| 520 | _a"Surgical Experiences in South Africa, 1899-1900" by George Henry Makins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the author's observations and clinical studies of injuries sustained during the South African campaign, particularly those caused by small calibre bullets. It provides an in-depth view of the types of wounds encountered, the treatment methods used, and the conditions under which medical personnel operated during the war. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Makins's surgical experiences, primarily concerning the nature and effects of bullet wounds observed during military engagements. The author reflects on the different battles he participated in and the surgical challenges faced in the field, including the transport of injured soldiers and the establishment of temporary hospitals. He discusses his surgical equipment, the health conditions of the troops, and briefly notes the various types of modern military rifles and their impact on the severity of injuries, hinting at the unique characteristics of small calibre weaponry. This introductory section promises a thorough examination of surgical practices during conflict, with a strong emphasis on personal observations and practical experiences in wartime medicine.
