Caring for the wounded in the World War II Pacific Theater posed
serious challenges to doctors and surgeons. The thick jungles,
remote atolls and heavily defended Japanese islands of the Pacific
presented dangers to medical personnel never before encountered in
modern warfare. Sophisticated treatments, including major surgery,
were by necessity far removed from the fighting, requiring front
line medics to do the minimum-often under fire-to stabilize
patients until they could be evacuated. Navy doctors responsible
for thousands of sailors aboard fleets in battle found caring for
the wounded daunting or nearly impossible. Yet to save lives,
medical resources had to be kept as close as possible to the
action. This book details the efforts and innovations of the
doctors, surgeons, corpsmen and medics who worked to preserve life
under extreme and dangerous conditions.
