Description
Wound man, flesh tinted weapons colored, mid 15th century. A man with wounds from many different kinds of weapons. In the absence of antiseptics and anesthetics, the accepted medical practice was for surgeons to complete their work as quickly as physically possible. Military surgeons were generally more experienced than their civilian counterparts, but post-operative infection often killed patients.
