Medical+care+1700's++by+Mandy+and+Brittany

Medical Care in the 1700’s In the 1700’s there wasn’t many materials or tools to help the injured or sick. They used scissors but that was like the only tool. They did have medicines but they didn’t have any use. They didn’t help the patients. The doctors didn’t understand germs so there tools didn’t help the patient, it made them sicker. During the late 1700s, Napoleon Bonaparte appointed Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey to develop the medical patient care system for the French army. One of findings was that leaving wounded soldiers on the field for several days increased the complications and suffering. He felt that this delay in treatment resulted in needless deaths. Larrey developed a method to send trained medical personnel into the field to provide medical care to the wounded soldiers. This action increased their chances of survival and benefited Napoleon's conquest efforts. He designed a special carriage staffed with medical personnel to access all parts of the battlefield. The carriage became known as the ambulance volante, or flying ambulance. During the 1700’s medical care was not advanced. Many doctors didn’t know how to cure patients and their illnesses. Since there was barley any effective medicine people died quickly. Many doctors barley had a degree. During war, they would leave wounded soldiers on the field for several days. A group of men made a method to send trained medical personnel into the field to provide medical care to the wounded soldiers and to provide medical care.                    PICTURES!
