Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on the Surgery of the War in the Crimea: With Remarks on the Treatment of Gunshot Wounds No account of the surgical results of the war in the Crimea has as yet appeared, the only attempt to supply the desideratum being, so far as the author knows, some papers contributed by himself in 1855-56 to the Edinburgh Medical Journal. These being written hurriedly from camp, were of course unrevised by the writer when going through the press, hence the existence in them of many errors; while some of their statistics, although carefully compile by the authorities in camp, have been found, by comparison at home, to be inaccurate. However, as these statistics were supposed to represent the results obtained during the entire war, while those now published only refer to the latter half, it is not improbable that they are more nearly correct than they thus appear to be. It is, therefore, thought that the following outline may not be unacceptable to the profession. It was printed several months ago, but its publication was delayed, in order to obtain the obvious advantages afforded by the government statistics.
