MASONIC HOSPITALS - NURSING AND CARE

The Great War saw new strides made in treating the wounded and injured. The thousands of lives saved by the Marie Curie ambulances that the great Nobel Laureate donated and operated with mobile x-ray machines. The simple practice of making sure all medical staff scrubbed up before operating. The sterilisation of open wounds and amputations carried out in the field and the ability to remove soldiers from the field in motor ambulances. Then the care in hospitals both at the front and at home and the therapy adopted to restore the use of limbs by physiotherapy as portrayed in this photograph.
