As much as I love this period, real life made me take off my rose colored glasses and see that they had their own difficulties. I apologize if my post if a bit darker than others, but I wanted to do something different.

I am certainly glad that medicine has much improved from that time as it definitely would have been a bad period to be sick or to have someone who claimed you were mentally ill.darcybennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402257268742720716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-79497894149073705972018-08-19T21:05:40.970-04:002018-08-19T21:05:40.970-04:00I’ll have it posted shortly.

I doubt it was completely accurate, and I am sure that the real thing was far worse than depicted. Yes it is a sad and depressing topic but one that must be discussed if we are to understand where we came from and come up with ways to improve human lives.

At the time I wrote this, I was thinking of just field surgeons that served the military and decided to leave them out. I’ll add them the next time.

I wouldn't want to go back in time and live permanently Jane Austen's times. Maybe just for a quick visit and then come back to modern conveniences. Thank you for sharing this bit of information but I would suggest that you include surgeon as well since it is related to this topic.Lúthien84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15390711363301378521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-23913421476959396992018-08-09T06:38:02.334-04:002018-08-09T06:38:02.334-04:00My pleasure, Christina.
