#FlashbackFriday to November 2011 when UN Peacekeepers from the Republic of Korea working for the @UNPeacekeeping Mission in #Haiti conducted a medical service day at Danbi Hospital, which was run by Korean peacekeepers.
#UnitedNations Peacekeepers come from different countries, cultures and backgrounds -- but share a common purpose to protect the most vulnerable.
These brave men and women leave their families behind and go where no one else will to keep the peace, restore stability, protect civilians and help create conditions under which refugees can voluntarily return home.
They are #ServingForPeace at great personal risk and under harsh conditions to help others. We thank them for their service and sacrifice! : UN Photo / Logan Abassi

A plague doctor was a medical physician who treated victims of the bubonic plague. In times of epidemics, such physicians were specifically hired by towns where the plague had taken hold. Since the city was paying their salary, they treated everyone: both the wealthy and the poor. However, some plague doctors were known to charge patients and their families additional fees for special treatments or false cures.

Typically they were not professionally trained nor experienced physicians or surgeons, but rather they were often either second-rate doctors unable to otherwise run a successful medical practice or young physicians seeking to establish themselves. These doctors rarely cured their patients; rather, they served to record a count of the number of people contaminated for demographic purposes.

The plague doctor is one of my favorite jobs in history. Part 2 coming later.

The Austro-Prussian War or Seven Weeks' War (also known as the Unification War, the War of 1866, or the Fraternal War, in Germany as the German War, and also by a variety of other names) was a warfought in 1866 between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, with each also being aided by various allies within the German Confederation. Prussia had also allied with the Kingdom of Italy, linking this conflict to the Third Independence War of Italian unification. The Austro-Prussian War was part of the wider rivalry between Austria and Prussia, and resulted in Prussian dominance over the German states.

The Union Army was made up of the permanent regular army of the United States, but further fortified, augmented, and strengthened by the many temporary units of dedicated volunteers as well as including those who were drafted in to service as conscripts. To this end, the Union Army fought and ultimately triumphed over the efforts of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War.

Over the course of the war, 2,128,948 men enlisted in the Union Army, including 178,895 colored troops; 25% of the white men who served were foreign-born. Of these soldiers, 596,670 were killed, wounded or went missing. The initial call-up was for just three months, after which many of these men chose to reenlist for an additional three years.
