"He could amputate a limb in under 1 minute."
Give me an axe and I'll do it in 10 seconds
I can amputate a limb in … 8.5 seconds, Alex.
“OK, at the sound of the bell you have 8.5 seconds.”

Let’s all raise a glass to Anesthesia, sterile environments, and.. well Science. The combination has apparently saved at least a few fingers. … and testicles.
And lives.
A glass of anaesthesia is a wonderful idea thank you
Ah just stand behind a horse thats all the anesthesia you need
I’ve had about 40 surgeries; raising my glass as I write…!
Do people of the middle-ages even had limbs left?
The mouthwash 'Listerine' is named after Joseph Lister because he had an interest, in cleanliness and was the founder of antiseptic medicine and preventative medicine too. He wanted people to sterilise everything and improve hygiene standards, in their clinical practices.
Wow, good to know. Thanks
Can't believe he made it through the whole thing without mentioning that.
Thought he was saving it for the last line.
Very good fun fact.
Ya beat me to it!
Hard to believe that tidbit was overlooked!
"founder of antiseptic medicine"
Ignaz Semmelweis beat him to it by about 20 years, but sure.
Actually, Ignaz might make for an interesting video here.

He's just a skilled butcher that's all.
I think butchers have more skill. They don’t carelessly kill those who may be standing next to them when cutting. I’d rather have a butcher work on me
@@vanessamccool7972 don’t get me wrong, butchers are exceedingly skilled at their craft, but it’s in the name lol they are good are carving out meat into some nice servings, but they aren’t going to be considering things like your veins, arteries, etc. The human body although taught in school is a very basic and simplified version of our bodies, there’s so many variations, just the weight of a person can majorly effect where certain things are. There’s a reason why surgeons specialise into different areas, same as doctors. Though even in modern times, mistakes still happen that could have easily been avoided, least with a butcher they are consistent haha xD
@@sssleon3320 obviously this ‘surgeon’ was less than a butcher, which is why I made the statement, because between a butcher, or this quack, I’d choose the butcher. And I’m sure the person holding my hand would be thankful for that choice as well, because they’d survive. This ‘doctor’ couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to who was standing where, thereby killing the bystander, so how the eff could he get anything else correct? And the use of the word surgeon with one such as him has got to be a misnomer, he was probably a liar or psycho
@@vanessamccool7972 you are aware this surgeon in question that your referencing is from the 19th century during Victorian era, if were comparing a surgeon from the Victorian era and a butcher from the same time, then yes you very correct a butcher probably would have been better, I should hade made it more obvious that I was referring to modern day doctors/surgeons.
@@sssleon3320 I was absolutely referring to the fact that he was from that era, and the majority of people, such as myself, probably couldn’t afford a surgeon back when this happened, and that would have been a blessing. I think that ‘barbers’, dentists, and actual doctors from that time were on par with each other. And some advice, if I watched the same video you are replying to a comment I made, please don’t assume I need anything mansplained to me. If you weren’t attempting to correct me, or explain something in a condescending manner, at least if you didn’t realize that you were doing it, here I am telling you that you were very much so doing such a thing. We watched the video, I commented in reference to the video, and YOU comment something that has nothing to do with the price of beans in China, as if I’m too stupid to understand that choosing a butcher over a modern day surgeon is foolish women’s speak. If you aren’t going to watch the video, and understand that’s what I’m referring to, why comment?
I once had a bladder sling put in. As I was waking up, the doctor bragged to me how quickly she had done my surgery. Then I heard her tell the next lady how quickly she had done her surgery, seconds fewer than mine….and that the patient would have to wear a catheter bag full time until her bladder perforation healed. Speedy isn’t always best.
Well, the man loved his work, without a doubt. How many of us can say that these days? :)
It's also interesting to notice that even during modern operations, under anaesthesia, your body still feels pain and it can be recorded on EEG. However, we are in such deep sleep from which it's impossible to wake up, that later on when you wake up, you don't remember any of it. I had an open heart surgery... it felt like being dead, but what I find really interesting is that afterwards all of my family members noticed I got a lot of grey hairs overnight, which possibly indicated my body had gone through some serious trauma. Food for thought-y 2, eh? Have a great day! I love your channel.
Imagine watching the surgery being preformed on yourself.. you'd pay good money for a speedy surgeon as well..
crazy when you think about it. they say when some people heard they needed surgery, they would go on to kill themselves to avoid the horror of it all
Joseph Lister was also the inspiration for the antiseptic, Listerine, created by Dr. Joseph Lawrence in 1879.
That would be my grannies great great father. She was from the Canterbury plains in new Zealand and originally from Scotland.
Nessie Lister was her name, and Nessie Vial by marriage
Listerine had a hugely jagged history. Nobody really knew what to do with it. At one stage, it was promoted / advertised as being a clever mix for your mop bucket water.
John Wick: "I once killed 3 men in a bar with a pencil.
Listin: "Hold my beer."
Listen saves all 3 so they will die a few days later again in unbearable pain.

Good God! The horror those people went through, I Will NOT complain about hospitals again. My hubbies nuts are safe. Big thumbs up mate.
So I was in a hospital in asia back in 2011, because they'd never treated a 6'2 240 pounds giant American before, they gave me well...a little dose of whatever they were using. So I woke up in mid operation, unable to breath, hand restrained on both sides of the table. So I started to freak out and do what most logical fellow would do, waving my palms in circles to catch attention and point fingers at myself. So they gave me a second dose and i woke up 3 days later.
@Godsabitch True story, it was for gall bladder. But in asia they didnt do the small hole, they did a big scar. It still numb to this day.

Watching this while waiting for my doctors appointment. Lol! A friend of mine had the wrong leg amputated by accident. So now she has no legs at all. Note to everyone... if u have a medical problem DO NOT get treated at royal Darwin hospital. Although the private hospital in Darwin has a better track record if u are stuck in Darwin. Their the only 2 hospitals to really choose from in the Northern Territory. So when I broke my back, they had to fly me to Adelaide in south Australia. Then again when I needed heart surgery. The Northern Territory is to rural & hasn't got many of the medical specialists most capital cities have.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
How much compensation she got?
My son was 11 and he had to have knee surgery, when I saw him just before he went in he had ' not this leg' in big black letters on his right leg. I actually said to the attending nurse is that for real?? Bc his knee was pretty swollen from the injury it was pretty apparent to me which one needed attending to. He made it thru very well in the end tho.
Is she okay? I imagine that has to take a big toll mentally as well 🥺
I always watch my guy when I’m going to sleep... soothing and knowledgeable 😂 happy 2021 and hope your all safe and exceeding. ✌️

I think that the British preference to narrate calmly and matter-of-fact style helps.
I notice that many US narrations seem hyper or like the story itself isn't enough so they use the narrator to make it more dramatic maybe?

Except you can splinter the bone and then you're really fucked.... Hence why the saw was for a clean cut to the flesh to be wrapped around The end and heal without too much nerve pain long term.
Fun thing about cleanliness- it was common knowledge to keep wounds clean. We knew it for millennia. But places like England? Naah. That's BS.
Yep it took a German doctor during the civil war to tell troops to stop putting the toilets by the kitchen. 🙄
It’s the definition of “I’m built different.”
I agree. I actually think most of our history is BS. You're telling me we could come up with Victorian architecture but couldn't figure out simple medical procedures and practices? - total bull
@@mmmbbop571 I think the truth of it is that you are probably somewhat accurate to a degree. The issue is that even still it isn't BS. It's just that the people who make history are detached from reality in the same way that the rich people and politicians of today are.
In a world where most people are covered in dirt and soot at all times, the ability to study any subject, whether it be medicine or whatever, in the absence of bacteria is reserved only for those with a large amount of money, power, time and patience.
The progression of science and the number of variables that could be controlled during experimentation was extremely limited thanks to the massive barriers to entry and the amount of patience and thought required to control them.
Not to mention that the people conducting science generally considered common people and their opinions to be worthless. Even if there was a common sense idea surrounding basic hygiene among common people, the rich, noble and royal classes idea of hygiene was taking a bath once a month "whether it was needed or not."
From that, coupled with earlier historic examples of medicine like Henry VIII's battle with infections, sepsis, dementia and ultimately his death, you can kind of get a picture of how at least the ruling class treated themselves in that era.
@@mmmbbop571 We can send men to the moon, but can barely create robots that can clean our houses to the same extent as a human. There's nothing bs about it. Technological advancement is not linear.
Surgeons used to advertise about their speed if you want to read about a bottom clenching operation just read about Samuel Pepys bladder stone - the size of a tennis ball and with no anaesthetic!!! We are lucky to be alive today!!

Could you make a part 2-going in depth in anesthesia medicine and how it was invented and perfected because I bet that has to be a bumpy journey of discovery.
It's crazy that centuries before, Galen the ancient roman physician, understood the concept of cleaning your tools and sanitation
Well done. I just saw this and was wondering why folks covering this topic rarely, if ever, mention the doctor in Vienna who in 1847 instituted hand washing and the importance of not wearing the crud incrusted clothes in the delivery of babies. He discovered that women who gave birth in the hospital had higher death rates than the women who didn't. When a colleague of his died from an infection from a cut obtained during the autopsy of an enbalmed body, he discovered that what his friend had died of was the same as the women in the obstetrics hospital. His name was Ignaz Semmelwise. You should look him up. He really should be added to this list of pioneering medical men.
Is amazing how much it is trial and error and the fact that it still mostly this way.
The Egyptians used advanced surgical techniques 1000s of years ago. It’s amazing how much knowledge was lost over millennia.

Actually it was Ignaz Semmelweis, who discovered the importance of strict hygienic measures for surgical operations and implemented them in 1847 at the General Hospital in Vienna. His publication is considered as the first evidence based medical publication ever. However, his ideas were widely unsupported by the medical community at that time. Lister, who came across Semmelweis' publication 20 years later, finally could convince the medical community of its life saving importance, however never credited Semmelweis as origin.
