Horrendous as it was, you at least had a decent chance of survival with a medieval surgeon. It was better than just leaving the mangled limb to rot which would have a much reduced survival rate. The discovery of ether is the most important medical advancement in history after germ theory. While this video is good the editing is a bit much with the quick cuts and flashing.
Sorry if you don't know, but I'm curious how they discovered ether? Not sure I've heard of it before the comments on here and can't get a clear answer from Google with my wording.
@@lbell1703 That's a good question! The first documented creation of diethyl ether was by an alchemist named Ramon Llull (something like "Yoy") in the late 13th century. It kinda sat quietly for centuries until about the 1840s when people noticed that it worked as a party drug. Then they noticed that if they got hurt while high on ether they didn't feel it until later. In a controlled setting ether is pretty safe and they started using it for surgery. There's a fun twist though. You see, ether use was an *American* thing and the British were not so willing to use it out of nationalism. The British doctors got to experimenting and found the anesthesic properties of chloroform. That chemical is not nearly as safe or easy to use but because of pride and the Empire its usage became more popular and replaced ether until it itself was phased out when more modern drugs were synthesized. You probably had some trouble with the searching because of the concept of "aether" for which ether is named. If you add quotation marks around 'ether' in your searches it gets around the search engines' algorithm and tells it to show only results that contain that exact spelling. Google however is not often responsive to its old search commands and you might try DDG or looking for information indirectly such as "history of anesthesia" or "medical advancements of the 19th century". There is also a wide history of surgery and pain management that isn't European that is worth reading about. I find the history of the Kahura peoples' dual survival cesarean sections particularly interesting. I hope this answered your question or gave you a lead to find the answers yourself! :)

I don't mean this in a rude way or anything, but where are you from? It's just that I'm American and have watched videos with people who've had *way* more confusing accents. This one just seems standard. Like I said, just curious about where you're from because it might just be because of all the history stuff I've watched. It's almost always British accents lol.
By the time of the mid-16th Century the French Barber Surgeon and pioneer of military surgery advocated that the amputation stumps should no longer be cauterised but that ligation of the vessels and application of paste was preferable. Still not ideal but major step forwards.
Cauterisation held back if possible, could make it worse, rags smeared in honey and herbal remidies also common, amputation has more chance of needing cauterisation however
I should sent this video to people that say how bad the modern age is meanwhile all around the globe back then you got set into wars without ANY choice, to an uncomparable amount to modern times, and then had to endure shit like this, and still probably slowly died of an infection at like 29 years old.

Imagine trying to have a conversation with this fellow irl. Would be impossible without the subtitles
I don't mean this in a rude way or anything, but where are you from? It's just that I'm American and have watched videos with people who've had *way* more confusing accents. This one just seems standard. Like I said, just curious about where you're from because it might just be because of all the history stuff I've watched. It's almost always British accents lol.
@@lbell1703 One part accent, two parts his inability to speak at a comprehensible volume level. Also, I'm a yank.
Ok this guy is most definitely a time traveler! He looks like everyone in those photos combined.
Bro looks like he came right out of a renaissance painting
He's so calm explaining it almost to calm..
I always admired history nuts for being so nutty about history, but they just recognize how damn cool it is.
God bless poppies
Pretty much exactly what I pictured a medieval surgeon looking like
Think I’ll just keep on keeping on with the injury until I die of it thanks!
So nasty 😮
🤢🤢🤮
By the time of the mid-16th Century the French Barber Surgeon and pioneer of military surgery advocated that the amputation stumps should no longer be cauterised but that ligation of the vessels and application of paste was preferable. Still not ideal but major step forwards.
An excellent video art work. We highly appreciate your effort and work.
Good information.
It's amazing we made it this far!
Props to chalke valley history festival for going back in time and bringing a doctor.
Cauterisation held back if possible, could make it worse, rags smeared in honey and herbal remidies also common, amputation has more chance of needing cauterisation however
You just pass out from pain in the past and hope for the best
Just trying to get my head around what that would feel like pre anesthesia.
Savage
It's a good thing I can understand what you were doing acting out the procedure, because I couldn't understand what you were saying in places
I am so unbelievably happy to be alive in this day and age
Love the cartoon wound man in the background
Dude in the painting has a big smile on his face while his head is split open
This is a splendid video. Wowed at the quality l am.
As horrific as that sounds, it’s honestly impressive how refined the technique was
Imagine getting your hand cut off by a guy dressed like a silly elf
Very brutal. Stupendously done, my fine sir
I saw these kind of things via dioramas at an Army Museum as a kid. Still sitting in the back of my skull.
This guy should voice act in video games and stuff. He has such a distinctive voics
That is raw, i cant imagine the pain you'd have to endure while someone chisels your wrists.
Sitting here getting my breath back recovering from the multiple jump scares this horror movie presented
I should sent this video to people that say how bad the modern age is meanwhile all around the globe back then you got set into wars without ANY choice, to an uncomparable amount to modern times, and then had to endure shit like this, and still probably slowly died of an infection at like 29 years old.
Well... now my nightmares have a context. Thanks for that.
I am glad to be alive in these times 🥰
Felt the pain through the screen
This is so awesome and so creepy at the same time. I love it!
This dudes eyes make this all so much more legit
Broke both bone in the middle of my forearm when I was 11, so glad they didn't have to remove it at the elbow
.stay steady striving
“Portraying” rightttt
What a voice this man has, omg♥
This explains that barber/doctor guy from flapjack
Looks exactly what i think they looked like back in the day too..nice
I can’t believe what my ancestors lived through. The fought in the Revolutionary, Civil, both World Wars and even Vietnam. The gore they all must’ve endured, insane
Oh my heck, Dr. Barber from The Misadventures of Flapjack is historically accurate?!?! I love the show even more now!!
I’m just glad I was born this era 😭
you could tell this dude loves what he's doing 🤩
Honestly knowing they went for joint versus sawing bones in half makes me feel better for all the people who had their medieval limbs amputated
Man I happy we've made a lot of progress that's wild but it got to get done
Indeed majestic !
This video made my joints hurt 💀
