The further developments of war and weapons also pose ever new challenges to medicine. In this article, the interactions between war and medical care and research are sketchily illustrated by means of various examples. The thesis is that war, in general, must be seen as a threat to medical progress since its focus on war-related areas means that it always neglects other aspects that could benefit the general public. Thus, war is not a good teacher of medicine, even if some developments, such as the mass production of penicillin during World War II, were accelerated.
