Description
Finding aid for The Werner H. Frietsch, M.D. Collection
(In Dr. Frietsch's own words from his biographical sketch) "I grew up on a 250 acre farm in Schulenburg, TX with 6 brothers and 1 sister. When WWII began there were 4 brothers at the same time overseas fighting in the war. That's unheard of in this day and time. I ended my tour in England in the 55th General Hospital, which was part of the 5th General, Neurosurgical, and Orthopedic serving as an Army Medic. Each hospital had a specific job to do. This hospital was a 1,000 bed facility. The 55th General Hospital was located in Malvern Wells close to Worcestershire. [After the army] I was making my entrance back to college and started June 1, 1946. I received my BS Degree in 2 years and 9 months. I started applying for medical school. Baylor College of Medicine in Houston had 10,000 applicants. I applied in my junior year. In January, 1949 I received a letter from Baylor College of Medicine and started there in September 1949."
