Today I learned: that in 1847, a doctor performed an amputation in 25 seconds, operating so quickly that he accidentally amputated his assistant's fingers as well. Both later died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality rate. (nejm.org)

I laughed, is that bad?

Well you know what they say

"Don't be in a rush. Take the time to flush"

I think that applies here

What a flop.

At least he himself didn't die, that would have made a 400% rate. Btw, who decides to just watch an amputation? A student of medicine I hope otherwise
