...hours, working primarily to repair the damage of one bullet that penetrated his stomach, pancreas and colon. They feared bacterial infection from the colon and harm from digestive enzymes flowing from the open pancreas into the abdominal cavity. The other bullet caused only a flesh wound in his left thigh. While his condition remained "very serious" and the prognosis for recovery was described as "guarded," his good physical condition from years of exercise, nonsmoking and almost no drinking was a factor in his favor...
...lungs. Many of these deaths probably could be prevented. The patients may be immobilized because of minor surgery or for other reasons. That lack of movement is the villain; blood that is pooled and stagnating in the legs tends to clot. It has been known for years that thigh-length elastic stockings aid in controlling clot formation. Now, in the Archives of Surgery, a research team at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and at the Philadelphia Veterans Administration Hospital provides confirmation. The investigators used elaborate Doppler ultrasound instruments to measure the rate of blood flow in the legs of volunteers...

Olmsted's tenacity was such that when his thigh was broken in three places by a carriage accident, he insisted on being carried round the park in a litter while he issued his orders to the foremen and struggled to complete, in grass and trees, his "gallery of mental pictures." Though he disapproved of such grand formal gardens...
