He and his assistants* experimented, found no harm done to mothers by draining placental blood immediately upon birth, found-as he announced in this month's Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics-that it can be stored indefinitely and that it is "a safe, constant, efficient and lucrative source of blood for transfusions."
