Sinopsis
Excerpt from Localisation and Extraction of Projectiles
It involves, of course, close collaboration between the surgeon and the radiologist always and compels the presence of both at every operation. This is an ideal method where time is of no particular moment, but it is not feasible when a large number of casualties have to be dealt with rapidly, as for example at the Casualty Clearing Stations where five or six surgeons may be operat ing at the same time and there is only one X-ray outfit.
Of its successful application in expert hands, the figures of results quoted give the proof. In a series of cases, only 3 were unsuccessfully operated upon.
The description makes the process appear fascinatingly simple, so much so that there is a risk that non-experts might be tempted after reading it to undertake extractions which would be unjustifiable or at least better left alone.
The well-known hypersensibility of those who have suffered from X-ray dermatitis to even a small amount of irradiation should certainly preclude their adopting this procedure.

Excerpt from Localisation and Extraction of Projectiles
The infinite variety of injuries which any war presents to the surgeon gives to military surgery a special interest and importance. The special interest and importance, in a surgical sense, of the great European War lies not so much in the fact that examples of every form of gross lesion of organs and limbs have been seen, for if we read the older writers we find little in the moderns that is new in this respect, but is to be found in the enormous mass of clinical material which has been presented to us and in the production of evidence sufficient to eliminate sources of error in determining important conclusions. For the first time also in any campaign the labours of the surgeon and the physician have had the aid of the bacteriologist, the pathologist, the physiologist, and indeed of every form of scientific assistance, in the solution of their respective problems. The clinician entered upon the great war armed with all the resources which the advances of fifty years had made available. If the surgical problems of modern war can be said not to differ sensibly from the campaigns of the past, the form in which they have been presented is certainly as different as are the methods of their solution. The achievements in the field of discovery of the chemist, the physicist, and the biologist have given the military surgeon an advantage in diagnosis and treatment which was denied to his predecessors, and we are able to measure the effects of these advantages when we come to appraise the results which have been attained.
But although we may admit the general truth of these statements, it would be wrong to assume that modern scientific knowledge was, on the outbreak of the war, immediately useful to those to whom the wounded were to be confided.
