General Note: An image from Wesley Fishel's photograph collection of two men carrying a person in a stretcher, whose arm is hanging off in a splint. They have just exited the helicopter sitting in the background, and other people appear to be hurrying in the scene behind them. The label on the photograph reads, "A civilian patient, wounded in a Viet Cong attack on his village, arrives at the Da Nang Medical Center by medevac helicopter. As a result of the 'joint utilization program' in which military and civilian medical personnel staff provincial hospitals, the number of patients who have to be transferred to other hospitals by helicopter has been cut nearly in half. (TCB-095 Photo Six, May 1971.)"
