Rivalarrival, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago) Ooh, my favorite surgery factoid… Robert Liston had a patient die of infection after a surgery, as did his assistant, whose fingers he accidentally amputated in the process. A witness to this event died of shock. Liston’s surgery had a 300% fatality rate.
