RE: Medicine during the American Civil War. Amputation anyone?
Nice post, and those are some pretty realistic displays they have! I can't help but wonder how much alcohol I'd consume right before knowing that I was going to lose a limb 😳
Yeah! During the Civil War there were cone shaped funnels put over the patient's face that had a rag at the back soaked in chloroform. Not sure if that's much better....
