During World War 1, the soldiers that were injured would go to a field hospital and undergo surgery (which normally meant amputating limbs) or they would tell them there was nothing they could do. For instance when a soldier was deafened by a shell attack, there was nothing a nurse could do about that.
During the American Civil War , medical treatment was crude where amputations were done without the benefit of anesthesia and there were more who died from disease than through warfare .
The Vietnam War was a conventional war; it did not involve nuclear weapons, so there was no poisoning of the atmosphere from radiation or nuclear fallout. As far as medical treatments for personnel encountered during the war; US Military Medical Personnel conducted medical treatment on nearly all people that came into contact with US military personnel, in the war zone or not. This included wounded enemy personnel.
During World War II, triage was a critical medical process used to prioritize treatment for wounded soldiers based on the severity of their injuries and the likelihood of survival. The primary goal was to maximize the number of survivors by ensuring that medical resources were allocated efficiently. Medical personnel categorized patients into groups: those who could be saved with immediate care, those whose injuries were so severe that treatment would likely be futile, and those with less critical injuries who could wait for treatment. This systematic approach was vital in battlefield conditions where medical resources were limited and the number of casualties was high.
Very little, a company on attack might have as few as four litter bearers assigned to it and they were unskilled in medical procedures. They were to remove the wounded through communication trenches to the rear for treatment and might be capable of applying a bandage. Wounded and dead were removed more for morale purposes than for medical treatment.
After someone has disease, what is the medical treatment?
Morphine is used for medical treatment.
World War 2 changed the world forever by teaching us a lesson in the areas of atomic warfare, and the treatment of war prisoners.
Compared to Korea, WWII, and WWI, and especially the US Civil War (1861-1865), Viet War casualties received excellent medical treatment, for those times.
Arguably all nations did not receive fair treatment following World War 1. Germany was required to pay massive reparations which hindered their economy and served as a motivation for the 2nd World War.
