  • Title: Neurosurgical notes: World War II.
    Author: Pool JL.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 2000 Mar; 46(3):721-8; discussion 728-9. PubMed ID: 10719869.
    Abstract:
    This concerns my activities as a neurosurgeon in the European Theater of Operations and the North African, Tunisian campaign, during World War II. Action during the Battle of the Bulge came later. Our mobile tent hospital, the 9th Evacuation Hospital, was similar to that depicted in the television show M*A*S*H. To lend flavor to these comments, I have referred to medical and surgical matters in other units as well as our own, mentioned global aspects of the war, and included vignettes of life off-duty. The story begins after induction into the Army Medical Corps as a volunteer in July 1942 and ends with honorable discharge in April 1946.
