Plastic Surgeons' Offer To France
LONDON. Fri. (Noon)—The British plastic surgeons, Sir Archibald Mclndoo and Mr E. T. Moore, await official French acceptance of their offer to treat in England the 14 miners most badly burned in the Forbach disaster on January 10. Fourteen beds at a hospital in East Grinstead, Surrey, await the Frenchmen. PLASMA FLOWN Meanwhile 1001 bof plasma which France lacks, has been flown from London to Metz to enable doctors on the spot to treat the injured. Mr Moore who returned to London on January 16 from Metz said: “We inspected 23 survivors of the disaster, suffering from burns and other injuries, and generally assessed the situation.
“We found that although the French doctors had done a wonderful job with the equipment they had, they lacked up-to-date facilities which we have at the East Grinstead centre, and the experience which the treating of burned RAF crews brought us in wartime.” Sir Archibald Mclndoe is a New Zealander.
