Hospital during the Civil war

The claim," It was estimated that during the course of the Civil War, the hospital treated almost a quarter of all Union casualties...", is highly dubious at best. Other than the newspaper article from which it is sourced I can find no other proof that it is correct. To the contrary I have found enough to indicate it is not. The next sentence that it was expanded to hold 450 patients at once would also indicate it is untrue. That number of beds wouldn't be near enough to able to handle the quarter of all casualties as claimed, and it should be removed.Jackfork (talk) 12:49, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
