✿✿✿✿✿ Nurses ✿✿✿✿✿
These medical tools, from the era of the civil war, are what the women nurses used to perform nasty procedures on the battles fields and in hospitals. These procedures were often unsanitary and were often used to get the soldiers back on the battlefields ASAP. For example, a saw was used to perform emergency amputations-imagine getting your leg cut off. Without any anesthetics! Women like Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix did their part bravely and dealt with the gruesome aftermath of the war. Talk about impressive!
