They replaced Matthew's bandages with new ones and administered a shot of morphine. They also assigned a nurse to be on call at all times.
In exchange, Dr. Hebra gave Shire a long list of supplies and personnel needed at the field hospital:
The supplies included tents, beds, blankets, bandages, medical cotton, tourniquets, hemostatic powder, morphine, etc.
In addition to doctors and nurses, they also needed cleaners, caregivers, cooks, helpers...
Staring at the list, Shire finally understood why the field hospital was on the verge of collapse — they were almost working with a hundred-pound stone suspended by a hair.
Shire assigned Joseph to purchase supplies in Paris, while Dejoka volunteered to organize the personnel.
Although Joseph was reluctant to leave Matthew's side, the thought that these supplies were equally urgent for Matthew made him agree without hesitation.
