When it was first invented, the chainsaw had a very different purpose than it does today…

Maybe the C in C-Section is for chainsaw! 😳🤷 Just saying.
I just love the idea of some guy holding a limb as it's being severed from the (still conscious) patient and think "this thing would be great for getting rid of that tree in my yard."
You know, as soon as you said that it was used in the medical field it clicked! Using handsaws (bonesaws?) during the early part of the century during battles and war it makes sense that someone would want to create an easier-to-use device along the lines of what they already know. STILL not sure how a large device like that would be useful anywhere near a birth canal though D:
Used in childbirth?? I crossed my legs when I heard that and I'm not even female!
don't forget slaying demons, according to Bruce Campbell.
Ah, those were the days! Back when the Surgeon's Motto was:
"If you can't use it as a surgical tool, you're not trying hard enough!"
Wait so what im hearing is chainsaws are still used in the operating room?! 😬
Imagine your in labour and you hear a chainsaw start up in the next room
*distant slap-bass🎶
"This is a chainsaw"
Dear God
My wife's going into labor! Somebody get some hot water and a chainsaw!
Spider-man 2 That one doctor that tried to fight the arms of Doc Oct
The chainsaw. The beloved tool of lumberjacks and Mexican drug cartels.
Like a surgeon. Cuttin' for the very first time. Got your kidneys on my mind. 🎶
please bring these back
Always been weirdly fascinated by this story
Honestly I'd love to see a vid on tools that were medical devices or tools that are used wildly different now
The doctor, thinking I’m knocked out: 🪚brRRMMMMMMM
Me, paralyzed but alert: 👁 👁
Very rarely used???????
"You don't want that coming at you"
Wow, I had no idea. How fun! Perfect anicdote to creep people out at the next dinner party.
As soon as I heard…the chainsaw…I thought nooooooooooooo
Good God the past was THE Worst
"Bring me the epidermal tissue disrupter!!"
Fiction will depict chainsaws as a badass weapon.
Ahhh the Bone Saw!
The original chainsaw man
I get anxiety attacks in the dental office when I hear the drill, if I was in an emergency room and heard a chainsaw start up, I would nope out immediately and hope that I could find a home remedy!!
Most commonly used today to chop down trees. Less commonly used to?
I can't believe there were people who thought just ripping open the mother with a chainsaw was a reasonable solution. I guess some surgeons can have sociopathic tendencies.
If we end up with a WW3 scenario, I'm sure chainsaws might be seeing a "surgical comeback", especially where battlefield surgery is concerned.
Orthopaedic surgeons use a wide variety of power tools, mallets and chisels in their work. Even compared to other surgeries, ortho is gross.
"very rarely"… So not never
"Doctor Leatherface to OR……"
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAH!"
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
"AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
"Where DID you get your licence, Dr Leatherface?"
"TEXAS!"
Shit! That's it! I'm going BUPA from now on!
To be fair it probably was cleaner and faster than a knife so less likely to cause the patient to lapse into shock and psychosis. Still horrifying but that should put in perspective what surgery was like back then. Brutal and few survived.
I swear half the stuff ever made was for surgery
