    Just days before the Civil War's end, twenty-two-year-old Private Dennis Driscoll was shot in battle near Fort Stedman, Virginia. A musket ball had entered the soldier's right thigh, striking the tailbone before finally lodging in the gluteus maximus. He was transported to Stanton Hospital on March 25, 1865, arriving five days later. According to the records, the shock from the injury was small. A caregiver noted, "The patient complained of no other inconvenience than pain and tenderness....with a persistent tendency to evacuate the bowels."
