A new transfusion method by Dr. George W Crile was shown at Seney Hospital Brooklyn described by a surgeon present. The procedure avoids foreign bodies in blood flow, tying a vein end and placing the donor artery to contact the vessel lining to prevent clotting. A six year old boy, run over by a wagon, received his mother’s blood but died four hours later from extensive injuries despite the transfusion.
