Battlefield Surgery

"That leg will have to come off if you want to live - now, hold him down!"

The dawning of the Middle Ages brought with it advances and adventurous forays into the rapidly growing world of medicine and surgery. In the 7th century AD, the Greek physician Paul of Aegina wrote the 'Medical Compendium in Seven Books', a compilation of the medical studies and practises of other scholars, including theories and advanced (for the time) surgical procedures. Although surgery did not take hold for many centuries to come, the techniques discussed and pioneered during the early Middle Ages were used to help bandage up soldiers so they could continue fighting. Rudimentary approaches to amputation, also, were used to remove mangled or infected limbs, although the victim's chances of survival were extremely slim. The surgeon was in the business of patching up warriors; later, if wounds became infected and resulted in death, that was simply none of his concern.
