This time period proved to be a significant learning experience, not only for the ailments that were being treated, like trench foot, malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, gonorrhea, and syphilis, but in navigating the language barriers between the medical staff and their patients. New medicines like penicillin were being used, which was a great advancement, but other issues, particularly of anxiety among the soldiers, made the work more complicated. 000042290 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000042290 542__ $$fCopyright Undetermined 000042290 600__ $$aStrohm, John Guy$$010820 000042290 600__ $$aLarsell, Olof, 1886-1964$$010637 000042290 650__ $$aHospitals, Military$$020347 000042290 650__ $$aWorld War II$$035994 000042290 650__ $$aCombat Medics$$014050 000042290 650__ $$aTuberculosis$$027470 000042290 650__ $$aMalaria$$021755 000042290 650__ $$aPenicillins$$023721 000042290 650__ $$aImmersion Foot$$020661 000042290 650__ $$aGonorrhea$$019702 000042290 650__ $$aAnxiety$$014946 000042290 650__ $$aTyphoid Fever$$027525 000042290 650__ $$aSyphilis$$026720 000042290 651__ $$aOregon--Portland$$041692 000042290 651__ $$aKansas--Fort Riley$$041673 000042290 651__ $$aAlgeria$$040884 000042290 651__ $$aTunisia$$041161 000042290 651__ $$aFrance$$040967 000042290 7001_ $$aBurns, Edgar Murray, 1907-$$041751 000042290 791__ $$eIs described by$$tCatalog record$$whttps://librarysearch.ohsu.edu/permalink/01ALLIANCE_OHSU/1do4asu/alma993337001858$$2URL 000042290 8564_ $$9e0387bf3-01d2-45fa-a43a-66469df387d3$$s6024339$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42290/files/UH473.B967n.1945-1979_Burns_History-46th-General-Hospital.pdf 000042290 901__ $$aArchival records are historical in nature and products of the time and society in which they were created.
