Life Lost Or Saved (1868)

Life Lost Or Saved is a book written by Selina Ditcher and published in 1868. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences as a nurse during the Crimean War. Ditcher was one of the first nurses to be sent to the front lines of the war, and her memoir provides a vivid and detailed account of the conditions she encountered there. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Ditcher's experiences in the field hospitals, and the second part focusing on her experiences in the military hospitals in Constantinople. Throughout the book, Ditcher describes the challenges she faced as a nurse, including the lack of resources and the high mortality rate among the wounded soldiers. She also provides insights into the medical practices of the time, and the ways in which they were often inadequate or even harmful to the patients. Despite the difficult conditions she faced, Ditcher remained committed to her work as a nurse, and her memoir is a testament to the courage and dedication of those who served in the Crimean War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
