Lincoln Grandchildren & G-Grandchildren

[STS Lincolnite]

Scott, I don't have the book at hand now to quote, but it said the French physicians were top modern using antiseptic tools etc.

Thanks for the clarification Eva! I do not have, nor have I read that book or much about the incident. I imposed a general idea on a specific situation which I obviously did not know enough about. I can say that even in modern medicine and with modern techniques, procedural infections can still occur. Sometimes bad things just happen in spite of appropriate care.
