Resum

Surgery is the Child of War. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the study of arrow wound treatment. This book reveals how the physicians and surgeons of the past were not quacks or poorly trained butchers, but skilled and educated men who made many innovations in their treatment of arrow wounds. -- Kevin Goodman is an independent researcher and writer. His research interests include surgery and surgical techniques from the ancient to the Renaissance with a focus upon battlefield wound treatment (in particular arrow wounds); the re-creation of surgical tools from the past; the role of the physician during outbreaks of bubonic plague; and the thirteenth century Physicians of Myddfai and early dentistry.
