Book Description

Excerpt from Surgical Nursing in War The surgical literature of the Great War already includes many scores of valuable and illuminating articles contributed to various periodicals, and a few books. From these voluminous sources, supple mented by letters from the front, it has been thought desirable to collect the lessons and descriptions which are of vital import, that they may be avail able for ready reference by those who contemplate joining the nursing corps of Military Hospitals (or have already done so), as their time is of necessity too limited for the wide reading involved. Useful suggestions have been received from those who have been personally in service at the front, and indebted ness is hereby acknowledged to the valuable work of Major Hull - Surgery in War - which has been freely consulted and quoted in regard to descriptions of methods practised by members of the Royal Army Medical Corps of Great Britain.
