wet to dry

The old technique for wound healing is doing "wet to dry" bandaging,  packing the open wound with saline-soaked gauze and changing two to three times a day.  I don't think this is the kind of thing your average spouse could handle.  Patients often have this done by visiting nurses.  But Meg was a nurse, is a physician, and has the grit to do what needs to be done.  She is my "Jack-a-roe" (traditional song popularized by the Grateful Dead).

The war soon being over she went and looked around

Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found

Oh her darling boy she found

She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town

She sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds

Oh to quickly heal his wounds
