WWII Medic

Research and Reproductions for Reenacting

WWII Medic.com Announcement:

After a fair period of debate, I will be putting the plasma bottle business on hiatus effective July 07, 2008 at 1200 PST. At the end of July I am moving to Tempe, Arizona and felt that it was appropriate that the plasma bottles did not follow.

Q&A:

Q: Can I still order a plasma bottle kit?
A: You may continue to place orders, with PayPal payment, up to July 07, 2008 at 1200 PST. All payment must be recieved by this time because the bottles will be shipped out that day. Sometime during July 08 I will no longer have access to the materials as they will be in storage.

Q: What will happen to your stuff?
A: Sometime during July 08, my materials will be placed into storage. If you are interested in purchasing all my materials, please contact me directly. I have several bottles with hangers, stoppers, a fair number of glass filters, and a fair amount of latex tubing. I do not have any ready-to-go inventory. I will be able to provide assembly instructinos to the purchaser.

Q: When might you sell plasma bottles again?
A: I may consider selling again if conditions are right and there is demand. This is likely to be at least a year or more in the future if ever.

Q: Will you tell me how you made your plasma bottles?
A: I will address specific questions if you email me.

Q: What is going to happen to this website?
A: I plan on retaining the domain name (wwiimedic.com) and it will likely stay exactly like this for some time. If you have any ideas on how it may be developed, send me an email, I’m always interested.

Any other questions, email me.

World War II represented astounding increases in military medicine. Invention of dried plasma, penicillin, sulfa drugs as well as increases in medical knowledge and practices allowed the medical corps to drastically increase the survival odds of wounded soldiers. In WWII the United States Medical Corps would successfully save the lives of 565,861 US soldiers.

WWII Medic is designed to assist individuals in the reenacting and living history community who are interested in honoring the service that the medical corps provided during the Second World War. The main focus of the site will be articles that members can write explaining one particular aspect of the WWII Medic*. Additionally reproduction paperwork and other items will be available as a free download or for purchase.
