Reminds me about a quote I heard, don't remember where, about Napoleons main medic.

Apparently he noticed that equally injured soldiers would die at different times based upon how close they were to the camp fire with those closest expiring way before those laid out the farthest from the fire.

Could be a bs story, I never actually looked into it.

So then he had badly injured soldiers sit really close to the fire?
