Mauser Rifle Balls Sparked Surgical Revolutions At Sea
The Olivette returned 274 wounded from Santiago with extraordinary injuries and survival. Surgeons credited antisepsis and emergency bandages for saving lives, noting many bullets caused severe yet nonfatal damage to brain, lungs, and limbs. Several cases, including Orme, Knox, Dorwood, Bily, and Clark, show bullets fracturing bones yet sparing vital organs, challenging wartime medical axioms.
