[BILLY D.]

In my readings of those sad times your worst fear was going to a field hospital. Too bad Dr. Lister had not invented antiseptic earlier. Ever wonder where the word Listerene came from?

Of course it is from those times and following contacts/conflicts that our medical corps has evolved into the highly efficient organizations they are today.

That knowledge has also filtered down to the civilian community. Triage treatment was first used on the battlefield.

Another interesting fact, did you ever notice how many doctors were involved in the invention of weapons? Dr. Maynard, Dr. Gatling, to name a couple.
