Few of these surgeons had ever experienced trauma on as vast a scale
as they encountered in the early years of the War. Many of them faltered under the primitive conditions in which they labored
while many excelled in their ability to overcome the challenges of practicing medicine under fire. From this war emerged a
new system of triage and evacuation, surgical techniques and medical disciplines. Disease, the War’s
greatest killer was diminished but not conquered.
