Yes, this really happened. He was performing another one of his miraculously quick surgeries; a leg amputation.
As I’m sure the crowd was cheering, or at least throwing up at the site of an amputation without anesthesia, Robert came down to quick with a knife and ended up also amputating two of his assistance fingers.
When he drew the knife back up, he sliced the coattails of a bystander. He didn’t cut him, yet, the man died of a heart attack from fear.
Unfortunately, the patient, and the assistant, later died from gangrene.
300% death rate.
Anesthesia wasn’t a thing back then, so surgeons had to be quick, yet, not so efficient all of the time. Most surgeons on the quick side of slashing would lose at least one in four patients, Liston however, would lose one in 10.
British surgeon Richard Gordon claims that Liston would perform a leg amputation in two and a half minutes; at one point, he claimed Liston did it in 28 seconds.
