They were unfortunately both suffering from Tuberculosis… which is why the procedure was performed, as one sister was far sicker than the other. Anesthesia in the early 1900’s was very primitive. Here’s a bit more of the story: The twins had been traveling for almost a decade when Dudhika was found to have tuberculosis in 1902. A prominent French doctor, Eugène-Louis Doyen, offered to perform a surgical separation in hopes of saving Radhika's health. The surgery was filmed (as other procedures by Doyen had been). There was concern afterward that the surgeon had been distracted or hasty, because of the cameras and his ambition for good publicity. "The practice of medical heroics on Radica and Doodica's bodies," comments a recent historian, "can be understood as the spectacularization of medical superiority." Dudhika Nayak died soon after the surgery, aged about 14 years, from peritonitis. Radhika Nayak recovered well, and was not told of her sister's death; Radhika was baptized as Marie Marguerite, and learned needlework, during her stay in a Paris sanatorium. She died in 1903, aged about 15 years, from tuberculosis. After their separation, the film of the procedure made its way into theatres, first for medical professionals, but eventually to a wider audience. There was "a storm of disgust" when the film was exhibited in Vienna in 1903. Doyen himself tried to stop the exhibition of the films in sideshows in 1904.

@AmazingHistoricalPhotos thanks for the update. At least the one sister got to live a little bit longer. If she still died of TB, hopefully she had some quality of life. That's a lot to go through at such a young age. She had to have been missing her twin terribly & who knows about family. In the early 1900s, TB was rampant here in the US. My grandfather & uncle had it & survived, but his young wife didn't. At that time, people were sent away to sanatorium to recover because it was so highly contagious. Thankfully we have vaccines for it now

In those days they antiseptic and chloroform were unknown So was cleanliness...they just wiped their hands on a towel or cloth even if it was dirty.. You can check this on the Web, alcohol was used to give Patients to drink before a leg was cut off , it's why so many patients died of infection they didn't even 🙃 know about washing a wound or irrigation of a severe wound to clean away debris I guess they just wiped it...stay safe friend.😮

​@muttleysmith726 you might be thinking of the civil war, but in surgery, chloroform had been used already for 50-60 years. They would also use antiseptic. There's no way a surgery could be done like this with a patient awake. On a battlefield removing bullets or amputation were done awake, but that was over 40 years earlier. They still poured alcohol over the wound for an antiseptic. I appreciate your comment though. It had me verify dates. I like learning new things like this

@@Lori_L yups, it was the civil war time...I thought that it was as far back as that, that you meant 🤣 but yes chloroform was used but not thru a cannula it was dripped thru a cloth and held there by a sterile cage that fitted over the face...my sister had her tonsils out like that at 5yrs. We've come a long way since then haven't we??anyway thanks for your comment 🙂 stay safe friend.

Thank you for your continued support 🤗

I can never find one when I need it … now I know where they all are !🤣

Thank you for watching 🤗

Hmmm … Couple of the faces do look off … I’m wondering if it’s a poorly touched up photoshop attempt at correcting blemishes. The rest of it doesnt say AI to me. And of all the photos to AI generate this isn’t very dramatic… but you could be right … it’s so hard to tell nowadays … I spend so much time trying to weed out AI b/s that some are bound to get through sooner or later

I am not surprised if one might slip in on occasion, it's getting harder and harder to tell and I certainly don't blame you if you don't pick up on it every time given how much work no doubt goes into compiling and editing all the pictures for us to enjoy. Check out the fifth guy on the left, can't decide if he's got hat hair or a hair hat! Love you work and I always look forward to your videos, keep up the good work!

​@@violentcat345I think you're right.... especially about that man with that hair/hat. I think the hat of the man all the way at the back looks strange too.🤔

​@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Having spent many decades, before and after computers, correcting photos... They were trying to correct blurring by hand. The fingers give it away. No idea what they were doing with guys 5&7. The guy in the front middle only has 3 VERY bizarrely shaped fingers on his right hand.

@violentcat345 “Hat hair or hair hat” … that made me spit my drink out 🤣🤣 … I absolutely didn’t notice any of this .. as you say it’s time consuming enough just finding rare photos that haven’t been seen a thousand times … Theres definitely something going on … great catch on your part … glad you enjoy the videos 👍🏻

Certainly up there 👍🏻

Same here 👍🏻

Yes … This one looks like a new development to me .. But in a lot of cities with mainly rentals, this was a huge problem … New York City was known for it also back in the day … Everybody’s lease effectively ended on the same day !

Not true. That was the legend told by the charlatans who bought her from dry dock and turned her into a museum. She was a convict ship but only held prisoners in dock. She was a cargo ship then a prison ship... but NEVER a convict transport ship... that was all made up by entrepreneurs. None of the artifacts were on that ship. Although they were likely used on actual transport ships. ... Just not the success Heres the TRUE story. www.youtube.com/@AmazingHistoricalPhotos/community

​@@AmazingHistoricalPhotosso I guess the book I have about the ship that was published in 1929 and reports that "an official communication dated from Whitehall August 18, 1786, informed the Lord Commissioners of the treasury that the goals were crowded and that it would be necessary to ship the prisoners off somewhere" is inaccurate and the photos of a "the back of the prisoner being washed with cold salt water after a flogging"; the one of a prisoner being branded with a broad arrow in the hand; and the one of a prisoner being flogged with witnesses, one of whom has on a prisoners jacket and a ball & chain attached to him must have been faked too. Sad to think of such big lies.

@marionabbott7173 all of those things likely happened … just not on the Success

I was not aware of the book but a 10 second search shows that yes the book also was part of the marketing ploy of the lie … here’s just one of the countless references to the true story about the fraud of the story and the book www.phototimetunnel.com/success-the-convict-ship-that-wasnt

@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos thank you for the information. I appreciate it. I love the old photographs and the stories that accompany them...when true.
