Sam Kean Quotes
Confederate Surgeons Usually Performed "circular" Amputations. They Made A 360-degree Cut Through The Skin, Then Scrunched It Up Like A Shirt Cuff. After Sawing Through The Muscle And Bone, They Inched The Skin Back Down To Wrap The Stump. This Method Led To Less Scarring And Infection. Union Surgeons Preferred "flap" Amputations: Doctors Left Two Flaps Of Flesh Hanging Beside The Wound To Fold Over After They'd Sawed Through. This Method Was Quicker And Provided A More Comfortable Stump For Prosthetics. Altogether, Surgeons Lopped Off 60,000 Fingers, Toes, Hands, Feet, And Limbs During The War.
