Show THE PAGE TWO WEEKLY NEWS Blood Plasma, Sulfonamides and Organization of Medical Services Insure Prompt Treatment of Wounded Men. By BAUKIIAGE News Analyst and Commentator. babies. So I said: "Hope for a light wound and you'll hope for the best." Of course, nobody would try to follow such advice but my friend got the wound (and a medal for bravery too) and now he's back in civvies again. He doesn't like what the Jap bullet did to his leg for he'll play no more tennis or handball but his wife has a live, if lame, husband and his children have something beside a picture and a piece of ribbon to call "daddy." When I gave that sage advice, I didn't know how smart I was. "The wounded soldier In this global war, though he is exposed to almost every health hazard known to man, still has a better chance of surviving and returning safely home than ever before," says MaJ. Gen. of Norman Kirk, surgeon-generthe army. The general gave three reasons: first, the use of blood plasma to avoid shock and hemorrhage; second, the use of sulfonamides to combat infection; and third, the mobility and organization of the medical services which insure prompt and efficient medical and surgical treatment. near as effective as modern treatment. The army estimates that 80 to 90 per cent of the wounded get first-aitreatment within an hour of being wounded. Ships are well equipped, the larger ones as well as a hospital. d The man with a not too serious wound, and that is by far the majority of cases (amputations are included), has a splendid chance for recovery and a resumption of his natural existence in civil life when he is discharged. In two categories this war has been harsher than any preceding. There is a greater proportion of killed in action to wounded. Also the mental casualties are higher in the present war. Careful efforts have been made to screen out those showing characteristics indicating they are unable to stand up under the mental strain of modern warfare. More might have been held out of service if the psychiatrists had been able to carry out their plans. They would have been able to do so if there had been as thorough an understanding of that branch of medical science as there will be after the war. And because of that fact, more of the mental cases will be restored to normal. The reason for the increased num. her of mental cases is variously explained: our troops have endured longer periods of offensive action than in the last war; the increased fury of modern warfare; the domination of the machine, and also, to some degree, the complications of civilian life which encourage neurotic conditions. The science of warfare has moved boots. forward with seven-leagu- e Killing has become a mass production affair.
