Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoranda on Army General Hospital Administration A country carries on war by means of money and fit men; and the pace and staying power depend upon both. The men are enlisted to kill or disable the enemy, or to assist their fellow-soldiers to do so; and the country willingly contracts to make good any disablement. Money expended upon the disabled must come from what is available after paying for the cost of carrying on the offensive; and the sums that can be spared for this purpose may not provide what sentiment desires or the medical profession is accustomed to in peace. The primary objects of army hospitals are to get the disabled, physically and mentally, fit to fight again; or, if this is not possible within a reasonable time, to return him to civil life at his highest possible value in the labour market, so that he may cost the public purse the less. If this can be more rapidly and effectually obtained by a relatively high scale of equipment (e.g., orthopædic surgery), or a larger personnel (e.g., the nursing service), it may be more economical to provide them.
