Characters Present:
Nicholas Rostóv
Some doctors
Location:
A field hospital in a small Prussian town
The battle of Friedland was fought, but without Nicholas Rostóv's regiment. Nicholas goes to visit Denísov, who was shot in the foot, and opted to go to hospital rather than be court marshalled.
When Nicholas arrives at the hospital, he is warned that five doctors and countless patients have died of typhus. He asks to see his friend and though the doctors suspect that he has died, they offer a tour of the ward just in case.
Nicholas is hit by a wall of stink upon entering the ward and sees pale, skeletal and amputated men sitting in their various fluids and states of decay.
