I don't even want to imagine the pain of a consensus amputation. I remember after the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989 (the "World Series" Earthquake) they had to perform several amputations on sight to free people who were stuck under collapsed freeways. I met one girl who was quite young then who lost her leg. She said that wasn't even the worse part. They had to tunnel through her mother's dead body to get to her. *THAT* must have been horrible, watching them hack her mother to peaces!
It depends on what you mean. They cut my leg off under general anesthesia so the amputation itself didn't hurt. My parents said I complained that my foot hurt after the surgery, but I don't remember any pain, or even having the surgery.
@@rilluma you really hate islam dont you lol if you got an agenda to push go and push it some where else you not gonna change anybodies mind on the subject if your muslim there is nothing to change your mind and if your anti muslim there is nothing to change your mind . your basically just yelling into deaf ears and wasting your time

That is true. Especially the maggots are interesting as they only like to eat dead tissue and puss, but won't eat any living tissue. That way they are FAR MORE effective than a surgeon who will accidentally cut into living tissue. Medicine is awesome!
I had an unknown 'tropical disease' which caused a LOT of pain. I tried a lot of things--acupuncture, 'health foods', meditation, narcotics--nothing worked well--a phlegbotomy (bloodletting) was arranged---& it worked! It drained the pain outta me like magic. 🥰 So we can't be too quick to judge what works & what's awful.
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.
They will laugh and mock at how twisted and barbaric our ways were. Using surgical tools? How risky and uncanny! Now we use machines with precise lasers to flawlessly perform surgeries.
I was born in what you call the 19's (the 20th century). When they say 19th century which is what you probably meant you would be referring to the 1800's hun.
It's fascinating how far medical science has come. In only 50 years alone, the human life expectancy jumped up 30 years. I can only imagine because more people got to keep their legs.
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!
(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
"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.
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.
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.
That would still be weird as fuck, and maybe still painful, unless it just disintegrate/vaporizes the limb before the nerves can send the pain signals.
@Avery, I would like to suggest a topic, which is quite difficult but I think you'd be up to the task - The British in India. There are many European history youtube videos but recent Indian history is scant and the Indian youtube market is growing *massively* everyday while China obviously blocks youtube.. Just a thought
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.
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.
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 !
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)
:O That is a great idea! I've added it to my list of future episodes! I want to do a video on the history of prostetics first, after that I might work on dentistry
No antistatics.............that's gotta hurt
Anesthetics
*Anastasia

So you use antistatics to make people more dynamic?
Kidboy A.G. Yep, we know what he was trying to say...
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.
I have already created a video on that very topic :)
As an amputee, I can say I am very happy that deep fried stump is no longer a thing!
omg i can't even imagine the pain. i'm a chicken.
So did it hurt

@@erictaylor5462 how did your foot hurt if they'd cut off your leg? Did the stitch back your foot??
So the cure for laziness was to cut off a person's leg, making it even harder to be productive. Seems logical.

the amount of legs amputated in this video is ridiculous.
I really tried getting my mileage out of that one animation. My new videos have more variety :)
Watching this my legs felt weird
Me too.😏
me too
Tot i was alone on this..jeez

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

Teeth pulling is the easiest bone amputation
@@danndidntask4057 I.. yeah..
For a good second there I thought people freaking used a printing press to amputate

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

there you go, fixed it for you.
Keep these videos coming, love watching them!
will do! I had some technical difficulties in the last few months but now that's that resolved, a video per week!
Nice keep it going

the bonesaw from TF2 tho
haha i said it after and got a liked comment from creator lol

Problem solved :D

Don't ever bring up panic attacks in the comments.. you almost initiated one on me 😔☹️
Is that the tf2 bone saw? Nice touch!
humanity is doomed
Okay, I just want to let you know so you dont make the same mistake in the future, but bone saws were a thing before TF2.
@Dyslexic Batnam Yeah mb king ur right
Good video, glad I found you in my recommended. Keep it up and I bet you’ll get at least a million subs 👍
So, The Misadventures Of Flapjack was right about Dr. Barber? Oh god...
You should do this history of circumsizions.
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.
Hopefully
That would still be weird as fuck, and maybe still painful, unless it just disintegrate/vaporizes the limb before the nerves can send the pain signals.
Or they just make it regrow?
Or just fix the problem without ambutating
Thanks! I really needed this for a story I'm writing!
I heard that before anesthesia, patients undergoing surgery would get drunk, so they would at least not remember the pain
The saw went through the leg in the intro and my leg fell asleep. That's enough internet for today I think.

I have recently became an amputee. The nerve pain is unbearable , can't even imagine no anesthetic.
That's crazy how in depth this was. Must have needed loads of research. My only thing is sound quality. Maybe a new Mic?
Once this earns me the money to buy a better mic (current one was about 80 Euro), I will! I am not satisfied with the sound either

now my every single limb hurts.
*thanks*
my aunt was an amputee,and sometimes phantom pains would make her life into Hell on Earth.
Amputations have now been shown to have existed for at least 31,000 years.
They put more effort into making weapons for war than they did for treating injured soldiers.
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
While we are on the topic of medical advances can we talk about the history of Dentistry.
