Saline infusion- an incident in the british red cross hospital, arc-en-barrois, 1915 image: a patient undergoing a saline infusion on a hospital ward in northern france. The wounded man lies in bed propped up on pillows, his taut upper body and tight neck muscles revealing the pain he experiences as the doctor sitting beside him appears to make an incision in his abdomen. Another doctor stands gently but firmly holding the patient's lower arm. A female nurse watches on, standing beside a saline drip. Date: 1915 (First World War).
