Chapter 4 to Chapter 6

When reading the next three Chapters it was intriguing to see how the USSC played a intense role in the development of critical contributions to the sick and wounded soldiers. The USSC helped establish and shape the standards of soldiers in the Health Care System. The USSC help raise awareness to the needs of soldiers when it came to what they were being fed, what they rested on when being taken to the hospitals, what they wore when getting to the hospitals, and how they were transported. They brought to light how the soldiers were already getting low portions of food, so for an ill soldier they would need more than a non-sick soldier. The clothing that the soldiers wore would be covered in dirt or in blood, causing a sanitation and cleanliness problem in the hospitals. This led to them want the soldiers to have clothing to change into during their stay. Implementing this change would help soldiers during their healing process. When looking at the pamphlet in class to see the types of questions they would ask soldiers. The questions were mind blowing because it showed that although some sort of standard was in place, they wanted to nip thing down so there would be no confusion on how things should be done. The USSC had a major impact in the way things are done in the Health Care System and every day life for soldiers during that time.
