I didn’t make that clear. I was told that was Patton’s last words, not Mosby’s.
They had hooks into his cheek bones to deal with the spinal damage sustained in the auto accident.
Again, that is what I was told.
Yes a Scottish surgeon used the hooks attached to his cheek bones and did in fact straighten out his neck.
There then seemed to be a good chance that Patton would survive but a blood clot to the lungs is what did him in.
