No antistatics.............that's gotta hurt

So the cure for laziness was to cut off a person's leg, making it even harder to be productive. Seems logical.

As an amputee, I can say I am very happy that deep fried stump is no longer a thing!

Being a below-the-knee amputee, this was pretty interesting to watch. As a continuation of this, it'd be neat to see the history of prosthetics.

Watching this my legs felt weird

the amount of legs amputated in this video is ridiculous.

I thought you were about to suggest they used printing presses to remove limbs

Leeches are actually still used in some cases today, also maggot debridement of wounds. I learned this in nursing school

For a good second there I thought people freaking used a printing press to amputate

Man thank hell I wasn’t born in the 19’s

You say we're lucky we live in the present time but I'm sure some1 will make a similar video about our times in a thousand years and say the same thing.

Not even 500 subscribers? How? With that kind of quality i would expect way more. I really hope you're gonna get the audience you deserve!

4:30 Well, cutting hair is basically one of the easiest of amputations

Just imagine all the minor injuries you've had in your life, that 1000 years ago, would of resulted in your amputation or death.

This is a great way to teach, the simple yet detailed art style allows you to accurately show something without making it graphic I subbed

He's lazy? Remove one of his limbs so he moves slower. Flawless logic.

Me: Miss my leg is itching so much it hurts. Teacher: *Cut it off then*

This is disturbing but interesting at the same time

I lost my leg 3 years ago. I find this video so interesting and think it's surprising to discover that amputations improved so long ago and then got bad and then got better again. That is encouraging to learn.

As a recent amputee, I am so grateful that medicine has progressed so much! Even with strong pain medications, the pain was absolutely unreal. Morphine wasn’t even touching the pain. After 2-4 days, it got better. I just can’t imagine being awake AND having no pain relief. WOWWWW!

Fun fact: Since Barbers were put in charge of amputations during the Dark Ages, it's actually the reason why we often see that iconic red and white swirling pole outside the shop. The white represents the bandages, and the red represents the blood. Yeah... think about that next time you go for a haircut.

Phantom pain is real I have it on steam

youtube recommendations going wild

the audio was so good that it sounded like youre actually there.. well done

(5:55) When he said the printing press (it’s the weekend and I’m sick, so I’m not thinking to the fullest extent) I thought he meant they would take a patient, put their limb under the press, and it would just, you know, pop it off. I was terrified for a second

When the fire nation attacked! Oh wait

HEY! I found this much easier to watch at x1.25 speed.

the bonesaw from TF2 tho

"The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine" by Lindsey Fitzharris is a fascinating read for those interested in amputation/antiseptic history.

One of the best educational videos I've found from a small channel. It's done really well, subbed

a moment silence for hundreds legs cut off in this video......

holy crap i'm glad i wasn't alive before the 20th century. amazing video too. you earned yourself a new subscriber!

6:53 Why are we still here... Just to suffer? I CANT FEEL MY LEG! :(

sees the first saw in the video me: OMG ITS THE BONESAW FROM TF2

Keep these videos coming, love watching them!

this chanel is so underrated

The saw went through the leg in the intro and my leg fell asleep. That's enough internet for today I think.

One day we will have a machine that we just stick our leg or whatever in for about a minute then when you take it back out it's just gone and healed.

I clicked because bonesaw

I had a panic attack, but I watched the video to the end, cause it was fking interesting

Doctor: *lazy and bored* Doctor: Ay yo I got a idea fam lmao

the fact that you used the tf2 bonesaw, i liked

That bonesaw is from tf2 lolol

Good video, glad I found you in my recommended. Keep it up and I bet you’ll get at least a million subs 👍

Is that the tf2 bone saw? Nice touch!

This channel is underated

Good video mate, I expected you to have more subs! Good editing and animation. I subscribed.

The dumbest 2 seconds of my life was spent around 5:53 wondering how the hell did they use a printing press to amputate limbs... and yes, I'm ashamed of myself.

2.8k subscribers.. But you will grow! Excellent quality animations and content. I've subscribed.

I heard that before anesthesia, patients undergoing surgery would get drunk, so they would at least not remember the pain

You should do this history of circumsizions.

"The History of Amputation in Europe Explained" there you go, fixed it for you.

I really love your videos! you gained a subscriber. I first saw you in Our Country? Europe. Keep up the good work mate

This is so interesting, I love it!

So, The Misadventures Of Flapjack was right about Dr. Barber? Oh god...

Wow dude you have an amazing channel and conent, subscribed!

Aye awesome new channel discovered

Thanks! I really needed this for a story I'm writing!

i came from the medic saw from tf2.

my aunt was an amputee,and sometimes phantom pains would make her life into Hell on Earth.

For those who want to know and don't understand the metric caliber system improperly used in this case, musket calibers could be .75 caliber or more.

I like your content. I subscribed

Do I see Medic's Bonesaw?

I learned something today thx to this video

That's crazy how in depth this was. Must have needed loads of research. My only thing is sound quality. Maybe a new Mic?

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDIC!

why didn't the doctors just google how to amputate instead of waiting for someone to copy a book and send it around the world

Awesome video and I learned a lot

I lost both legs. It will change your life forever just don't allow it to shorten it.

I have recently became an amputee. The nerve pain is unbearable , can't even imagine no anesthetic.

My grandpa lost his leg in ww2 fighting in the sticks . All he had was whiskey and morphine on his wait for rescue that took 6 hrs . That's a real man !

This reminds me of one scene from the T..V. series M.A.S.H. In a one of episode Hawkeye learns this operation that would end up saving the soldiers leg, but in another episode, he ends up being left in charge of the M.A.S.H. unit and during a big push they are flooded with injured. So in one scene, Hawkeye has no choice buy to amputee a soldier leg because there aren't any other doctors around to help and does the operation would take too much time due to the heavy wondered.

Send this to your friend and Say “Wink Wink”

Awwww that's hurt. I remember when i watch the movie of St. Ignacio de Loyola.

So glad I live in these times.

Wow your videos are really really high Quality!! Love it!!

I for one thank you for not showing any graphic content since I'm kinda squeamish, great and educative video.

is that the TF2 bonesaw? i know it's a common design, but even the colors are the same

it's ok I can take the pain doc! instantly dies

My left ear thoroughly enjoyed this. In all seriousness though, great video!

Some people make it numb by tieing a string and burning it off..

While we are on the topic of medical advances can we talk about the history of Dentistry.

meanwhile in horror movies and games they just chop it off and walk away like nothing happened lmfao

I was going to give the video a thumbs up.... The problem is, both my thumbs were amputated...

Great video, surprised you dont have more subscribers.

They put more effort into making weapons for war than they did for treating injured soldiers.

Civil war soldier: has a cut of his leg. Civil war doctors: 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡

Barbers where sergeons not because they were skilled with knives but because they were the only people who had the correct equipment to do so. That is the origin of the barber pole. The red and white pole was a way to show the public that the barber was also a sergeon and later a dentist.

OK MR KZfaq I WILL WATCH THIS

my body feels funny..

*me watching this*: "They CRUSHED limbs in the printing press!?... Oh printed medical documents of course...."

You deserve a lot more subscribes. One of the most underrated channels.

Im high asf

I’m new and I like your content I subscribed.

That was my phobia when i was younger

The 19th doctors uses amputation a litte too much You have a rash?*CHOP*

So barbers amputated, now I understand the Monty Python Barber sketch!!

Actually, in the Middle Ages they did cauterise the wound. Furthermore, there existed a primitive pain killer called dwale (pronounced "dwaluh") and the main ingredient were hemlock and henbane. Then, as time went on, using pain killer during operations went out of fashion, as the concoction itself was dangerous, and it was believed that pain was both redemptive to the patient's soul, and necessary for the surgeon to monitor their condition. Lastly, no historian today calls it "the dark ages" anymore. They split the medieval period into three parts: Early Middle Ages (c. 500 - 1000 AD), the High Middle Ages (c 1000 - 1300 AD) and the late Middle Ages (c 1300 - 1500 AD)

Amputations have now been shown to have existed for at least 31,000 years.

Educational, Interesting, and extrodinary.
