Now injuries from explosions, or from being mown down by a car, are likely to be pretty severe, aren't they? The lesson appears to be that if you can get to a hospital alive, no matter how mangled, quacks will be able to keep you alive.

Golden hour, innit. Emergency medicine is very good now, but then it has been for a long time. I remember reading that in the Korean War, if a seriously wounded soldier got to a MASH unit alive, he had a 97% chance of survival.
