Book Synopsis Frozen in Memory by : Jan K. Herman
Download or read book Frozen in Memory written by Jan K. Herman. This book was released on 2005-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For better or worse, Americans have defined military medicine during the Korean War by a novel, a movie, and a long running TV series. But was the Korean War really like M*A*S*H? It was a ferocious war fought in extreme weather conditions, in rugged hilltop trenches, thorugh bombed-out villages and towns, and on land, at sea, and in the air. The war also introduced life-saving innovations, such as helicopters swiftly airlifting wounded soldiers from the battlefield to medical care, and the first large-scale wartime use of antibiotics. Jan K. Herman, author of Battle Station Sick Bay: Navy Medicine in World War II, has assembled a remarkable collection of oral histories from Navy doctors, corpsmen, nurses and patients, bringing to life their war in Korea.

Book Synopsis Battle Station Sick Bay by : Jan K. Herman
Download or read book Battle Station Sick Bay written by Jan K. Herman. This book was released on 1997. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling oral history, Navy medical personnel from World War II recall their experiences and the role Navy medicine played in the great crusade. Physicians, nurses, and corpsmen report the way it was, matter-of-factly, with pride and pathos, but not without humor. These are the veterans whose skills were tested at Pearl Harbor, Corregidor, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Readers will appreciate as never before the single-minded purpose to which the men and women of Navy medicine dedicated themselves as they healed the wounded aboard vessels under kamikaze attack, in POW camps, and still other appalling circumstances. Former pharmacist's mate Wheeler Lipes describes the time, mythologized by Hollywood and the press, when he removed a shipmate's appendix while his submarine cruised submerged in enemy waters. Dr. Henry Heimlich reveals how a failed chest surgery performed on a wounded Chinese soldier later inspired the lifesaving maneuver that has made his name a household word throughout the world. Cardiologist Dr. Howard Bruenn remembers Franklin D. Roosevelt's last moments at Warm Springs. Stanley Dabrowski recalls the confusion and terror at Iwo Jima as he, a pharmacist's mate, treated his first sucking chest wound under fire. Dr. Ferdinand Berley tells about hearing, while a POW, the Japanese emperor announce the war's end over the radio.
