luthie creeper's video: Gruesome Reality of Amputations in the Civil War

To watch my uncut and uncensored videos- visit my Patreon Page: www.patreon.com/luthluther The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history. The extreme violence between the Northern and Southern states sent a shockwave of sorrow and fear throughout America. It was traditionally estimated that 620,000 soldiers died fighting on the battlefield between 1861 and 1865. However, contemporary historical research suggests that the death toll number is closer to 752,000. In addition to the number of deaths, over 800,000 men went missing or were severely wounded. At the time of the Civil War, battlefield medicine was still in its infancy. This led to many injuries becoming severely infected and many of the injured receiving hasty, dangerous surgeries. In fact, Civil War battlefield surgery was a major cause of death during the war. Many surgeons cared for the wounded right on the battlefield, and many Civil War medics performed amputations and open surgeries during the heat of battle. Furthermore, because field doctors were under massive amounts of stress, they had to perform speedy surgeries that would never meet today’s medical standards. Still, many worthy surgeons didn’t get the recognition they deserved and were ridiculed for their services. This led to tall tales and false details being reported about what exactly took place.
