Скачать или смотреть Life and Death for Civil War Doctors in the Appalachian Mountains

In the rugged Appalachian mountains during the Civil War, doctors faced a battlefield unlike any other. Lacking proper supplies, working in makeshift tents, and battling disease with little more than rudimentary tools, these medical pioneers often paid the ultimate price.

Typhoid, dysentery, and infections claimed nearly as many doctors as wounded soldiers did. Without antibiotics, a simple cut could turn fatal—and the very act of treating patients meant constant exposure to deadly illnesses. Add in freezing winters, poor sanitation, and the chaos of war, and survival became a desperate gamble.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden history of Appalachian Civil War medicine—the brutal conditions, the impossible decisions, and the sacrifices that claimed the lives of those sworn to save others.
