thanks but just a couple things,

Question 3) Hospitals didn't use x-rays for disease, they were able to see broken bones, yes. The main reason they were used was to identify bullet and shrapnel wounds.

Question 5) Blood loss was one of the three main problems with surgery and it was tackled by blood transfusions at the beginning of the 20th century.
