纵观有记载的文明史，武装冲突一直存在。战争与伤员护理的进步息息相关。其中许多进步在战场上显示出有效性后，就会被纳入民用医疗保健中。不幸的是，这个实验室拥有大量临床材料，并为富有创造力、好奇心和创新精神的人提供了机会。本文回顾了朝鲜战争带来的医学进步。神经外科、血管外科和整形外科取得了显着进展。以前战争中的工具被重新发现，掸掉灰尘，并用于阻止精神创伤造成的战斗损失。整形外科医生开发出唇裂治疗方法，为年轻的生命带来希望。战争是一种破坏性、破坏性和痛苦的经历，但可以改善对伤员的护理，而这些发展可以改善世界各地人们的生活。
Throughout the recorded history of civilization, there has been armed conflict. Warfare has been associated with advances in care for the wounded. Many of these advances when shown effective on the battlefield become incorporated into civilian health care. It is a laboratory where there is unfortunately much clinical material and presents opportunity for the creative, curious, and innovative. This article reviews the medical advances that resulted from the Korean War. There were notable advances in neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and plastic surgery. Tools from prior wars were rediscovered, dusted off, and used to stop combat losses from psychiatric trauma. A treatment was developed for cleft lip by a plastic surgeon, thus giving hope to young lives. War is a disruptive, destructive, and harrowing experience-but can lead to improvements in care for the wounded and these developments can improve the lives of people everywhere.
