Medicine in the War of 1812
Season 3, Episode 3
Doctors during the War of 1812 faced an uphill battle to save the lives of soldiers damaged by battlefield trauma or ravaged by diseases without known treatments. We often look at medicine before anesthesia or the discovery of germs as barbaric, but Kaitlyn Carter has a different perspective, choosing to see the humanity behind the history in a time when pain, service and heroism had a different meaning than they do today.
