That guy seems incredibly calm considering he’s getting his fucking arm hacked off, and he hasn’t even had a shot of brandy yet. What a boss
Huh, cutting the flesh at an angle to so that you can form a cap on the stump afterward isn’t a step I expected, but it makes sense.
Damn, where was this 30 minutes ago? It never gets any easier no matter how many patients you lose.
But have you ever failed so hard you had a 300% fatality rate on a single amputation?

Amputated the leg in under 21⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene; they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he fainted from fright (and was later discovered to have died from shock).
Wtf
“I’m sorry I’m home late darling, you’ll never believe what happened at the bar”
No thanks, I’d like the brandy before the procedure
The original “you fell asleep first at the sleepover” meme
Is that a jar of….leeches?
never play poker with that patient
The middle bit looks like a psychopath’s suggestion for a new Power Handshake™.
