Learn more about the harrowing true stories of wounded soldiers and the surgeons who treated them during the bloodiest battle of the Civil War

Join us on Friday, August 27 at 11:00 AM on YouTube for a virtual program hosted by the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. You can tune in by visiting youtube.com/user/nmcwm at the scheduled time.

Licensed Battlefield Guides Fran Feyock and Dr. Rick Schroeder lead us on a tour highlighting the medical stories of wounded soldiers treated on the Gettysburg battlefield. The pair, with decades of experience in the operating room between them, examine Civil War battlefield medicine and make astute observations about how it compares and contrasts with emergency medicine today.
