Abstract
Over the course of the last century notable advancements have been made in the area of medical science. In addition to improving the technology available for use in medicine, professionals have come to realize the importance of basic hygiene as a means for infection control. As such, the quality of medical care has improved drastically in recent years. Interestingly, the progress that has been achieved in this area would not be possible without an historical understanding of the problems of medical care in the past. With the realization that understanding the history of medical care is important to understanding current practices in this field, there is a clear impetus to examine medical practices of the past such that a more integral understanding of historical discourse in the area can be understood. Using this as a basis for investigation this research considers what has been written about medical practices during the civil war.
