Medical attention was crude at the very most and more men died of their wounds and the treatment of the wounds. If a man was hit in an arm or leg 90% of the time the leg or arm was cut off. Mountains of arms and legs were next to where medical teams worked. A wound in the chest or stomach usually meant death. The men who were taken as POW's spent years in unspeakable conditions. They starved to death, died of exposure, were killed, and disease took many. Look up Andersonville and read the words of the men who were there.
