Healthcare and Women in the Civil War

Problems of the War Greatest killer in the war was not a bullet- disease & infection killed over 220,000! (140,000 died in action!) Antiseptics (germ-killing drugs) & anesthetics (painkillers) were unknown. Doctors killed more than they helped! Hospitals were filthy “slaughterhouses” where amputations were commonly done with dirty instruments & patients endured surgery by “biting the bullet”

Civil War Healthcare

Civil War Healthcare
