Abstract

The history of medicine is inextricably linked to conflict. Man has waged and continues to wage war, but besides the destruction and human tragedy, war often brings clinical advances, innovative practices, and patient treatment protocols that are often cascaded into civilian practice. Both civilian and military planners should be cognizant of the bloody lessons learned from the battlefield and ensure that this hard-won experience is harnessed, understood, and translated into advantageous outcomes for future casualties.
