As a parent whose child did something similar in Mesa in 2005 (about 120 years later), I can attest to the fear and panic I felt while sitting with my son in an emergency ward staffed with trained professionals. Who might have cared for a little boy’s severe cut in Mesa in the late 1880s, and what might the treatment have been?
