From the timeline on page 253:
1944 - Army Medical Corps authorize Rochester to study polonium exposure
on humans (Moss, et al, 196)
April 10, 1945 - The first human plutonium injection occurs in Oak Ridge; three others were “approved” for Chicago, Berkeley/San Francisco, and Los Alamos by Dr. Friedell at Oak Ridge (under Langham‟s instruction), Hamilton, and Warren. (Moss, et al, 195)
April 26, 1945 - Second human plutonium injection takes place in a 68-year old man at Billings Hospital in Chicago (Moss, et al, 197).
May 14, 1945 - Third person injected with plutonium at the University of California Hospital in San Francisco (Moss, et al, 197).
October 1945-July 1946 - Eleven patients were injected with plutonium at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY; this included seven men and four women
ranging in age from 18 years through 68 years old. The 18-year old died approximately 1.5 years later (Moss, et al, 205).
