The Curious Case of Alexis St Martin (June 6, 1822)

- Being shot directly in the stomach isn’t generally conducive to living- a fact that makes the story of Alexis St. Martin all the more impressive because he not only walked off being shot in said organ at the age of 20 on June 6, 1822 at a range of less than a meter, but went right ahead and lived for another half century despite the wound going full Weathertop on him and never completely healing, giving scientists an almost literal window into how the body digests food. Watch the video for more on this fascinating story.

The necro-duck callback was brilliant.
Ryan Burton came here to say this.

I agree. It was funny.
#molestingmallard
We're gonna name that duck... PUCK...the f*ck-duck!
Disco Duck?! How bout Necro, Necro Duck !
I love this new series, this one especially. I'd heard of this story before but never in this much detail, the part about his stomach growing a new sphincter is crazy. I love that tifo can take clickbait stories like this and actually do their research and make a video that tells the full story, this series definitely needs to continue!
I'd heard of this story too, but not about the personal side of the experiments. The ones I heard gave the impression that the gunshot wound was clean, that the experiments were conducted over a short period, and that the doctor-patient relationship was routine. TIFO did great here.
This is an absolutely awful story. Please continue this series.
thats bad right
Completely forgot to disagree with you again, this series is worse than anything Netflix offered over the holidays, do one lad!
He put his tongue where?! He taste tested what?!!
*DRY HEAVES*
That is sooo sick!!!!
ewwww....
FOR SCIENCE!!!! ;-)
Thoroughly enjoyed it...keep it coming? LOL
So, can we guess that one of Simon's next TopTenz list is "Top Ten List of Doctors in History that You'd rather die than let touch you."

At least I was eating my supper while watching this. Probably should have waited..........
So far this is the best channel you have going
im loving this serie, even more than the normal content and i really like the normal content. amazing job!
please, i beg you, add a note about the duck joke at the end with a link to the related video; that would make this perfect and funny for everyone in the future.
Continue these please. This is totally unacceptable if you stop.
John Roscoe agreed.
I tried not to laugh at the duck. . . I failed.
I heard duck. Count me in. Edit: Finally saw the duck. I rescind my prior statement.
Duck Fuck
The duck callback was priceless! I am loving the slightly more irreverent graphics of this particular segment. I wouldn't want the rest of the channel to change! But I do really enjoy "On this day"!
The duck was nothing compared to this. On the other hand, I have heard of this story but not with all those details. I am feeling like passing beside an car accident.
I went to Mackinac Island many years ago with my parents. I remember a tour guide telling the story.
If I remember correctly he outlived the doctor as the tour guide related the story.
Terry Grossmann Cool
is his family still exist?
awesome video. and the duck at the end had me rollin. nice tie in
My great great uncle was Dr. William Beaumont.
I never knew that he did these... "Interesting" things.
It's still cool to learn more about my ancestors and my family.
I never would have thought you would be covering him.
hard to stomach.
Love the new format! Really interesting and odd case.
Why... Why bring the duck back into this? 😂😂
Our video editor, Sam, came up with that tie-in... Not going to lie, it induced a hearty guffaw from me the first time I saw it. ;-)
Today I Found Out here in Luxembourg it is already pretty late... i laughed so hard my neighbors might heard me...
After the description of the male duck's er, um, equipment, I will never again enjoy Donald and Daisy Duck as long I live.
I hope the duck appears in more videos. :-)
Today I Found Out its the kind of inside joke you boys spoke of on the podcast, love it.
UA-cam need more of you and your videos. Keep up the *fantabulous* work.
The duck was a nice touch/tie-in. Love this series😁
Greeeeeeeat video. Still not over the duck
Same here.... i used to love duckys.... well used
Suna Grimmel I have a friend who’s parents raised Mallard Ducks 🦆 all throughout my life up until recently... They always seemed a little overprotective of the ducks. 😳
I know about this because I live in Michigan. I used to live within sight of Mackinac Island. I didn't know all the details, though (he licked the dude's stomach??? Ewww!). Great video.
Jesus, this doctor was a straight up cartoon villain.
Aside from Simon's charisma (which is an obvious plus to any video), this newer model is very good thus far! It gives the viewer some water-cooler topics as well as using the dates to bring obscure historical narratives into the modern day in such a way that they seem relatable, as opposed to reading them in a history book where one has no feeling of connection to them. Good job gentlemen! All in all, another triumph!
Thanks!
Today I Found Out
That was the most objective judgement I could give ya'll. Hope it helps and was along the lines of what you were looking for. As a subscriber of all your channels, objectivity was actually quite hard! Keep up the good work!!
I'm from Michigan and my 4th grade class learned a quick, PG version of this story. I remember feeling grossed out and fascinated by it. Some people are true heros of history and must people don't know about them.
Love these new videos
Haha. That duck at the end from the previous clip lol
The visual stings added the little extra Today I Found Out needed.
Our new video editor is really earning his pay on these. :-)
I love this new series sm
Haha, I love the graphics on this segment. Keep it up. And the duck...
Your channels are all fantastic. Learning be it You Tube or books etc is always a good thing.
GREAT episode. Love the format, and the animations were perfect!
I am living for the amazing new editing, keep it up TIFO crew!
Was that the great-great grandfather mallard? It seems to be an implied family tradition.
Now that was the best of the series yet! I actually heard of the story before, but did not know the details, so you guys for digging them up for me!
I've now seen three of these and I'm starting to love them, keep it up!
Enjoying this series. Keep them coming!
This is fascinating. Thank you for uploading, even though the subject matter would it's not be monetized
This is a great series. Thank you!
Absolutely fascinating! Please continue!
I'm really enjoying this new segment, please keep it up.
I very much appreciate your efforts to enlighten us to these tidbits of history.
Really enjoying this new format.
Me: Having a perfectly good night.
Beaumont: "What if I stuck my tongue in-"
I'm thoroughly enjoying these.
Love the new series.
I hope it continues.
I love stories like this. Awesome content.
I love this segment.
Love the new series! Keep it up, guys! ♡
I like the series so far. Please keep up the good work.
Simon, you looked more relaxed and casual. The maps on the back wall were a nice change of scenery. All in all, a nice video. Both visually and intellectually. I will like to see more videos like this.
loving these please continue
OH my gosh, the duck landing on the statue was hilarious!!! Please more of these videos - I love them!
A Brave and Bold Man Of Science was Beaumont! LOL Simon, you and your site are Fantastic!!!
That was a great format style, witty and engaging. That will win you extra minutes and views. While the "day in history" concept is practically a form of divination as far as subject selection, I think it can work. It's a bit Monty Python-esque, which really helps keep these academic matters alive.
For a Christmas episode, you could do an interwoven episode of George Washington crossing the Delaware (good tactic, bad sportsmanship), with the Hessian mercenaries saying, "Well, if you're going to play it like that, we quit. This job doesn't pay enough to miss the holidays!"). Then intercut with the controversy of Isaac Newton's birthday and how calendar changes put all such dates into a bit of chaos during history. ("We know it happened, but WHEN it happened depends not only on where you stand on the issues... but also on where you were actually standing at the time.")
Really great video Simon!
Love this series, keep it up!
If you're ever in Prairie du Chien, WI, the Fort Crawford Museum has a ton of info on Beaumont and St. Martin. Most traumatizing part of my childhood...
Between this guy and Phineas Gage, America has an impressive surplus of medically educational horrifying graphic injuries.
"I'm not going to try and massacre his name......" while simultaneously massacreing his name in intentionally comical fashion. I LOVE this damn channel.
I read about this patient...maybe he was examined by other surgeons also, I read as Lester R. Dragstedt studied this patient .... because of this patient Dragstedt discoverd a Procedure named vagotomy.... finally I was lucky to hear other part of story...thank you for this wonderful information
Great series, keep it up!
Keep them coming! They are quite enjoyable
This is amazing! I knew a bit about this story but not in this much detail! My history buff nerd brain is satisfied.
I think that duck is going to become rather popular on this series.
I love this concept for the channel
I'm starting to like those even more than the regular content
This is a great new series and I am loving all of the Simon videos. I can't get enough of the info that you serve up. Thank you Simon and team.
Really liked this. Do more, do more!
I think I'm going to pass on the chicken this evening.
Thunder HammerX Makes me want chicken even more... My bad. 👀
I like this day in history. You should do more of these videos
Really enjoying the format and content of these videos. Also, necroduck could be a recurring feature forever.
Amazing that Beaumont was able to help him survive so severe a wound. Is there a record of exactly how he treated it?
Love the series!!! Keep it going dude!!!
That Jingle is just so catchy. It's a modern masterpiece
“Help” 😆Lol! The editor deserves a raise.
Always good to hear the darker stuff about science and medicine.
I wish you would change how you write the title of the video so that we know what the video is about.
but I do love this new series
I just noticed that you upload videos related to the date back then. How did I not notice this before?
Interesting. I live in northern Michigan and have heard about this a few times, but not in such detail. Thanks for the info. This new format is great.
Love it! Really interesting content and lay out
I like this series! Please keep it up.
Simon, a disclaimer should have been attached to warn people not to watch this video within an hour of breakfast, lunch, or dinner...
Otherwise, it was a great video, very interesting!
"stuck his tongue in the stomach for science"
Some times, even if it's for science, ought not to be done for the sake of sanity
Love this series
great series
This is awesome. please keep it up!
Love the change!
Loved it Simon.
I like this series. I wanted to see a few before commenting and I liked each one. Thanks.
I can vividly recall a diorama I saw on Mackinac Island in 1968 featuring St Martin being examined by the Doctor and that gaping hole in his stomach.
This, by far, is one of the grossest stories I've heard in some time. Great vid even though it was disturbing.
This is crazy. Mackinac island is only 3 hours away from where i live!
I like the idea of a today in history type thing, but I like the regular TIFO format better
Excellent and thanks
I'm enjoying this series, and I'm hoping there will be one Friday, because I was born on that day, lol.
what an Easter Egg. Please make "Necrophiliac Duck" part of more videos.
Love the addition of the duck towards the end 😂😂😂😂😂
This is very interesting thank you so much for this video. I've wondered for a very long time how people back in the day survived punctures to their digestive system. I had no idea how they would heal someone before IVs and modern intestinal surgery, I never would have guessed enemas
I prefer the old format. The animations are distracting.
Oh hey I remember learning about this guy on TVO Kids!! Ah Canadian tv... Lol
However uh.... It was.... Uh a more..... Sanitized version than this tf
(Like it didn't say the details)
You could never get away with this sort of thing today.
Sometimes you just amaze me with TDIH! You need to keep them coming
