Amputations did happen a lot but the amputee would not be concious except in extraordinary circumstances. Chloroform would be used to knock out the patient before surgery.
XDD lol! that is really fake.... look in the second 0:03 the hand, is fake, and the cut with the knife is a really really really bad cut... but it's nice! XDDDD this vid make me lol!
They did not have the antibiotics we have today, so when someone got shot in the arm or leg, it came off. If someone got shot in the torso and lived, they were left to die, there was nothing that could be done for them.
well depends on where you got shot. if it didnt hit the bone then you dont loose and arm or leg, same for torso. they would still opperate to have a chance to save em but mostly proved fatal
that guy sure is quiet

why did they do that in the civil war? did they do something bad or did they do it for no reason?

They didn't have proper hospitals and medicine back then so if a bullet hit your arm, doctors may have to cut it off so the infection didn't spread.

it looks like it would almost hurt more having it sawed slowly off rather than just bandaging it up really tightly.
