While the Crimson waited for the Charles to thaw, other crews motored furiously on their warmer waters in preparation for what was supposed to be last Saturday's debacle...
...consultant to the U.S. Army on cold-weather injuries, is a pioneer of the new therapy. Writing in Emergency Medicine, he describes a typical course of treatment. If the victim is still out in the field several hours away from professional help, says Mills, rescuers should quickly attempt to thaw the frostbitten part; one method is to tuck a frozen hand, say, under the rescuer's armpit.
