Since the discovery and widespread use of penicillin in the Second
World War, which was a major turning point in 20th century combat
medicine, there have been enormous changes in surgical and nursing
techniques enabling frontline medical teams to save soldiers' lives
and alleviate suffering on the battlefield. The Korean War saw the
first use of helicopters to airlift wounded troops to medical
facilities away from the front line, while the Falklands War, both
Gulf Wars and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan have been
characterised by the introduction of new surgical procedures using
image intensifiers and a trend towards laser treatments. Dr Penny
Starns gives a detailed and insightful account of battlefield
medicine from Korea to Afghanistan.
