Civil War Medicine Challenges and Triumphs by Alfred Jay Ballet, M.D. is a complete history of medicine in the Civil War. It shows how after the first year, medical teams of both the North and the South delivered care and produced survival rates better than the civilian physicians of the time or European practitioners in subsequent wars. In the face of devastating shortages of medical supplies and equipment, Civil War surgeons organized an ambulance corp, a field hospital system, and large military hospitals. The author presents a balanced narrative and challenges outdated images of Civil War doctors and nurses.
Chapters include; Evolution of Battlefield Surgery, Civil War Medicine in Context, Civil War Hospitals, Learning to Treat Wounds, Wound Infections, Treating Disease, Prison Camps, Epidemic Diseases in Recruits, and more.
