The Civil War (1861-5) killed about 750,000Americans, about two-thirds of them from various diseas- es and infections. “Even a simple cut could lead to sep- ticemia [blood poisoning] that could kill you,” Thomas said. “Had we fought this just 10 years later, we’d have had some knowledge of the germ theory of disease,” which was then just starting to be realized in Europe. Instead, most American doctors believed in the “miasma theory,” which claims that noxious smells caused dis- ease. Ironically, had they done the things necessary to eliminate such smells – particularly cleaning plac- es, bandages, etc. – they’d have also reduced the germs. “Women naturally knew how to nurse,” Thomas said. “They took care of children and understood cleanliness. … Sadly, most doctors didn’t understand this” and would criticize the nurses when they came in and complained “This place smells horrible and is dis- gusting.
