The 19th C. was really an explosive time of learning & new knowledge in medicine as well as other fields, due in part to the industrial revolution. Sadly, many of the advances in surgery (in any century) have come out of wars & battlefield surgery. I'm thinking of Civil War surgery in this case. [WARNING: Graphic descriptions and photos may be unsettling to some.]

This whole topic (19th C. medical history) is fascinating, but it's also kind of OT. Should it be moved to another thread/forum?
