When I say modern times let’s say from the civil war until today.
What are the basis of the treatments ? and what were the advancments we made in medecine in the mean time for such treatments ?
In: Biology
Well for starters, a penetrating arrow in the torso would *very* likely kill you. No antibiotics and no general anesthetics or organ surgery.
Limb hemorrhage? Same thing, almost certainly dead. At best a quick amputation (no anesthetic) of the serious injury and taking chances with bleeding and infection from there.
With the gunshots today, if you’re still alive when you get to the hospital, there’s a good chance they can save you. And most limb injuries can be put back together.
