I agree, and as I posted elsewhere recently, it wouldn't be hard to believe the best medical treatment available, even in a fully equipped (but short on supplies) prewar hospital, would be no better than that available during WWI. In many areas, where modern medical infrastructure is lacking, a casualty may be lucky to received 1850's treatment.

This isn't to say that where the drugs, medicine, bandages, trained surgeons, etc are all available and in the one place and the one time a casualty wouldn't recieve A grade treatment though - just that take one of more of those elements away and you've got problems.
