Letter from Howard Walter Florey to A N Drury, Medical Research Council, London School of Hygiene, Keppel Street No lack of data on shock if observations can be made - is continuing work on decerebrate cats and effect of stimulating nerves - worth having clinical observations on severe shock with injured limbs - comments on this - wonders if immobilisation of limbs in plaster before debridement might be useful procedure in resuscitation - is enclosing letter from Mills which emphasizes that blood taking is not a job for the untrained - annoyed at Ministry of Health's refusal to provide adequate personnel - expect 'voluntary labour' - willing to urge Sanders, and Barnes to give up research to do blood work but Ministry should not expect research funds to be used for blood transfusion expenses. 12 September 1940
