Before modern medicine and without the advanced equipment we have today, doctors were often put in situations that they didn’t know how to handle or how to fix, such as infections. Back in the day, infection was seen as a reason for amputations, since they didn’t have antibiotics to solve the problem.
Amputation was considered a hard intervention back then, but doctors took pride in the instruments they use, such as the amputation saw that was used to get the job done. It was basically a saw, used to cut infected legs or arms, and you can imagine it was also a place for germs to breed.
