The full article (in Britannia 30) is well worth a read. If nothing else it demonstrates how in yet more ways the conquest was a step backwards for the civilian population of Britain - or at least not a significant change on a highly effective medical and social system that already enabled people to take months off work to recover from broken limbs!
