slow and safe method of transfusing blood. One of those helpful procedures is the preservation of human blood by the addition of substances to keep it in a clear, unclotted, fluid condition.

He pats the patient's head, glides his right palm down the patient's neck, slyly presses his thumb, first against the tip of the mastoid bone ("Do you feel any pain? Does it hurt you when I press?"), then against the styloid process just below the ear, "Do you feel any pain? Does it hurt...
