dark men age
...No one died from infection under Keen. ...He (Keen) began to chronicle the results in statistical articles. He was threatened with expulsion from the Pennsylvania Medical Association.....This was in the 1890's....Finally was accepted as the greatest surgeon in the US. The old man told me - and he started to cry...'I nearly went under. I was nearly shut off.
dark giving age
Finally there was one open-minded surgeon in the great Pennsylvania General Hospital. He said, 'Let us give this young fellow a chance.' So they let him operate.
crazy dark opportunity
...He went to Scotland and studied under Lister...("Lister was persecuted by the British Medical Association. He was threatened with having his license revoked.") Yet in Lister's hospital virtually no one died as a result of operations because Lister had developed a carbolic acid wash and disinfectant. Dr. Keen came back from Scotland...He was referred to as a crazy Listerite.....He was denied an opportunity to practice in every hospital in Philadelphia.

I spent a part of ...1923 with...Dr. W.W. Keen...In the ..Civil War....he was a surgeon...and had seen many men die from suppuration of wounds after he had operated. ...He would hold the sutures in his teeth and sharpen his knife on the sole of his boot, after he had raised up his boot from the muddy ground. That was the accepted practice at the time.

We go on the assumption in the Senate that foreign relations are too important to be left to the diplomats...this question (on a novel cancer cure) is too important to leave purely to doctors...

There's really no smoking gun. I'd like to blame it on climate change or global warming, but I can't.

People that like snow, need to get out there and play in it.
falling ground months night rain serious soak three
That's three months of rain falling in one night, and there's no way the ground can soak that up. There will be serious runoff.
air almost bare colder degrees energy fresh ground snow turns
That's true. fresh snow will keep the temperatures 10-15 degrees colder than if it were bare ground. (It is) almost like the ground is being air conditioned. The sun's energy heats the ground, which in turns heats the air.

I would imagine they would go higher, but it is hard to say.
bottom found melts snow vaguely weather
One of the things I found vaguely interesting, as a weather geek, is that the snow actually melts from the bottom up.
