A Surgeon In Belgium is a non-fiction book written by Henry Sessions Souttar. It is a personal account of the author's experiences as a surgeon during World War I in Belgium. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing the author's journey to Belgium and his work in a field hospital. The second part focuses on his experiences in a base hospital, where he treated soldiers who had been injured in battle.The author provides vivid descriptions of the conditions he worked in, including the lack of resources and the constant danger of enemy fire. He also discusses the emotional toll of treating wounded soldiers and the difficulty of making life-or-death decisions on a daily basis.Throughout the book, the author reflects on the broader implications of the war and the impact it had on the soldiers and civilians he encountered. He also includes personal anecdotes and observations about the people and places he encountered during his time in Belgium.Overall, A Surgeon In Belgium provides a unique perspective on the realities of war and the experiences of those who worked to save lives on the front lines.The life of a hospital at the front is a curious mixture of excitement and dullness. One week cases will be pouring in, the operating theatre will be working day and night, and everyone will have to do their utmost to keep abreast of the rush; next week there will be nothing to do, and everyone will mope about the building, and wonder why they were ever so foolish as to embark on such a futile undertaking. For it is all emergency work, and there is none of the dull routine of the ordinary hospital waiting list, which we are always trying to clear off, but which is in reality the backbone of the hospital's work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
