Podcast appearances and mentions of robert liston

This week we are are dipping our toes into medical history, discussing the life and times of the fastest surgeon (possibly) ever. A native Scotsman, Robert Liston was already an accomplished surgeon while still in his teens. But while his talent was great, his ego appeared to be even greater.After annoying his colleagues in Edinburgh for over a decade, Robert found himself being passed over for plumb positions to the point that he decided to move to London to see if the English would be more appreciative of his skills (and tolerant of his personality).A man who combined natural talent with an inventive mind and a total inability to accept anything other than perfection, Robert Liston was definitely the may you wanted in charge of your operation, but the last person you would ever want to work with.Guest Host: Ang Reddoch Hosted on Acast.

I dag snakker Per og Henrik om Robert LIston (1794-1847). Han har rekorden for å ha gjennomført opperasjonen med høyest dødsrate gjennom tidene på hele 300% (!!!). Opperasjoen var en beinamputasjon hvor pasienten dør av en infeksjon i såret etter amputasjonen, en annen får fingrene kappet av og dør av blodtap, mens den tredje og siste dør av sjokk. I tilleg til selve oopperasjonen får du vite hva som skjer med Robert Listons liv og virke både før og etter opperasjonen. Det er også duket for NRK-hjørnet. God lytting!—-----Today, Per and Henrik talk about Robert Liston (1794-1847). He holds the record for having performed the surgery with the highest death rate of all time at 300% (!!!). The operation was a leg amputation where the patient died from an infection in the wound after the amputation, another had his fingers cut off and died from blood loss, while the third and last died from shock. In addition to the operation itself, you will learn what happens to Robert Liston's life and work before and after the surgery. The stage is also set for the NRK corner.

This month, Claire and Marjorie examine the letters of Henrietta Liston, a British botanist, world traveller and wife of diplomat Robert Liston. Liston documented her travels with meticulous detail in her journals, letters and personal documents which form part of the Liston archive held at the National Library of Scotland (NLS). Thanks to the NLS, Marjorie has spent time delving into the archive, including exploring her writing about her time in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire and in North America in its infancy as a country, all through the eyes of a wry, learned woman. The Liston Papers are available to explore at the National Library of Scotland. Find out more: https://digital.nls.uk/travels-of-henrietta-liston/ Our thanks to National Library of Scotland exhibit curators, Dora Petherbridge and Patrick Hart for their generosity and assistance. Claire and Marjorie also discuss Heather Yeung's poem, Fable, written in response to her examination of the Liston Archives. A teacher in the School of Humanities at the University of Dundee, Yeung's poetry often examines ecology and culture, making Liston, with her extensive travel and her love of botany, the perfect figure to draw inspiration. Join us as we read 'Plague, Princes and Political Embarras: a Constantinople Letter from Henrietta Liston' and 'Fable', a poem by Heather Yeung. -- Open Book Unbound Episode 55 – 3 July 2023 Hosts: Claire Urquhart and Marjorie Lotfi Producer: Colin Fraser Cover Image: Henrietta Marchant Liston (1800), painted by Gilbert Stuart, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Kan man egentlig speedrunne en amputation? Det spørgsmål stillede lægen Robert Liston sig selv tilbage i 1800-tallet. I en tid uden bedøvelse var det nemlig med at få hugget det ben eller den arm af så hurtigt som muligt. Oftest mens at du holdt patienten nede, så de ikke sprællede for meget. Og Liston var den bedste. Ikke nok med, at han var bygget som en dørmand, så havde han også den hurtigste skalpel på kloden. Faktisk gik det nogle gange liiiiiige stærkt nok. For eksempel dengang, da han skulle amputere et ben og formåede at dræbe både patienten, en tilskuer og sin assistent...

Det var ikke let at leve i det victorianske England. Faktisk var det bogstaveligt talt noget lort.Og som om det ikke var nok at ens vandforsyning er fyldt med afføring og kolera, så kunne man faktisk ikke rigtig blive helbredt for noget. For der var nemlig større sandsynlighed for at dø på hospitaler end hvis man blev hjemme.Med mindre man var så heldig at komme i hænderne på Londons hurtigste kirurg, Robert Liston, der kunne fjerne en arm på 2-3 minutter - på en almindelig dag!Lyt med når Nikolaj fortæller om victoriansk medicin i London og hvor farligt det egentlig har været at gå til lægen.Kilder:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK481552/ https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12262-021-03272-5 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00381-012-1994-3 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1440-1622.1999.01721.x?sid=nlm%3Apubmed https://www.jstor.org/stable/40111377 https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/10/time-me-gentlemen-the-fastest-surgeon-of-the-19th-century/264065/ https://semmelweis.hu/hok/en/2019/11/07/dr-robert-liston-the-fastest-knife-in-the-west-end/ https://www.pastmedicalhistory.co.uk/robert-liston-the-fastest-knife-in-the-west-end/Support the showKøb billet til vores liveshow i Odense!

Penguin Book of the UndeadPeter Jackson's  Dead AliveI was half wrong about potatoes Spirits of malice1009-1018 ADBrandenburg Germany formerly Wasleman EventsPriest shows up, a bunch of people chillin in the cemetery, dying to get inPriest doesn't recognize anyone, strange for 1010s because it wasn't exactly a melting potWhen he gets inside he sees some lady that recently died, she is telling him all his stuff is taken care of but he'll be dead soon. Dignitaries and guards also saw ghosts holding candles and prayingThey vanished when the observers got close thoughLaterBishop here was made aware of the scenario and was like you need to stay there and cleanse the place. He sleeps there and ghosts toss him out on his cotBishop says do it again or no ballsThis time at midnight the ghosts lifted up his bed and dropped him on the altar and immolated him, he was covered in holy water and gear but they didn't care.They burned his body “until only fine ashes remained.”“As the day is conceded to the living, so the night is the dominion of the dead.The Blackened hearts of StapenhillSometime between 1118 and 1150 somewhere in Anglo Norman EnglandAbbot Geoffrey of burton writing about saint Modwenna What happened2 shmucks defending the monks at the monastery decided that wasn't good enoughMonks steal their crops to get them to come back They flip out with the count and attack the granariesThen the count sends knights to destroy the monastery's crops.Monks+ abbot knew they're trying to get them to fight back and get killedInstead chill in the church and moan at saint Modwenna's bones.Insane battle scene where 10 holy knights fought off sixty of the counts men when they didn't get the don't fight memo in a ridiculous slapstick battle. w/ power of god.The two flunkies that started this whole thing just died immediatelyThey're buried that night but seen the next dusk carrying their own coffins around/ bears, dogs, or other animalsThey brought ghost plague and they were so ugly everyone died (minus 3)The count says screw that and repents The other three including Drogo ( the money man) didn't die but fell illWith the monks they dug up the rapscallions and found their face linens covered  BLOOD Creepy pasta is not new See above where (this definitely happened bro trust me)Time to rebury themCut off the headsStick them between the legs/aka up the a**Rip out the heart like Mola ramCook it until it pops and a bunch of crows fly outNo more ghosts, no more sicknessThey all left for the next town over and abandoned the city.THE EVIL WELSHMAN1140-1208WalesWalter map wrote this in “on the trifles” a satire of oral sources and historical narrativesWhat happenedTrust me bro Will Laudun was a knightSome evil Welshman died and rose up 4 days later, this apparently doesn't warrant explanation, nor does it merit more than a cursory glance, it wasn't just Jesus, you could be a welsh prick and just show upSo they kill him again in one sentence, chop off his head with a shovel and hose him down with holy water, I need to get hosed down with holy water after that googling. But that didn't cut it. A phantom showed up, but without a zombieThe phantom challenges William by calling his name 3 times and will follows the demon back to it's tombAre we demon's bloody Marys?Will cuts off the ghost demons head, and it falls back into the graveEveryone that was sick heals, “We know for certain the outcome of this case, but we do not know the cause.”Rampaging revenants1130-1200William of Newburgh collected tales for the history of English affairs“Numerous examples from our own time are at hand and testimonies of the fact are abundant” -on corpses walking the earth. Trust me bro my cousin hunter saw it it's totally real. Buckingham countyWhat happened:Big fat guy dies, next night he shows up in his wife's bedroom and almost crushes her under his prodigious girth, 2 nights in a row.3rd night he shows back up but she's having a slumby with some townsfolk and they tell him to get the heck out and he leavesSame happened with the guys brothers but they also warded him off.Next the whole town is on watch while this left for dead 2 boomer waddles around trying to squash people eventually in broad daylight. Invisible to some people but they could still hear and presumably smell himThe townsfolk talk to the local priest, he sends it up the chain and the bishop is like f**k, another one? We get these all the time, all over England. Ya gotta burn himThe priest thinks that's icky so writes him a nice letter of absolution, opens the grave and puts it on him and reburies the tomb. This ends the rampageWhat else happens?In a different part of England, because this was so common an occurrence: A wicked wealthy man had died, and like the rest of them, he casually got up and literally I quote from the historical text: “Pranced hither and thither, accompanied by loudly barking dogs” He terrified his neighbors and went back to his tomb at the crack of dawnThe townsfolk describing this are my favorite characters in the whole podcast, except maybe Robert Liston, time me gentleman still makes me chuckleI picture Monty python commoners delivering the hither and thither lines and “We fear we may be beaten black and blue by this undead monster” and what I think is hilarious besides the obvious of that is theirs no description of the man or his howling hellhounds10 of the bravest village people, dug up the guys corpse, ripped him limb from limb and burned the pieces Next evil spirits made everyone sick. Definitely not from ripping apart a week old corpse. WHAT NEXT?Another dies, this time a priest that hunts with dogs Starts haunting the church with a quote “Great groaning and hideous murmuring” Monks don't care because they kick ass for the lord He haunts his old mistress, she tells the monks to do something4 monks stake out the tomb and it's all quiet. When 3 are asleep he crawls from the graveMonk freezes and gets his courage back, buries a battle axe in him and the monster fled away, though not as quickly as it had came, you know on account of the battle axe.The tomb eats it, they dig it up he's covered in goreWhat next, I'll give you three guesses they rip him up and burn him“I have told this story in plain language, exactly as I  heard it myself from devout men”WHAT NEXTHappened at castle anatisAn evil wealthy man Becomes lord of the castleHe increased his vices instead of trying to go clean whatever that means, he got a wife Heard rumors she was a hoor, servant helps him sneak into his own bedroom, sees her getting railed  by the neighbors Teenager. He faints the teen takes off, she's like honey what a terrible dream you had.Fainting back then basically meant you died the next day so the priest that told William this story showed up to give him his last rites and he says wait till tomorrow then croaks without them.There's cool shit about medieval times like sword fighting and feastsOf course, get this, he wakes up dead. Dogs show up and start screaminEveryone feared being beaten black and blueThe dead man cause another plagueMany people died many leftTwo brothers, whose father had died of corpse breath, decided to take action into their own hands while everyone else was doing palm SundayThey uncovered the corpse “Swollen to an enormous size, its face bloodied and bloated beyond measureThey stabbed it with the shovel unleashing a never ending torrent of bloodThey take it out rip it apart, cook the heart and roast the bodyAll the disease and stuff stopped“Now that I have explained these events let us return to the course of history”That's just in a history book more or less. CrazyIn conclusionI wonder if there's anything to thisSome of the articles refer to this never happening before or sinceIt's so funny how stuff says the same and all the horror tropes are thousands of years oldWhy don't these stories pop up today? Are they fake or was this really everyday life back then?

Anthropodermic Bibliopegy is the process of binding a book in human skin.  Today we talk the history, and notable examples of this ghoulish practice.  Sources: "Thunder, Very Close, Rain, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.orgThe Madman's LibraryKISS BloodSaddam's book clubAnthropodermic book scienceAnthropodermic bibliographyNarrative of the life of James Allen, alias George Walton, alias Jonas Pierce, alias James H. York, alias Burley Grove, the highwayman : being his death-bed confession, to the warden of the Massachusetts state prisonFate of the blenden hall Loose Transcript:Hi everyone, welcome to another fabulous episode of nightmare now! The show where we brave brutal books and bring out blasphemous bloody business for breaking up a banal bus ride or business meeting. Hope everyone is having a great week, mine's chaotic but at least I don't have polio. My laptop switched the microphone part way through the original recording so I went to edit and half of it sounded like I was screaming like a lunatic into walkie talkie in a tunnel, the other half sounded all messed up because I was using the wrong microphone. The audio is beyond my capabilities to repair without summoning some kind of audio demon so here we are talking about a cursed media. Again.  Work is still crazy and gets crazier by the day so I think for now I am going to move release days to thursday mornings starting next week, I hope to eventually get the research synthesis turnaround a lot faster as I streamline the workflow but for now I think doing the show on weeknights is gonna help with consistency and my sanity a lot more than procrastinating with the homies on the weekend and then trying to outline, record, edit and promote monday night till 3am. So keep an eye out next Thursday for next week's show. I think that's more than enough housekeeping stuff for now so let's just  dive right into it, Today we're talking about a crazy little thing called anthropodermic bibliopegy If you're up on your latin or history you may be able to figure out what that means, but if you're not it's the lovely art of bookbinding… with human skin. A practice with a wide reaching and surprising history. My main source today is the lovely coffee table book I received as a gift, from myself, The Madman's Library, by Edward Brooke Hitching. Luckily, or unluckily depending on who you ask the madman's library is just bound in regular old paper, whatever cardboard paste stuff they use to bind modern books. It's really cool, basically hitching was the son of an antique book collector and from a very early age fell in love with books, especially rare, unusual and unique books. Within its pages he collects and references hundreds of such books including ancient religious texts, giant dusty codices, bestiaries, grimoires and more, you could do a whole podcast on weird books alone, so we'll definitely be coming back to this one. One chapter in particular I want to highlight in our first foray into literary curiosities is the one entitled “Books made of Flesh and Blood” which immediately caught my eye. It starts off innocuous enough, with traditional books bound in cowhide or rabbit fur or snakeskin,  things like that, that were common practice since the dawn of book binding. From barely worked tanned hide to elaborate, ornate skin designs, there's a whole spectrum, but specifically we're looking at books bound in human skin but we we wouldn't be covering it on the show if I, I mean you the disturbed listener didn't want lovely Literally “hand” crafted journal, like made by hands from hands. Perhaps a tasteful nipple skin latch to keep your embarrassing thoughts about your crush truly secret from prying eyes. Ed Gein would probably have a couple of these laying around if he could read. So what would possess somebody to do this exactly? Well for one thing, it's a hell of a conversation piece. And it sends a hell of a message to boot. Oftentimes a book bound in human skin was a list of misdeeds of an executed criminal. It was sort of a punishment beyond death for the convicted and it saved a goat or cow, isn't that nice. You had the accounts of murderers crimes bound in the murderers own flesh which is metal as f**k and probably houses some insanely bad juju. It wasn't just murderers though, for example you had traitors getting the same treatment. Most of the time after death. Speaking of treatments that's a good segue. How do you take human skin and make it suitable to cover your fifth grade textbooks? Apparently there were 2 main ways of getting the skin ready. That's of course after you have the skin of the person. I can't get into the pretreatment because, well, there's more than one way to skin a person… If I reveal how many I know I feel like I'll get some calls from the FBI.  Anyway, once you have the skin, hopefully humanely sourced. You could soak it in lime water, take off the hair and chunks and goop afterwards, and just go to town with tannin compounds to tan the hide. The alternative is just to go the foul bachelor frog route and blast it with piss. A surprisingly versatile tool any problem solver needs in their metaphorical toolbox.The ammonia dissolves the fidddly chunks and pubes and guts  and gets it ready for stretching and drying. And if you're feeling real fancy, and you want a nice sheen and luster on the cover of your new skin book, all you had to do was give it a rubdown with a nice rustic stain varnish cocktail made by mixing dog dookie, bird poop and water. I mean if you're gonna do it, do it right I guess.  There's some great stories in here about notable examples of these books and the people that made them, and also the people they're made out of. The first one actually goes back to a previous episode, the one on Robert Liston, so check that one out for more info, alternatively, if you've got a time machine skip ahead a few months till when we do a deeper dive on burke and hare, resurrection men, and the body snatcher arms races. But the short version was that william burke and william hare were a pair of scumbag murderers, with a get rich quick scheme that was basically just cutting the natural death middle man out of the cadaver trade, murdering victims and selling the bodies for medical research, but when they were caught, partially thanks to our boy liston,  TIME ME GENTLEMEN! Again check that one out!  Hare I believe got some kind of squealer plea immunity deal or something to sell out Burke and get out of the hangman's noose himself. Naturally Burke wasn't so lucky. He was hanged for his crimes on january 28th 1829 and then immediately dissected and flayed. A fitting end for his crime spree of selling bodies for dissection. I don't remember that part of alanis morissete's ironic.They took the newly flayed skin and turned part of it into a wallet for the prison guard that kept an eye on him and they took more of the skin to put a complete document of the trial and evidence of his case in writing into a neat little skin book that currently resides in the surgeon's college in edinburgh along with his skeleton. They really used all the parts of this dude. This practice continued pretty much until it fell out of vogue in the late 1800s, it wasn't really as popular to be skinning and tanning human hide anymore, at least not outside of texas that is. There was one other notable criminal skin book that a friend mentioned to me when I brought this topic up. Thanks Gabe! He called my attention to a book currently housed in the boston athenaeum (a thuh nee um) called the Narrative of the Life of James Allen, alias Jonas Pierce, alias James H. York, alias Burley Grove, the Highwayman, Being His Death-bed Confession to the Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison. They really didn't care much for brevity back then, side note theres also a great chapter on weird book titles in the madman's library that make that one look like a haiku.  So james allen, aka jonas pierce, aka the highwayman ect ect was a highwayman. I guess that much is obvious but whatever. He was in the state prison in Massachusetts and his health was failing, he wasn't on death row or anything, just kind of old and sick and in jail. He knew he was on the way out and wrote down his death bed confession but here's where it gets weird. His last wish was that when he died, they use his skin to pind two copies of his f**king confession and memoirs. One would go to his prison doctor that was taking care of him at the end of his life and the other copy went to a John A. Fenno Jr. The story with him was that James Allen, being a highwayman, or maybe just a big johnny cash fan, tried to rob this guy at gunpoint years ago before he was in prison, and john was the only guy he robbed that ever fought back or resisted and James Allen found a weird admiration for that courage later in his life. The highwayman, James, actually shot the other guy John, but the bullet richotected off his suspender buckle or something and he survived. James Allen was so moved by this display of bravery in the face of certain death at his hands that when he died he had the other copy of his skin bound confession presented to John Fenno Jr. You gotta imagine waking up to get the mail back in the day walking out in your f**king bunny slippers and the post man stops by and is just like taop of the mornin to ye mr fenno, I gots me a parcel for ya from the state prison” you cautiously unwrap the sring on the package, hands trembling and it's just the memoirs of the guy that tried to murder you bound in his own skin with a little note that just says, “ you got scrote and I like the cut of your gib laddy”  like what do you even do? Th..thanks I guess and put it up on the shelf. Full disclosure I don't actually know what's in the book but I found an internet archive link to the full book if you want to know more, I'll throw that into the show notes at nightmarenow.com. Let me know if there's anything cool in there it's only like 40 pages or so. Later on fenno's daughter donated the book to the athenaeum after her father died and it has remained there ever since. This case has been pretty well documented and even was proven to be genuine man leather by an organization called the Anthropodermic Book Project. They were another cool source for this episode because these are the guys that test all these books  via peptide mass fingerprinting. This is a process where they take a tiny sample of the book digest it with enzymes and run the resulting digestate through a mass spec machine to compare the spectra of the peptides in the collagen in the skin from known values for mammals like goats, cows, deer and humans. For the non-lab science inclined they basically turn a piece of the skin into juice and run the juice through a machine that says what animal it is. Think karen from spongebob dissolving seaweed to find out it's 50% sea and 50% weed. Kinda like the turtle from finding nemo. One book was about pituitary issues causing gigantism or other hormonal abnormalities, and that was bound in the skin of a literal giant from a ringling bros circus standing eight foot six. There's not a whole lot of detail available on that particular case but at least it's on theme right?Like I said the whole human skin books industry started to collapse in the late eighteen hundreds but there are a few exceptions, this one's apocryphal but apparently some lady had a book binder wrap up their love letters in her dead husband. That was in f**king 1958! Again not a whole lot of detail on that one but there's at least an implied consent there.The earliest form of the practice is, of course, a bible. Dating back to at least the 1200s bound in the skin of a young woman. And I've seen enough criminal minds to know that this s**t probably still continues here and there to this very day.Another semi famous, yet non criminal case was of a huge, anonymous fan of camille flamarrion. A french author focusing on astronomy. Camille commented on how soft and smooth this gal's skin was and she was super into it. A real i f**king love science type broad. This is your typical nasa t shirt wearing neil degrasse tyson groupie type. That reminds me I need to send him a mean tweet for talking s**t about UFOs the other day. Anyway, this chick was pale and glamorous mostly because she had tuberculosis. Anyway she was about to kick the bucket from the consumption and her last wish was to HAVE HER SKIN DONATED TO HER FAVORITE SCIENTIST PERSONALITY. To be turned into his next masterwork.I guess there wasn't a whole lot of paperwork or government oversight in 1882 france, because and this is a direct quote. “In accordance with her wishes, her skin was taken by the celebrated Paris physician Dr Ravaud, who delivered the roll of skin to Flammarion's residence himself. He told Flammarion he had flayed the ‘marvellously attractive young woman', whose name he was forbidden from revealing, just ‘a few minutes after she passed on'.” unquote. After that a copy of camille's latest space novel was bound in her skin and theres actually a picture of it in the book, it's quite elegant.When I eventually release a patreon or something so I can quit my job I'll have notebooks in my own skin available to my highest tier subscribers in the event of my death. Seems like a fair tradeoff. That kinda closes the book on notable cases of human skin books, actually there's a copy of the french constitution bound with the skin of a revolutionary, but after that we've covered the flesh, but that's only half of flesh and blood. That's right you guys are lucking out today, because I have a whole second half of this topic. Books written in (Toccata) Human Blood… This might be a little bit easier or harder to stomach for people based on how you feel about blood. On the one hand you've got the fact that people didn't necessarily die to use their blood in a book, although I guess you could say the same for skin in modern times with skin grafts and whatever but I didn't find any evidence of that, that's pure speculation. But on the other hand it's blood and that makes some people flip out. If you're not into the blood, you probably haven't listened this far but also now is your last warning for avoiding a whole lot of slicing, quills in fingers and really metal manuscripts. If you gotta shut off the show, remember I'll see you on thursday instead of tuesday because I really can't do tuesday anymore famalam. I'm not fooling anyone saying I'm gonna be working on weekends, so it ends up me being up till three am outlining, recording and editing on monday, spreading those out over a few weekdays will lead to a much healthier mental state and workflow for me. Worst case you can delay listening and play it tuesday morning. I've spoken with a few listeners and it doesn't seem like this will be an issue. I'm also gonna take this week to pull together the facebook page because I've got family and friends asking for it. Thursdays at seven it is! I love you all! If you can stomach the blood let's get to in the second part of the show, what good are books bound with flesh if they don't have blood running through their inky veins?  We're talking books written in human blood.Now depending on how you feel about blood the books written in blood are generally less brutal than the ones bound in flesh. Based simply on the fact that getting blood is a lot easier on a person than getting their skin. It's much less damaging to prick your own finger and write in blood than it is to have your back flayed. You're much more likely to survive the former.What you find in blood writing pretty often is monks, are monks? That's a weird grammar thing. We'll go with is, what you find is a lot of monks. Monks gonna do monk things, so a lot of times they would copy manuscripts in their own blood as a form of piety. They would slice their fingertips, make little cuts on their chest or ugh slice under the tongue. Didn't they do that on jackass? That seems really f**king painful, not skinned painful but definitely unpleasant. It seems like the lighter the blood appeared on the page the more pure of heart the writer was so that's a neat little metric to test yourself with. And test themselves they did, draining blood from their fingers just to get another page done, there's some great pictures of these you can find online that you can see where on the page the coagulants in the blood actually started to clot on the page and then trail off and become lighter until the next prick to get more blood ink. It's really f**king cool in my opinion, interestingly some of the text that is copied in these blood manuscripts describes a pious buddha ripping off his own skin for paper, using his own blood for ink and snapping a finger bone for a quill. Like bro chill! I'll drive you to staples!Aside from monk manuscripts, of which, theres a lot of them, there's a few more crazy examples I want to get through. One of the most interesting is Saddam's Hussein's blood Qur'an. This is absolutely the most notable recent addition to the flesh and blood books. In 1997, Saddam Hussein as a nice little sixtieth birthday present to himself, commissioned, from a renowned scribe, a copy of the Qur'an written in his own blood. I guess eveyone goes through their rawr XD goth phase at different times. He said quote “My life has been full of dangers in which I should have lost a lot of blood but since I have bled only a little, I asked somebody to write God's words with my blood in gratitude.” unquote In a letter to the media a few years later in 2000. Reportedly he was hooked up to exsanguinate around 27 liters of blood, not all at once, to be mixed in with ink, to write out the three hundred and thirty six thousand words in the Qur'an. So after a few years this was actually achieved, whether it's actually all his blood might be up for debate but they did produce a Qur'an written in his blood. Needless to say, Saddam's lucky to not be losing a lot of blood line really didn't age well. The quote “war on terror” clownfest started and we're gonna yadda yadda yadda all that and by 2006 Saddam was executed for his war crimes. Interestingly enough, I came across  in my research that in addition to all the f**ked up s**t he did as the dictator of Iraq, he still had time to write FOUR f**king novels? ROMANCE NOVELS? About a medieval Iraqi leader falling in forbidden love with a beautiful girl. Allegorical to represent the Iraqi people while he seduced her in spite of her husband, read as the USA. I guess his rawr XD phase was longer than we thought. The others were historical fiction, and one included a particularly ham fisted scene where the hero destroys two towers in the land of christians and jews. Not touching that one. I guess he's not exactly a role model, but it  really says something about making the time for your creative pursuits even if your'e erm… busy with your job and responsibilities. What's interesting from my admittedly limited understanding of the islamic faith, it's blasphemy to produce a Qur'an in this manner, and another blasphemy to destroy a Qur'an no matter how it was made so the state of saddam's blood Qur'an is in a weird catch 22 where it shouldn't exist but nobody wants to destroy it. As far as I can tell now it's scattered in a few vaults in Iraqi government buildings. Phew, really hope I didn't offend anybody there. Obligatory I love all my listeners. Now, MOVING ON. Marvel comics did a limited run KISS comic 1977 that they mixed in a vial of all the band member's blood into the ink in the printing factory at marvel. So that happened, a little bit more of a sensational marketing gimmick but it's verified and worth including. That one is kind of hilarious in it's own right without me editorializing, especially if you're familiar with the more idiotic ways KISS has merchandized. I'll put a link to the KISS KASKET in the show notes for the uninitiated. Lastly we've got one that isn't actually written in human blood per se, but the original copy of Fate of the Blenden Hall, was a diary written about the harrowing shipwreck ideal of the crew of the blenden hall, by its Captain Alexander Greig. The problem was that while a desk and paper washed up like it was a cartoon, there was no ink. He had to keep a record as his captain's duties so he needed to make do with the next best thing. His 82 day account of the survivors of the wreck, including illustrations, was done entirely in penguins blood. Damn, talk about unhappy feet. Shipwrecks though, now that's a great topic!That's what I got today guys, it's good to be back! Again sorry I skipped a week but I think changing up the release is the best thing to do, it was totally arbitrary to begin with and this will give me a couple more weekdays to get s**t done instead of just doing research on the weekend and trying to do all the rest on mondays. Thank you all so much for all your support, it means the world to me and I can't wait to keep the show going in perpetuity.

I'd say sweet dreams, but we all know it's only gonna be nightmares now! 

Busyness doesn't always equate to production.Lamentations 3:25The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

In this episode of Half-Arsed History, learn about the disastrous Battle of Karansebes, the speedy surgeon Robert Liston, the Pig War (which hardly features any pigs at all), the submarine H.L. Henley which was very good at half its job, the broadsword-wielding Fighting Jack Churchill, and the fraternal rivalry that led to the establishment of both Adidas and Puma.

You may have heard of bodysnatchers Burke and Hare, but they were far from the only ones who engaged in selling dead bodies for coin. We talk about them but also the Ghoul of Richmond, Ben Crouch, resurrectionists in the United Kingdom, and more.

I'm the host, Erik Byrne. Today's episode is gonna be another short one, lets say truncated or even amputated. It opens up a whole topic of medical horror like a bonesaw to an artery. I'd love to do more episodes on the wider subject of the insane stuff humanity used to call medicine, but I'll split that up and sprinkle it into the feed at large over time. I don't want to spend too many episodes in a row on one particular topic. Maybe if I was doing this in seasons or something, but for right now I'm gonna jump all over time and space like I've got cosmic ADD. Maybe down the line I'll curate collections of episodes on broader topics like medicine,  history or animals, but for that to happen I need to pump out more of that thick squidgy content. So without further ado I would like to jump right into the blood and guts of today's episode. I give you the fastest knife in the west end, the slickest slicer south of the north sea, Robert liston!Robert liston was a prolific surgeon in britain from around 1818 to his death in 1847. He was born in late october of 1794 to a minister and inventor in Scotland. He grew up fascinated with medicine and anatomy and after a rudimentary schooling as a boy went on to attend medical school in edinburgh (edin-bruh). He left for a while to study under this guy william blizard in London and eventually returned to edinburgh to teach anatomy there before becoming a surgeon and then kind of bounced between london and edinburgh throughout his life. He got canned in edinburgh and moved to london, came back then went back to london where he lived out the remainder of his days. He married a wine merchant's daughter along the way who isn't mentioned in most of the articles and the one's she's in don't even really give her name. Give the ladies some coverage too c'mon! Given her absence in most of the literature here I, I don't think there's much relevance to me covering her either. Sorry mrs Liston, I'm sure he couldn't have done it all without you. We'll take a brief second to pour out a whiskey for the happy couple and make a note to find some strong women leads for future horror stories on the show. Back to old robert, that covers most of the biographical information of any relevance to the medical insanity we're going to be jumping into today. I think he'd appreciate the brevity and cutting to the chase as you'll soon find out. So during this time period of history, people had a Fairly good idea of how most of the human body worked and how to fix a lot of the medical issues people had. But it certainly was far from perfect. I mean even today we're far from perfect. Reminds me of a time I tried to give blood like two years ago and they had to take the needle in and out 3 or four times because they weren't getting any flow. After squeezing the stupid rod for ten minutes and not filling a drop of the blood bag, 2 nurses and a doctor later some tech figured out that they had crimped the wrong tube. They just gave me the coupon for the free whopper or whatever and told me to get out of there, so there's kind of individual incompetence like that and societal incompetence like the fact that back then other surgeons thought you were a pussy if you washed your hands before or after a surgery. Most notably and most relevant at the time though was that speed of the operation was of the essence. The longer you went with an open body cavity or bleeding stump from an amputation, your chances of dying skyrocketed up. You lost more blood, you became more susceptible to infection, (although that wasn't really well understood at the time), and you just have an overall lower chance of survival. Enter Robert Liston. He really, really leaned into the faster surgery good, slow methodical surgery bad. And now we're getting into the reason this dude gets his own episode on my prestigious show. Picture this, your leg is green and sickly from some horrible 1800s infection probably just from stepping on a tomato that somebody stored their sewing needles in or something. Before antibiotics and other more modern inventions or discoveries it was just kinda like, that's gotta go. And then it's we let you keep your shrek leg and you're guaranteed to die, or we chop that s**t off and you've got like a one in four chance of dying. Han solo was right when he said never tell me the odds I guess. Dr Liston's whole schtick was that given a faster surgery you had a more likely chance to survive, why not take that to its logical conclusion and go for the speedrun records? Liston wasn't called the fastest knife in the west end for nothing, he would perform an operation to amputate a limb, that means from the first slice, having the flesh cleaved away, the bone sawn through and the stump stitched back up in Twenty Eight seconds flat. I can barely imagine that. Most podcast ads are about thirty seconds so next time you're listening to something that isn't this show, take note when there's an ad and imagine someone being strapped down with buckles, held down by assistants, have their hand sliced off and sawn through, all the while screaming and writhing, blood squirting everywhere while Liston is looking down on him with his knife literally in his mouth because he doesn't have time to put it down to switch to the bone saw. Then stitched back up to become captain hook, and he yells at his assistant with a wild look in his eye “time! how fast was that?”  Seriously, every article on this guy is called some variation of “time me gentlemen! Time me” because that was his catch phrase before a surgery. He would show up and make sure people had their stopwatches out before he got started. Everyone just had those in 1800s england. Aside from all the blood and screaming, twas a silly place.Liston may have been a cocky lunatic but he basically had every right to be. He was easily the fastest surgeon around and he had a far better mortality rate than most hospitals and other surgeons could claim at the time. I mentioned earlier his one in four surviving operations versus one in eight to ten averaged out elsewhere. Beyond the RBI he's working with, liston was overall a pretty good guy, sure a bunch of people died under his knife, but who hasn't gotten zapped playing the operation game once or twice. He would actually hang out outside of rival hospitals and when people got turned away because they were quote un quote “beyond helping” he would be like “look, no guarantees but your gonna die if you don't get some kind of treatment and I'm right here with my liston knife and stopwatch if you want a chance to live… maybe…” Yes a liston knife, he invented himself a new kind of amputation knife to speed up the procedures. And he would just chop em up right there. Maybe he took them to an operating room, the literature is unclear. It's funnier if you imagine he's doing this in the parking lot of a rival hospital. Through getting victims, erm patients like this he probably saved a good deal of lives that didn't have much of a shot at survival anyway. Pioneered isn't really the right term but, liston certainly championed, making people comfortable and assuring them stuff was okay, when it was most definitely not okay. He wasn't always the most, let's say “tactful” with this, in one example a guy was getting a foot amputated for frostbite but he got cold feet. Huh? Huh? Cold feet? Anyway he panics before the operation and locks himself in a bathroom. Liston tells him from the outside “it's all gonna be fine mate”, and just hears back “noooo I'm not ready” He replies, “I am, you're gonna be alright, but I got tea time in 3 and a half minutes!” He breaks down the door like he's f**king jack torrance “EERS ROBBY” yanks him out and straps him down. Successfully performs the operation and the guy goes on to be a renowned boat captain. I don't know if it was actually frostbite but the pun was too good to pass up. Furthermore, on being a great guy, he stood up for hygienic practices that were not yet commonplace at the time, for example washing your hands. He would argue with more senior surgeons about so-called experience, saying it didn't matter as much how long you've been doing surgery, it was rather how many surgeries you had done that accumulated experience, something that I would tend to agree with. If any surgeons are listening let me know at nightmarenowpodcast@gmail.com what you think, or fact check me or whatever you like. One more really interesting side note on liston is that he was also tangentially involved in catching a pair of serial killers operating in london in 1828, for more information on that take a gander at the Burke and Hare murders. This was a rabbit hole, maybe a hare hole I couldn't really go down to deep on this episode but the gist of it was that in this era, corpses for surgical practice and medical study were extremely difficult to get ahold of, basically the only way to get one legally  (with a big airquotes around legally because even this was shady) was if the deceased was some guttersnipe or foundling with no familial ties, found dead. Or if you wanted to go the more nefarious route, paying a ghoul or graverobber for a fresh body right out of the cemetery. I'll definitely cover all this grave robber stuff on a future episode because there's a whole ghastly arms race of people getting better at stealing bodies and people making all kinds of ridiculous inventions to prevent it after they died, like a giant wrought iron cage around their coffin. Medical students and schools would have to pay for these bodies, and to these two guys burke and hare, it was good enough money that after a girl died in their motel and they sold the body they figured they could just cut out the grim reaping middle man and just kill people and sell the bodies for a great rate on account of the freshness. Maybe we'll go more in depth on them in another episode but thats the basic gist of the case as far as relevant details to Liston.So one day Liston was dealing with this dude, Robert Knox, who was another surgeon and pretty close to a sort of archetypal “rival” character to liston. He shows up at his office, or operating room or lab or whatever it is  and sees this girl that suspiciously got there within HOURS of her death, for experimentation. God what a f**king ghoulish time right? He paid Burke and Hare 8 pounds for her. Adjusted for inflation, that's like 930~ish british pounds or a little over twelve hundred us dollars. Liston thinks this whole thing is weird, and then Dr knox puts her naked body in this lewd display preserving her in whiskey for a long time, like months, before he's set to do the autopsy. That seemed extremely disrespectful to the body of this woman, Mary Paterson, even for the time period. Liston sees all this still happening next time he comes by and just beats the everliving f**k out of knox, Liston was 6'2'' and pretty jacked, I don't know if I mentioned that yet. After he puts knox on his a** he take's mary's body and tells knox to f**k off, and gives her a proper burial. Later on the police would finally catch Burke and Hare by interrogating Knox, but not before they killed sixteen people for cash. Liston wasn't all great all the time, however. He may have been the fastest surgeon around but that didn't always lend itself to making him the most careful. I want to take a few minutes and go over some of his most famous screw ups. Some of the sources swear the veracity of these claims and some of them say they might be apocryphal, embellished or outright fake. It's more fun if we take all this at face value because old Robert had himself a few big oopsies under his belt by the end of his career. One notable one that he didn't technically f**k up, it's just wild is this dude had a scrotal tumor that weighed like fifty pounds. He had to carry his nuts around in a wheelchair. I think I saw a TV show where that happened in modern times and the dude just wore an upside down hoodie as sweatpants. That's definitely a nikola tesla “you will witness man made horrors beyond your comprehension” moment to have that on TV. Who would do a piece of exploitative media like that on horrific topics? Hmm…Moving on. As far as I can tell the guy lived, I don't know if he could spread his scrotum skin to turn into a flying squirrel at the point but I'm afraid to do any more research on that. Speaking of nuts there was another case where liston was amputating a leg and got quote “Overzealous” during the operation and in his attempt at breaking the land speed record of a knife went right through and lopped off the guy's testicles too. In his defense he did manage to take the leg off in under two and a half minutes. I just don't know if taking the testicles off counts as a bonus time or penalty time. I also can't find word on whether or not that guy survived or not. Maybe he didn't want to at that point. It's not an easy time to be alive overall especially with one leg and no nuts. Another hilariously gruesome operation, and this time I'm using the term operation very loosely, was when Liston was brought, a young boy. The boy had a red pulsing mass on his neck and liston got into an argument with another surgeon about what to do. This is where his legendary confidence didn't do him a whole lot of favors. While arguing about whether or not the growth was a run of the mill skin abscess or a more deadly carotid arterial aneurysm, Liston reportedly paused mid sentence, yelled POOH, Who ever has heard of an aneurysm in one so young as this!!” He then whipped a scalpel out of his pocket and sliced it. Arterial blood started shooting out immediately and the kid died very very soon after that. He was how do we say, “Dead wrong” Finally we reach his most famous case, which may be partially, or entirely fake, but again for the sake of EDUTAINMENT value here we're gonna take it at face value. This is the only reason most people have ever heard of Liston. He was performing a routine, As routine as this slapdash bloody affair could get, amputation of a leg again. Presumably he was trying to beat his speed record. So he's there, the patient is there tweaking out because he's about to lose a leg, and he's got a few assistants helping hold this mf down. Furthermore he has a couple of people watching, either to learn from him or just because I don't know video games weren't invented yet and watching people get sawed apart was the next best thing. There's a reason they're called operating theaters after all. Right? I wanted to narrate this like an old timey horse race or friggin UFC fight or something being likeHe's starting right from the word go, old knifey comes out of the gate swinging and starts sawing with reckless abandon timothy you ever see anything like this in all your broadcasting years? Oh there's the blood, he's splitting a bone and oh what's this what's this, Collateral! I've never seen anything like this! That gets old quick, anyway, he hacks through the leg and everything, and I mean everything, part of the table, and more importantly two of his assistants fingers. That's gotta be a speed record at least for a triple amputation right? No he's going for a bigger record. So while listons cleaving through multiple limbs like he's doing a mortal kombat finisher he swings even wider afterward and rips the bonesaw through an onlookers coat. This is an old man and after seeing a leg and two fingies get tossed onto the ground the fear from thinking he's been stabbed by the blade liston's working like it's a f**king black and decker turkey carver the old guy has a heart attack and dies right there on the floor. He didn't even get so much as a nick, just straight up fear killed him. Scarecrow would be proud.  So he's gone. Nothing they can do about the old fella, so they go back to look at the patient and the new assistant slash patient. Liston and the other assistants rush these guys to the hospital in to see what they can do but both the assistant and the original patient develop an infection from slicing through each other. And both of them succumb to those infections within days. It wasn't uncommon what was uncommon was Liston performing the worlds first, and as far as I know only surgery with a three hundred percent mortality rate. That's crazy I don't care who you is. You try to fix one person and and end up killing three and still get a statue of yourself put up one hundred years later. Any statue people make of me will inevitably be torn down once the masses discover my vulgar podcast.Liston's career wasn't all blood and gore however. In fact he was partially responsible for ending his own wild west brand of hibachi surgery. He ended up being the first person to do a public surgery with the aid of anesthetic. He even had to roast americans while he did it even though we invented it. He said something to the effect of “let's see how these yankee shenanigans work lads” and did a surgery on a dude after blasting his nose full of chloroform. Reportedly the guy woke up after the chloroform, WITHOUT A LEG, and asked when the operation was gonna happen and he was scared because he wasn't ready, boy did he get a rude awakening when they lifted the sheet for him.That was a big hit, and from then on people have been using anesthetics so you don't have to do a speedrun every time you do a surgery ever since. That was 1846. He died about a year later from ironically, an aneurysm and is remembered today through content hungry podcasts. That wraps up the story of robert liston, now it's up to you to decide! Was he a lunatic murderer or a good doctor doing the best he could. I recorded this in advance as well but this is the last one. After this release things are hopefully week to week or at least every two weeks. I'll have had a website built by now at nightmarenow.com. That's where you'll find the shownotes, pictures, blog posts, all the links to the sosh meeds and anything else you might want to find about the show. Again, I'm so glad you took the time to take a listen to my little project here and I can't wait to grow this show and community together! Have a great week everyone!

Robert Liston , born in 1794, was a Scottish surgeon noted for his speed and skill in an era prior to anesthetics. Known for his skill performing amputations, speed made a difference in terms of pain and survival for patients. Then, is our infrastructure garbage in the US? Jean thinks so. Walk (or drive) through a brief history of urban transportation and how personal automobiles shaped urban planning in the United States. This is the Road to Ruin.

Surgery was a bloody and unsanitary business for much of the Victorian Era.

Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens. TW: Death/Dying and Human Remains In episode 030 Elle chats with Cat about her work caring for anatomical and pathological museum collections for nearly twenty years. She discusses the transition between working in Edinburgh City Mortuary and moving to England to further train in wet tissue collections to returning to Scotland to work with pathology specimens in Surgeons' Hall in Edinburgh. We also discuss shifts in perceptions around death and dying, and what that has meant for Cat.  Cat Socials https://thesewanderingbones.wordpress.com/contents/ https://twitter.com/AnatomicalCat https://www.instagram.com/anatomicalcat/ Surgeons Hall https://museum.rcsed.ac.uk/ Hunterian Museum Glasgow https://www.gla.ac.uk/hunterian/ Alder Hay Scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Hey_organs_scandal Authors Cat Mentions Ian Rankin - https://www.ianrankin.net/ Michael Sappol -https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691118758/a-traffic-of-dead-bodies William Burke Murderer                                                                          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murders Charles Anderson https://surgeonshallmuseums.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/the-tibia-of-charles-anderson/ Robert Liston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Liston The Lister Project https://museum.rcsed.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2014/december/the-lister-project-update Cat Research  https://surgeonshallmuseums.wordpress.com/2020/02/28/put-a-lid-on-it/?fbclid=IwAR21mWizyElx7EZmlfvRUG8o-RCGzHPT_LTYhLPDF55DrUDoOvT1GYMieE0 https://surgeonshallmuseums.wordpress.com/2019/02/22/a-few-words-about-formaldehyde/ Elle Kaye socials  www.instagram.com/ellekayetaxidermy Podcast socials www.instagram.com/specimenspod www.twitter.com/specimenspod www.patreon.com/specimenspod www.ellekayetaxidermy.co.uk/product-page/specimenspodmerch Artwork © 2021 Madison Erin Mayfield www.instagram.com/madisonerinmayfield https://twitter.com/MEMIllustration Music Giraffes - Harrison Amer via premiumbeat.com Researched, edited and produced by Elle Kaye Concept/Title © 2020 Elle Kaye

As a consumer of macabre and grotesque media, you the listener may believe yourself to be already acquainted with the story of Robert Liston.  Thousands of websites, podcasts, and even peer reviewed academic journals and publications have recounted the fantastic story of an operation performed by Robert Liston which resulted in the deaths of not only his patient, but also of his surgical assistant and a bystander.  The story goes that in his efforts to expedite as much as possible the process of amputating his patient's leg, that Liston accidentally removed 2 fingers from his assistant, and whilst flourishing his knife about also nicked the coat of an observer.  The patient died on the operating table, the man whose coat was slashed died of a heart attack, and the assistant died some time later after the remaining stumps of his fingers became gangrenous.   This story has been recounted hundreds of times, each telling inevitably concluding with the clever summation that this was the only surgery in recorded history with a 300% mortality rate.     If this is the story that you are hoping to hear, you might soon be disappointed.  That disappointment stemming from the fact the aforementioned and often repeated story of surgical buffoonery never happened.    Robert Liston was however an extremely interesting character and one whose true story is filled not only with blood and questionable ethics in those agonizing years before anesthesia, but also with accomplishment and achievement. So, how did everyone except Where is the Line? Get this man’s story so terribly wrong?  How do I know that everyone except Where is the Line? Is wrong?  Who really was Robert Liston and what might it have been like to go under his knife during the age of agony?   Find out on this episode of Where is the Line?

Gustaw Adolf Michaelis i Philipp Semmelweis – odkrywcy aseptyki Szpitale do końca XIX wieku spływały ropą, krwią i brudem. Śmiertelność z powodu zakażeń była równie wysoka jak ta z powodu powikłań pooperacyjnych, np. przez wykrwawienie się po zabiegu. Nie było sprzątaczek, rzadko prano posłanie, na którym jeszcze rzadziej można było znaleźć pościel. Operacji często dokonywano na tym samym stole na którym poddawano sekcji przypadki dydaktyczne. Największy chirurg tamtych czasów Robert Liston nosił noże operacyjne ... w rękawie. Nic dziwnego. Jeździł od pacjenta do pacjenta wykonując szybkie, pokazowe operacje, potrzebował mieć na podorędziu narzędzia. Dziś wydaje się oczywiste, że kluczem do zahamowania rozprzestrzeniania się zakażeń jest aseptyka. Pomysł Michaelisa, aby myć ręce przed badaniem położnic albo Semmelweisa, aby czyścić sale operacyjne i narzędzia karbolem oraz, żeby odkażać ręce spotkał się z szyderstwem i drwinami ze strony środowiska medycznego. Obaj, owładnięci ideą czystości skończyli tragicznie. Michaelis, rzucił się pod pociąg, kiedy zrozumiał, że to on przenosi chorobę z martwych kobiet na żywe, a Semmelweis, okrzyknięty szaleńcem został zamknięty w szpitalu psychiatrycznym. Dopiero prace Pasteura, "wynalezienie"; bakterii i niestrudzone apele Listera aby myć ręce powoli zaczęły przynosić dobre skutki.

In a lot of ways, Robert Liston was a pioneer in the field of emergency surgery and amputation. He was one of the first surgeons to use anesthetic, for instance. Surgery in the 1800's was brutal, but Robert set a number of records. Some of them were even good. Sources: Dunea, George. Robert Liston - The Fastest Knife in Town. Hektoen International.

In our very first episode EVER we discuss Robert Liston. Robert was an incredibly talented surgeon born at the turn of the 19th century. Liston was most known for his speed and dexterity when performing gruesome surgeries prior to the invention of anaesthesia. In this episode, we discuss the man and his impressive accomplishments, but also some of his moments that were truly unfortunate.

If the news has you down, this episode is sure to cure what ails you!* Ah, modern medicine. A pill for everything, marijuana on demand, and the sweet release of anesthetic oblivion for anything more invasive than a teeth cleaning. Medicine wasn't always so accommodating, however. This week, the guys slice into the story of Dr. Robert Liston, the "Fastest Knife in the West End," who could amputate a limb in a matter of seconds in a time before anesthesia, when every moment under the knife was sheer agony for the patient. Never mind that the occasional assistant's finger and/or patient's testicles were accidentally removed along with the intended limbs; Liston was working too fast to worry about such little details!   *Call your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, hilarity, euphoria, awe, or a sudden urge to reach into your phone and strangle Kevin and Jason.

Liston is most known for a tale about how multiple deaths resulted from one of his surgeries. But that means that his entire biography as a surgeon is dominated by the apocryphal events of one day. So today we’ll unpack his career and ethics. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

In 1832, Robert Liston the prominent Scottish surgeon, amputated a leg in under two and a half minutes. It was the single fastest amputation in the history of medicine and remains to be to this day. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the surgery he also managed to accidentally kill his young assistant by amputating their fingers, slash through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator (who dropped dead from fright) and kill the patient. It was the only operation in history with a 300% mortality. This is his story…

Rufus legt de Wet van Zipf uit, een taalkundige regelmaat die je doet twijfelen aan het concept vrije wil. Sanne heeft het over Robert Liston, een man die ooit een operatie uitvoerde die met drie keer meer doden eindigde dan er patiënten waren, en toch de geschiedenis in ging als een bekwaam chirurg. Camiel vertelt een paar anekdotes over internationaal verdwalen in de moderne tijd. In de opname verwijzen we een paar keer naar links in de shownotes, maar Camiel was te lui om ze op te zoeken en over te tikken.

Wie passend, dass unser Held in dieser Folge ein Namensvetter ist und – oh Wunder – sich die Folge natürlich um Medizin dreht: Joseph Listers operierte Königin Victoria erfolgreich gegen einen Abszess in der Achselhöhle.
