Don't compare apples to oranges. I don't know if you're explicitly meaning this, but I get the impression you're implying that, say, Ancient Romans died of wounds that could have been tended by modern medicine that didn't exist then. Do you think they'd have done any better with female nurses?

I was talking more of the 18th/19th century. There just wasn't a lot of resources put into caring for wounded soldiers, it was expected that if they were wounded beyond the ability to fight they'd be paid off and fall back on their family/parish.
