( ) The picture of the discarded limbs will stay with me for awhile. A deep dive into the medical care for Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. From the many diseases that troops contracted due to lack of nutrition, unhygienic living conditions, and an understanding about germs that hadn't developed as it today yet, this was about four times as many casualties as happened from battle. These are big numbers of deaths. The book goes on to explore development of field hospitals, nursing, and triage. Each chapter has many primary source images and stories from soldiers and others involved providing anecdotal examples for the information in each chapter. There's a lot of content, but it is readable and accessible. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Acclaimed nonfiction writer and Sibert Honor winner Gail Jarrow begins her new series on medical fiascoes with an in-depth look at the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. The Civil War took the lives of more than 600,000 men. Bullet wounds were deadly, but twice as many soldiers died from diseaseâ??pneumonia, diarrhea, typhoid fever, measles, and smallpox. Tens of thousands who survived the war were permanently disabled or disfigured. Yet out of this tragedy came medical progress. Doctors and nurses gained valuable experience treating the injured and sick. Military and medical officials recognized that proper sanitation in camps and hospitals could save lives. Improvements to the ambulance service and hospital system lowered the fatality rate. An expert at blending science and history, Jarrow relies heavily on primary documentsâ??first-person accounts and medical case studiesâ??to reveal the true stories behind the battle against wounds and No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
