Amazing wound recovery

One of the things that you lose in a television is time perspective. In the Combat! series, everything on the screen came from the time period from 6 June 1944 (D-Day) to 8 May 1945 (VE Day) - less than a year. And yet the main characters would sustain heavy gunshot wounds and be seen the next episode whole and ready to go. Not likely, but that is the advantage of television.
