U. S. Soldiers Get
Best Medical Care
In World History
Camn Robinson. Ark. (IB The
American soldier goes into battle
today with the assurance that,
should he be wounded, he will be
treated by the greatest medical
machine the world has ever
known a machine which has
kept alive 97 out of every 100
casualties reaching a forward hos
pital. .
That Is the observation of Maj.
Lester Samuels, army medical
corps, now on the surgical staff
of the regional hospital here,
after service in the European the
ater. The handsome, be-mustached
native of England came to the
United States in 1927 as a lecturer
of the British Empire Cancer Re
search Foundation, and remained
here, becoming an American citi
zen. He returned to England dur
ing this war as a medical officer
and accompanied Gen. George S.
Patton's Third army in the Euro
pean invasion.
- Unsurpassed By Any Army
"From my observation as a sol
dier in the British army during
the last war, and an officer in the
American army in this war, the
surgeon general of the United
States army has built up the
greatest "medical machine ever
known," Maj. Samuels said. "No
soldier in any army has a greater
or more complete coverage of
medical care than the United
States soldier."
He said that in comparison, the
difference between the medical
service in World War I and World
War II, notwithstanding all recent
medical advances, is "unbeliev
able." "The surgeon general's meth
ods in the movement of casualties
from the battlelines to base hos
pitals have been so intricately
worked out that not a moment is
lost in caring for patients, even
to complete operations," Samuels
stated. "During no part of that
journey which is extremely rap-,
id is the patient without expert
medical care."
The medical' officer said that
outstanding surgical achieve-,
ments of this war whereby 97
out of every 100 casualties reach
ing a forward hospital remain
alive are solely due to the "ex
treme care and sagacity shown in
the medical department's prepa
rations for evacuations.":
Maj. Samuels said the medical
corps should not receive all the
credit for this achievement, and
declared.that a great share pf the
credit belongs to the army nurses.
Nurses' Job Outstanding
"The greatest single item which
struck me in my service overseas
was the tremendous job done by
the army nursing corps," the
major said. "These girls took all
that came their way with a
smile."
Maj. Samuels was first in the
public limelight in January, 1944,
when a presidential order recalled
him while he was preparing to
embark for overseas and sent
him to the bedside of a young
woman suffering "from what
threatened to be a fatal attack
of hiccoughs.
