Emergency Systems
Many of the current emergency systems we use on a daily basis around various cities were developed thanks to the war efforts of the 1900’s. Emergency systems were shocked into getting organized, in order to try and save as many lives as possible during war efforts. In some cases, nurses and doctors were dealing with this kind of situation for the first time in their careers. Innovations in emergency systems, and the fact that it’s as simple as dialing ‘911’ these days, is largely thanks to military intervention in the past.

Reconstructive Surgery
While not everyone requires reconstructive surgery for non-cosmetic reasons, facial focused surgery of this kind is only possible thanks to advancements made in the civil war during the early 1860’s. A historic reconstruction conducted by the founding father of plastic surgery, Dr. Gurdon Buck, helped to usher in a new era of surgery. At the time, him and his team completed over 30 reconstructions, which led to other surgeons around the country learning how to do it too.
