On Medical Front

A Wilson medical partnership was initiated when Dr. E. Harlan Wilson 'l5, noted Columbus orthopedist, flew by Clipper to England in January to do a four-months chore as resident surgeon at the American Hospital in Britain, Ltd., of which his older brother, Dr. Philip D. Wilson, chief of the New York Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, is medical director. Dr. Harlan Wilson was one of 50 doctors, nurses and technicians recruited by the New York- headquarters in a newly-inaugurated rotary program that will send a new crop of American surgeons every four months.

Opened in September 1940, the American Hospital in Britain has recently been moved from Basingstoke to the new Churchill Hospital at Oxford. Over 2500 patients were treated during the first year and a half of its existence. "It is hoped," Dr. Charles Bradford, resident medical director, wrote Dr. Harlan Wilson, "that our hospital may be valuable to the American forces that are now gathering in the British Isles in increasing numbers."

Both the Drs. Wilson are graduates of the Harvard Medical School and both are outstanding orthopedic surgeons. Edward Harlan Wilson Jr. is now a freshman at Dartmouth.
