Ya had to go there lol I cant or dont want to imagine being held down no meds while they saw your. leg off eeeeee I dont think I would want that bullett anymore lolPain bullet.a guy could of been biting on that when his leg was cut off.
While visiting the Civil war medical museum in Fredrick, Md. someone brought the “chewed bullet” story up. It was mentioned that it wasn’t likely because of the high possibility of swallowing it. If it had to be done it was more likely to be leather or wood. Also he mentioned that over 90% of all surgeries during the CW were done using anesthesia. Usually ether. The belief is that this is something that Hollywood came up with. Kinda like the “fast draw” in westerns. Another thing mentioned was that lead is fairly hard to chew and especially at the end of the war the soldiers teeth were in pretty bad shape from scurvy. If you ever make it to Md. make sure u go to the museum. It’s obvious why so many died.
