Grades 7-12: Blood, Sweat & Tears - Civil War Medicine

Program Description		In this program we describe the horrors of the battlefield and the added horrors of the battlefield aid station and surgery. Doctors were not well trained and in most cases speed was of essence if the soldier lived or died. Simple bullet wounds would turn deadly without the proper care. If the soldier lived and needed additional medical care, in most cases, he was sent to several large military hospital from new York to Washington, DC. We instruct the new medical students on 1860's hospital care located at Clarysville General Hospital in Maryland. Here over 30,000 soldiers from the Union and Confederate armies were seen. You will learn the terminology and basic practices and then given an actual Civil War medical case of a soldier that you are responsible to treat.
