Peter D'Onofrio - Medical Advancements in the Civil War
Peter D’Onofrio will be speaking at the American Civil War Museum of Ohio Saturday, June 15th at 1pm. Peter is the President of the Society of the Civil War Surgeons, Inc. The topic is Medical Advancements of the Civil War and will be presented, as him being a surgeon and the audience will be participants.
The Civil War was the first modern war and resulted in the highest number of U.S. casualties per capita of any of our wars as 620,000 men perished, including 360,000 in the North and 260,000 in the South; 25% of those involved died . These casualties exceeded the total of all other wars both before and after the American Civil War and affected, either directly or indirectly, nearly every family in the North and South
While the impact on the U.S. population was obvious, what is not appreciated, even now, is the rapid advances made by American medicine that were stimulated by this conflict. This presentation is an attempt to document those advances, many of which are the basis of techniques and procedures that are used today, and their impact on the subsequent development of American Medicine.
How did they advance medicine under such conditions? How does it relate to our lives today? We will be finding out, as he draws us into the era with his extensive knowledge. This event will be free to the public, thanks to the Ohio Humanities Council of Ohio.
Remember our hours are Wednesday through Saturday Noon - 4 PM!
Sorry, but we no longer accept credit or debit cards.
