Nasty leg wound

Here we are at the combat dressing station, the medicus has boxed in and splinted the injured leg, the patient has been doped with opium and the Medicus will now stretch the leg out and probe for bone splinters before packing the wound with a honey soaked dressing.

Eww man. Is that a real person's leg? It looks rather oddly shaped.

no, but its gruesome enough! Its a modern anatomical "operable" body.

Oh I see. Why honey?

Because it suffocates any bacteria, and if of a high quality from a wide geographic range has the essence of many medicinal plants incorporated as well. To this day I use honey on open leg sores , especially for the diabetic.

Ah I see. I'd heard it was good for burns, but I didn't know about its uses on actual open wounds.

Ill try and get a shot of the other "repaired " leg which shows the "after" condition of such a wound.What I was unaware of was that "injections" could be given into muscle mass, with a sharp instrument cleaned in lavender water thence smeared with perhaps an opiate,
