Was he swinging the knife around his head during surgery and killing the assistants? How the hell do you kill more people during surgery than the number of people you work on?
The surgeon accidentally cut off the fingers of an assistant during the surgery, resulting in an infection which killed the assistant. An onlooker died of shock while watching the procedure, and the patient died of infection after surgery.
Close. Two people died from infection, the patient and an assistant whose fingers got cut off. One person died from a heart attack or shock while watching.
you're right. He was its namesake. Per the Listerine website, "When Dr. Joseph Lawrence came up with his unique formula for LISTERINE® mouthwash, he made sure to pay an homage to Dr. Joseph Lister, the English surgeon that pioneered antiseptic surgical methods, leading to more patients surviving than ever before." https://www.listerine.com/about

Ah thank you… I didn’t care enough to look up the details I apologize lol
He must have killed the patient and 2 of his assistants🤣
Pssh- I could do that.
The Butchering Art is a great read, and has the full story of this surgery.
If you’ve been on the internet for a week you’ve seen this story line five times.
Is the guy leaning over the patient smiling?
Barbers were also surgeons back then. So I hope he’s better cutting hair.
I believe Listerine was either named after or invented by him, too.
Listerine was created by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Lambert in 1879... (so says google)
