About this Event
Learn how doctors and nurses faced the challenges of limited knowledge, rudimentary tools, and battlefield conditions as they worked to save lives during the war. From amputations and battlefield surgeries to the origins of modern medical practices, Kenosha Civil War Museum Curator, Doug Dammann, will uncover the innovations, struggles, and courage of those who treated the wounded. This eye-opening discussion offers a glimpse into the resilience of both patients and practitioners during one of the most challenging periods in American medical history.
