DescriptionDoctors in the Great War – February, 2014 by Ian R Whitehead (Author) {Bindaredundat}  Product Details Paperback: 224 pages Publisher: Pen and Sword (February 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: 1783461748 ISBN-13: 978-1783461745 This book examines the role of the doctor in war, with reference to the Western front 1914-1918. It examines the system that was developed for recruiting medical officers, highlighting the tensions between civil and military needs, and the BMA's determination to protect the interests of the profession. Separate chapters deal with the position of medical students and the contribution of women doctors. The book looks at the training of doctors for war, and the differences that existed between military and civilian medicine. The Army's utilization of doctors is assessed in the context of contemporary accusations that its organization was wasteful and ignorant of the requirements of medical science. These issues are addressed through a discussion of evacuation procedures, the development of wound therapy and the provision for preventing and treating the diseases of war.
