It's just a flesh wound!
Mithi
Because we shortened the bone.

Why was the leg cut, was it just for a gun shot wound?
Thisaccountwillbethedeathofmysociallife
IIRC, amputation was also used to prevent infection. Before antibiotics, dying from infected wounds were just as likely to kill soliders.

Whelp, I was going to eat lunch

I know it's fake but are leg bones really that small?
JoeinCanada
They are a marvel of biological engineering. If they were big and solid you would not be able to move well. But they still break easy.

"Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck" I said, as I almost puked out my lunch and covering my eyes.

This is an incredible re-enactment shot by Kevin Wolf, not a real amputation but damn, it looks so intense.
nowitsshowtime
I'm pretty sure I'd rather just smoke that pipe and die than actually get my leg amputated like this.
KarlSharx
I was almost unsure until your comment. Thank you.
DarthBaneoftheSith
Oh man ok I was like what fuck can't stop scrolling.
MrChiPigg
Man. This whole time I thought it was real.
ChanningTastum
I don't believe you
samsonguy920
Pretty sure it was much the same up to the Civil War, as well.
samsonguy920
US Civil War, not the Marvel Civil War.
MrRemy
Thanks for clarifying.

Well, someone did lose an arm in MCW...it could be confusing

OMG, youbda real mvp. I could not have had any sleep without you, today. Huhh...

Are you sure this isn't a real one? It doesn't need to be the 1800s for some lunatic with a camera to cut the leg off of a dressed hostage
dciaran
There's no blood.

This legit raised my blood pressure til they zoomed in on the bone... Phew!

*shudder* That's some scarily vivid prosthetic effects... O_O

Plot twist, those aren't prosthetics bro.

The saw was too clean. It was the only detail they weren't careful with...

The everything was too clean.

Ah yes, they forgot the tetanus

Don't worry, anesthesia will be available in about 100 years
ElCommento
How is this not top comment?
GuardLLama
That's easily the most horrifying part of all this.
Arrkhal
I kinda think part of the continued popularity of bloodletting was just to knock people out, since there weren't many other ways to do it.
Arrkhal
Don't know about Napoleonic wars, but during American Civil War it was VERY common to treat gunshot wounds by bleeding until they passed out
NewWorldMan
What the fucking fuck was that?!
EClaire1073
I think it was salami.
snarkface
It was an amputation from the Napolionic era.
NewWorldMan
fucking horrific, thats what that was
RottenKitten
Circumcision.
GregoryMilner99
Don't worry, I don't think it was real, you can tell because the clothes they were wearing were from a period when cameras weren't that good

You read the tittle. You knew what you were getting yourself in to!

So what happens to the blood that gets pumped down that sewn-closed artery?
BarryDeKokiner
Never thought about that before..

There should be a whole conplete Wikipedia article about this, but it's probably just a stub.
Itsaidthecharacterlimitforusernameswassixtythreesoithinkthisis
Huh, hmm.

I, too, had to come back after closing this page, because I realized what a great comment this was.

Amputation for a gunshot wound fuck that haha
mcretso
Guns in that era were mostly shooting .60 calibre soft lead bullets. Taking a hit was like a hit from a hollow point + lead poisoning.
JoeinCanada
If you notice they did probe for the bullet at the beginning but the assumption was it was too deep to be dug out. So off with the leg.

Sawing on bone has always been the only part that gets me to cringe.
realmdweller
One of the hardest parts of watching the opening of Glory.
erischilde
The bone.. how about the part about going into the artery? I wanna know what they were doing but i've got so much heebiejeebies.
Vydrach
Arteries tend to contract when fully sliced through and bleed less than a gashed one. Plus they pulled it out with that hook thing and...
Vydrach
I imagine they did something to stem the blood flow that wasn't shown, tied it off or cauterized it, probably.
erischilde
again, i'm jeebieing so fucking hard. grab the vein/artery with a wire, pull it, burn it. OMG. suhdder
marjarooni
Bf and I talked to a colonial Williamsburg doctor and I asked how they did amputations. Apparently there was one with a 300% mortality rate
Wuhaa
So he killed the patient and the two holding him? Did he use a bomb to perform the amputation?
Thisisnotreallymyname
The patient, the doctor and assistant all died?
marjarooni
Yeah. I think he nicked one poor guy right in the groin and the other asked him a question and he gestured with a knife and had another oops
BaddaBingBaddaBoom
Yup. Something about poor hygiene and a fast moving infection
kainreborn
I want some morphine after watching that.
