Book Description
Excerpt from The New York Dental Journal, Vol. 5: March, 1862 A physician would not care to be treated with essays upon the dry rot; neither would the scientific subscriber to a mineralogical journal desire information upon the subject of Polypi of the Larynx; yet we have seen in some of the dental journals, articles, scissored from other periodicals, as little connected with the science of dentistry as an article upon squaring the circle would be with the profession of a horse jockey. It has been, and will be, the design of the new york dental journal, to publish nothing in its pages that shall appear in other journals - except as copied - and excepting also, reports of meet ings, which are, of course, Open to all. If we scissor, we shall try and scissor matters having some connection with the science we are seeking to advance, and the profession we are trying to elevate.

Book Description
A profound and insightful investigation into how the American Civil War transformed modern medicine. At the start of the Civil War, the medical field in America was rudimentary, unsanitary, and woefully underprepared to address what would become the bloodiest conflict on U.S. soil. However, in this historic moment of pivotal social and political change, medicine was also fast evolving to meet the needs of the time. Unprecedented strides were made in the science of medicine, and as women and African Americans were admitted into the field for the first time. The Civil War marked a revolution in healthcare as a whole, laying the foundations for the system we know today. In Healing a Divided Nation, Carole Adrienne will track this remarkable and bloody transformation in its cultural and historical context, illustrating how the advancements made in these four years reverberated throughout the western world for years to come. Analyzing the changes in education, society, humanitarianism, and technology in addition to the scientific strides of the period lends Healing a Divided Nation a uniquely wide lens to the topic, expanding the legacy of the developments made. The echoes of Civil War medicine are in every ambulance, every vaccination, every woman who holds a paying job, and in every Black university graduate. Those echoes are in every response of the International and American Red Cross and they are in the recommended international protocol for the treatment of prisoners of war and wounded soldiers. Beginning with the state of medicine at the outset of the war, when doctors did not even know about sterilizing their tools, Adrienne illuminates the transformation in American healthcare through primary source texts that document the lives and achievements of the individuals who pioneered these changes in medicine and society. The story that ensues is one of American innovation and resilience in the face of unparalleled violence, adding a new dimension to the legacy of the Civil War.
