While leading his men in a charge against a heavily fortified Confederate position, Chamberlain was struck in the right hip. The bullet splintered the hip bone, cutting into his bladder and urethra before it lodged just behind the left hip joint. Chamberlain endured many painful surgeries and eventually succumbed to the wound 50 years later. Dr. Matt Farina, a retired pediatric cardiologist and member of the Capital District Civil War Round Table, talked about Chamberlain’s wound and the medical treatment he received.
