...your otherwise fine June 2 article on Dr. Gimenez Guinea, you said that Manolete died from a ruptured femoral artery. This is not so. My source? Dr. Gimenez Guinea. I've been under his care here for the last 13 days after suffering an 8-in.-deep horn wound given me by a two-year-old animal while practicing. Like Manolete's wound, the horn missed my femoral by a centimeter but stopped short of the cluster of smaller veins and arteries in the groin, which is what did Manolete...
...Middle East, no more than a regiment to Southeast Asia. It would take the Air Force and the Navy together several weeks to move the whole Strategic Army Corps overseas. This was why STRAC's senior officer, Paratroop Major General Robert F. Sink, 53, last week wound up the Army's proud announcements with a tough plea for the Army to get troop-carrier airlift of its own. Cried he: ''These divisions are a bunch of hitchhikers. If we don't have the means of getting transportation from the Air Force or the Navy...
With the bleeding Bienvenida, Surgeon Giménez Guinea wasted no time on such trivia as ribs, tackled immediately the ear-to-armpit wound that had exposed nerves and arteries in the neck. He had no time to prepare the patient for surgery; that is a luxury Giménez Guinea rarely enjoys. He told an assistant to inject antibiotics. Then he went to work with especially sharp, small scalpels with interchangeable blades of razor steel. Don Luis trimmed away dead tissue, sewed the edges of healthy tissue together, dusting the wound with germ-killing sulfa drugs. The most urgent...
...Guinea has saved many a seemingly hopeless case when matadors have been gored in the groin, where the horn often severs the femoral artery-the kind of wound that killed the great Manolete in 1947 in Linares, far from Don Luis's aid. To stanch the gusher-like bleeding from such a wound, standard techniques are too slow and inefficient. Don Luis has perfected a method of applying pressure to the lower belly, just below the point where the femoral arteries branch off. To let the wounds heal, he uses another technique of his own: draining them through...
...Tender Trap. In Chicago, Ronald E. Whitaker stole a billfold from an elderly man, sympathetically complied with the old man's plea that he return it, handed over his own billfold by mistake, wound up with a one-to-three-year prison term after the old man turned it over to police...
