:14:00
- You saw him. He's still alive?
- He was, yes, sir.
:14:12
I'm Larson's squadron commander.
How is he?
:14:14
A concussion, possibly skull fracture.
:14:16
Also, the x-rays showed a dislocated
vertebra pressing on the spinal cord here.
:14:20
It's a problem of whether
to operate now or wait.
:14:22
I don't wanna be insistent,
but we're wasting valuable time.
:14:25
- What'll you do for him?
- Does he have family in Honolulu?
:14:27
- No.
- We're his friends.
:14:29
We haven't time to worry about that.
:14:31
Allison's just published a complete
record of over 300 cases of cord injury.
:14:34
Each single case that recovered
was operated at once.
:14:37
Every minute the pressure was unrelieved
lessened the chances of recovery.
:14:40
- What more can I say?
- Perhaps you're right. Come along.
:14:49
Sponge. Sponge.
:14:54
Scalpel.
:15:03
Retractor.
:15:05
Breathing has stopped.
Pulse is getting very weak.
:15:50
- Sticky, isn't it?
- Yeah.
:15:58
That much injury,
there never was a chance.
