a sharp blade stabbed to the bottom of the palm of my middle finger, I can not bend all the way?
The court was up and down, was a doctor stationed in Iraq. You can not fully extend, and when I close (force) that snaps into place and I have to force it to open, when you I was extremely painful and when it finally appears spreads. It was well for about 2 weeks
When I was 18 I got the last 3 fingers on my right hand cut with a knife. A finger was hanging by the skin. Nerves were broken in three fingers. The skin was hanging from each nerve cut to 30 years then I do not have feeling in his finger. I would have had the nerves cut finger. Do not keep trying to bend, it is probably still swollen. Can have cut the tendon or ligament, so it appears when extended. It has to be seen by a doctor who has only been 2 weeks to be able to fix yet. Consult a doctor and thanks for your service to our freedom. Pass our thanks to all service men and women.

As the wounds were treated in medieval times, especially sword wounds?
As the wounds were treated during the medieval period, especially sword wounds? Please provide sources if you can, thanks.
It is first necessary to understand what kind of injuries would be treated. Depends of the time we're talking about. In early medieval times and for the poor in later medieval armor was light or nonexistent. As such wounds were often head and torso. Amputated limbs and swords were able to cut the damage as well as blunt and penetrating injury. better shielded opponents were injured and is directed against the legs, face or crushing blows instead of drilling and cutting wound types. A common tactic was to take his gun under an opponent's shield against lightly armored or legs. Once the opponent is down below, could provide a knockout. Http: / / everything2.com/index.pl?

The treatment of injuries was considered a very minor consideration in a battle and is also considered a waste of valuable human resources to the U.S. Civil War when the ambulance services began. You will see later in World War ambulance principles were adopted in Europe itself and then mostly after the end of the Second World War in Asia. As survival rates were low among the wounded so far. Medicine was very primitive in the early medieval period, but later in the period of surgeons became a common proffession and proflierated between hosts. Forign issue was a big event in those days as infections killed most of the wounded. Some ancient Celts and the Greeks fought in units of mostly naked or naked as it was felt that pieces of fabric were embedded in a wound actually more dangerous than the enemies of the weapons themselves. animal urine was a common attempt to reduce infection rates at the time and in some places. Also what was the sealing of the wound with a brand thus cauterizing the wound and reducing the external possibilities of infection. In the late medieval swords were from grace as battlefield weapons. They could not penetrate the heaviest armor of the day and were ineffective as slashing weapons again due to better armor. They saw favored mainly for symbolic use against lightly armed opponents as not peasents and European objectives. In Japan and China due to lack of metal armor Swords weapons were effective and preferred. They could do significant damage to the leather armor worn by enemies bent on the period of time. The weapons favored by soldiers in late medival times were spears, axes, wooden, maces, flails, spears and especially the bow and arrow, which has been repeatedly show the most lethal weapon in the battlefield throughout the medieval period until it was replaced with crossbows and firearms. In the early days were mostly attempts to heal the wounds. If the wounded suffered a devastating blow to the skull that could have punctured a hole in the skull to relieve pressure on the brain. Ointments of the effectiveness of different that would apply to fight infection. Analgesics in the form of tea, booze and even opium in some areas care for the wounded to relieve suffering. Then they waited. If a body was agony opened slowly and usually always fatal. If too much blood that was lost was mortal. The infections were often fatal. Sometimes men would recover mostly greievous wounds only to die of an infection in the hospital before they could get out of the remaining wounded. The bleeding was sometimes used and sometimes caused enough damage to kill a man who might otherwise have survived. The experimental medicine was common as most of the wounded were going to die anyway so any experimental opportunity was better than nothing. Stitches were not common, as little was known of antiseptics or need of them. As such stitching a wound could be more lethal in itself that the wound was caused by an infection. Some kind of antiseptic had to be applied to discomfort with attempts stitches. http://books.google.com/books?id=qtUzscI9_VIC&pg=PA111&lpg=PA111&dq=battlefield+wounds+middle+ages&source=web&ots=ha8U0pr3Yp&sig=BgGsAN_gbUKiFGUcp7P0WW1izqc&hl=en&sa=X&oi = Book_result & resnum = 3 & ct = result http://www.chivalrybookshelf.com/titles/wisby/wisby.htm http://www.rpg.net/columns/vegetative/vegetative21.phtml http://medievalnews.blogspot.com/2008 / 11/plagues-barbers-and-humours-look-at.html
