November 3, 2012 9:00 am.- 4:30 p.m. duPont Library at Stratford Hall
The amputated limbs, shattered bodies and the photographs of battlefield dead are familiar images of the carnage of the Civil War. No other American conflict, on our soil, has exacted such a toll of human suffering. However, what is far less known, are the medical and surgical advances made during this time, and how those emerging methods still resonate and enhance our current practical medical procedures. Some of the topics to be covered in this one-day symposium are: the emergence of modern emergency room methodologies, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the Civil War soldier, African Americans in medicine during the Civil War era, and an overview of Civil War medical practices. This important symposium seeks to add to our growing understanding of this great and tragic American event.
The symposium fee is $75.00. Early registration is recommended. This program is free to Friends of Stratford (FOS). Please contact 804-493-8919 formembership information only.
