Sunday is the feast day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Don’t get discouraged if when looking around you, you feel that someone is fairing better than you, when maybe they are not trying to do what is right as much as you think you are, because—.

SOON after V-E Day, Col. Edward r>. Churchill, surgical consultant of the Allied Mediterranean forces, toured six German military hospital areas and reported his findings. The report is most significant in the light of efforts to make medicine the servant of politics in America. Comments on the report are here reprinted by permission of Collier’s, the National Weekly. “As we all know, American doctors' care of wounded in this war has been and continues phenomenal as regards its recordbreaking percentages of cures and its development of new techniques and remedies. There was considerable expectation that the German doctors . . . would have some pretty phenomenal achievements of their own to report. . . but Colonel Churchill did not find them. Fatal “HIS over-all concluApathy sion .. . was that German handling of wounded was about 20 years behind the American procedure. Going into details, he reported that German army doctors as a rule just casually passed up badly wounded men on the assumption that they were going to die anyway,-where-as our doctors fight to the last gasp for every wounded man’s life, and frequently win. . . . ‘>“As for professional pride in pulling off near-miracles or cure or amelioration, such pride just was not in the bulk of German military physicians and surgeons.

. . . They were victims of apathy and lack of ambition which would enrage a typical American doctor. This is a sad backslide from Germany’s proud position as world leader in medicine and surgery in the pre-Hitler days. Lessons “ARE there any lessons For Us in it for us? It began to happen soon after Hitler saddled his brand of totalitarianism on Germany. It seems reasonable to conclude that it happened because Hitler saddled Nazi totalitarianism on Germany. ... In Nazi philosophy, your race and politics matter far more than your brains and talents. “You might be a brilliant physician or surgeon or research scientist, but if you were a Jew or an anti-Nazi of any description, you had to get out of Germany if you could, ... go to a concentration camp if you couldn’t get out. Thus Hitler and his crew decimated German science. Their master-race convictions, too, led logically to . . . the use, in sdme concentration camps, of humans of ‘inferior’ breed as guinea pigs for . . . laboratory experiments. “Thq lesson in the German experience seems clear enough.... There is no substitute for a free, bold and inquisitive medical profession or for generously financed and expertly staffed medical research, carried on year-in and year-out. It is devoutly to be hoped that the lesson of the German, medical collapse will not be lost on us.”
