Medieval Military Medicine: From the Vikings to the High Middle Ages by Brian Burfield

3.0

What an interesting view of the medicine that was prevalent in the military during the medieval years. While warfare was common, and the horrific practices that were being used, it is not surprising that the medical care could do more damage than the battlefields sometimes.

I enjoyed this read. It was interesting for me to compare what was used in the medieval world, to what is currently being used today in our military. Quite a stark difference, and yet, we still have some commonalities of diagnoses.
