He treated Lieutenant Edward Revere Osler, who was fatally wounded during the third battle of Ypres. Lieutenant Osler was the son of Sir William Osler. A pioneer of brain surgery, he was the first exclusive neurosurgeon and the first person to describe Cushing's disease. Cushing developed many of the basic surgical techniques for operating on the brain. This established him as one of the foremost leaders and experts in the field.

Inscription reads: Mr. Wilson: I consider it a personal privilege to know you, personally. Warmest wishes, Ed. This biographical novel is the exciting story of the many forgotten heroic Hospital Corpsmen of the Navy. Chief Edelmann experienced the same nerve-wracking emotions, the same devotional communion with men described in Battle Cry and From Here to Eternity. But this book is more than just another war story. It is a revealing and detailed exploration of the forces that keep fear-ridden men going in the face of constant danger. This book is based on the premise that the true horror of war can never be fully understood except by those who have actually lived through holocaust, and felt the terrors of imminent death upon them. It is an effort to bring the lay reader closer to the point of understanding war than one has ever seen before. The author had permission to use the actual names of some of the heroes of the war.

Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland: U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1998. Third Edition (rev. 1.0). Wraps. [10], 121, [28], [8] pages plus three fold-out charts. Glossary of Medical Terms. The purpose for this handbook is to serve as a concise pocket-sized manual that will guide medical personnel in the prophylaxis and management of biological casualties. It is designed as a quick reference and overview, and is not intended as a definitive text on the medical management of biological casualties. During Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield it became obvious that the threat of biological attacks against our soldiers was real, and that the Army could do more to educate its medical professionals about how to prevent and treat biological warfare casualties. Training efforts were significantly intensified following increased incidents and threats of domestic terrorism. This edition represents a snapshot in time as to the state of knowledge, state of practice, and the state of the art between the Persian Gulf Wars and the Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
