To a great extent, as June wore on, the wounded from Williamsburg and Seven Pines had died and been buried, or recovered and returned to their regiments, or, in case of amputations, been carried away after awhile by their relatives.
And yet there was a thought behind it holding itself aloof. "But the fact of woman is always denying her theory," he added. "That's what makes her confusing. The fact of her weeps at departures, shell shocks, amputations; grows timid and organizes pacifist societies. It's a case of sex instinct versus the personal complex."
Hitting a man beyond 350 yards, the wounds inflicted by all these bullets are clean cut. They frequently pass through bone tissue without splintering. When meeting an artery the bullet seems to push it to one side and goes around without cutting the blood channel. Amputations are very rare compared with wars of more than fifty years ago.
Only now and then can be heard a subdued sob, or a dying groan; while those who are fully conscious, though suffering excruciating pain, are either engaged in silent prayer or meditation, or reading a Testament or a last letter from loved ones, and patiently awaiting their turn with the surgeon or the nurse. In the most available places tables have been spread for the purpose of amputations.
I have seen a man chat quietly with bystanders while his carotid artery was being tied without the use of chloroform. During the Russo-Turkish war wounded Turks often astonished English doctors by undergoing the most formidable amputations with no other anaesthetic than a cigarette. Hysterical women will inflict very severe pain on themselves merely for wantonness or in order to excite sympathy.
#Pyogenic Osteomyelitis due to Spread of Infection from the Soft Parts.# There still remain those forms of osteomyelitis which result from infection through a wound involving the bone for example, compound fractures, gun-shot injuries, osteotomies, amputations, resections, or operations for un-united fracture.
I had no fear that harm would come of it; for, being so frequently engaged in war, I knew that they had, in a rough way, considerable skill in the treatment of wounds. I had impressed upon them, while probing the wounds, that no force must be used, and that the sole object was to find the exact course the ball had taken. "As to the amputations, they would probably not be attempted.
This table serves no purpose in our inquiry; it obstructs the view, and we will remove it; but the reader understands, of course, that these amputations cannot be performed when business is intended. Now the table snipped off we see those practical parts of the flower that interest us.
Do, then, come to our relief and save us from the horrors of frozen limbs, hospitals and amputations; or first, if you prefer it, pass a morning without overcoat, cap and comforter in my office with the thermometer at zero." In the summer of 1853 repairs were made to the College buildings in the hope of making them again habitable.
The amputations were reserved till the morrow, and the merciful magic of ether was not thought necessary that day, so the poor souls had to bear their pains as best they might.
