Scottish surgeon Robert Liston performed the only operation in history with a 300% mortality rate:
(1) He quickly amputated the leg of the intended patient who subsequently died from gangrene;
(2) The fingers of his young assistant were also accidently amputated and, as a result, died from gangrene;
(3) In his surgical exuberance, he also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished spectator who was so terrified he dropped dead from fright.
In Robert Liston's second most famous case he amputated the leg of his patient in 2 1/2 minutes, but in his enthusiasm removed the patient's testicles as well
Sounds like his hands were just too powerful... to preserve life... Joy I had no idea, but I have heard of village doctors not being fit to doctor... Gurl u out did ur self cause this is funny to me.
Wow what a coincidence, I have a foot doctor named Liston too, he amputated my brothers toes, and then brother found out he was impotent and couldn't perform, oh my gosh I'll have to change doctors right away...
Oh my gosh I laughed so hard after reading this I had to spit my tea out to keep from choking. U r too funny. I thank u for the laugh

LOL well ya might not think it was too funny if you'd been the guy who had his snipped off
I'm not a surgeon, never been to med school, never worked in a butcher shop, I'm a high school drop-out, and I've been doing amputations in my basement for years now. A part-time job only, can't do it full-time and keep a roof over my head! I don't advertise in the Yellow Pages, it's all word-of-mouth or from someone walking by my house and hearing the power saw from the basement!
"Hey! Watcha doin' down there? Yoohoo! Are ya' a carpenter?"
"Oh, I see! Well, as long as I'm here, could you remove this finger? How much ya' charge?"
Because I enjoy the job so much, even those that come to me that want a finger, toe, arm or a nose removed, and they can't pay, I do it for free!
I know, I know, I know! I've got a heart of gold!
