Wednesday, 23 February 1955
Underway through Queen Charlotte Sound
0125 Dr Oishi performed an appendectomy on Briscoe, Thomas (307-155) FN.
...
0515 Appendectomy on Briscoe Thomas (307-1550) FN completed.
At least it was relatively calm, with a sea state of only one. It can get very rough there at that time of year. I don't even want to imagine having surgery with the ship bouncing about with a sea state of seven or eight.
