Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Surgical Treatment of Wounded Men at Advanced Units: An Outline
What an opportunity! What a necessity for each equipping himself as best he can so that he may give of his best to those who deserve it more than ever men did! In so far as we fail to accommodate ourselves to these unavoidable conditions or neglect opportunities of acquiring for ourselves or impart ing to others the special knowledge which will help our wounded men and fail to put that knowledge into practice, so far do we fail in duty to our country. These papers represent, in a modest way, a desire to help. They form a plain unvarnished statement of what a varied experience of three years leads me to think are the best methods of treating the wounded man from a professional point of view. Administration is not dealt with although adminis tration cannot be dissociated. Any attempt to divorce administrative from professional work is fraught with great danger to the success of our calling. If the administrator neglects the advice of his clinical brother his faulty administration may result, during a big battle, in the loss of literally hundreds of lives and of limbs which would other wise have been saved.
