Speed Surgery

Learn the gruesome details of operations before anaesthetics or antiseptics – and see a real Victorian amputation set!


“I have broken my arm – I am a dead man!”
Demonstrations of Victorian surgery, when operations
were performed without anaesthesia, and a patient’s only
relief from agony was the speed of the surgeon’s knife...
A real amputation kit awaits...!
