109 The Civil War: Seeing the Elephant - Death and Dying in the Civil War

The great leveler in the Civil War, or any war for that matter,
is getting wounded or killed on the battlefield. In this episode
we focus on what was going through a soldier's mind as they
prepared for battle. We also discuss the medical establishment
and how they handled wounded, and preventing disease. While we
tend to see Civil War medicine through the lens of the 21st
Century, making the 1860s seem primitive, in fact, the medical
establishment made great strides in trauma care. It is a
difficult topic to talk about, but necessary. Take a listen!
