Comments: On May 9, 1953 my brother, Cloise Melvin Crowson,
received a bullet from a sniper. He was driven from
the front to the Hospital but almost bled to death on
the three-hour trip. He underwent a complicated four-
hour operation, requiring 16 blood transfusions. He
undoubtedly would have died if the 45th Hospital had
not been left at Freedom Village.

Comments: I am currently working on a graduate project regarding the medical technology used in various wars throughout US history. I was wondering if anyone could send me some information regarding their experiences, how things were different from wars that preceded Korea. I am especially interested in the advances as compared to WWII, specifically advances in medical technology used/surgeries not previously performed, and the use of helicopters.
