Rating: PG
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight ACD)
Characters: Major John Watson, RAMC
Summary: A doctor's lot is not a happy one
Warnings: (none)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 8th 2016 prompt: The Wonder of the Age
Major Watson had seen vast improvements in medicine throughout the years: the triumph of germ theory over miasma led to progress in infection prevention, formerly deadly diseases could be treated with medications, and the advances in anaesthesia were nothing short of miraculous.
So many lives he saw lost as a junior medical officer could now be saved.
Yet he looked around his ward and saw burns from flamethrowers, phosphorous shrapnel, grenades, machinegun fire, and the horror that was mustard gas…
Sadly he realised that all the medical advances in the world would continually be outstripped by humanity’s appetite for destruction.
