One thing I want to touch upon that I
0:02
think is super interesting, concept that
0:05
medicine was barbaric back in the
0:09
>> And I think that's one of those old West
0:11
myths. People understood antiseptics,
0:13
people understood things. A lot of
0:15
people say, "Oh, well, they all died of
0:16
infection from a bullet wound." Well,
0:17
no, they didn't. There was a doctor in
0:20
Tombstone by the name of George
0:22
Goodfellow, and George Goodfellow was
0:25
known as the the surgeon to take bullets
0:27
out, and you had a high rate of survival
0:29
with this guy because he understood
0:31
antiseptics. You got a bunch of older
0:33
doctors wandering around who don't like
0:36
these younger doctors, and they don't
0:38
like their ideals. And they think
0:40
antiseptics aren't that worth it. And
0:44
the situation that sort of happened with
0:45
President Garfield. He got shot. His
0:48
wound was not necessarily fatal. And if
0:52
Dr. Goodfellow was there, he could have
0:54
gotten it out. But, the problem was
0:55
sterilization. Spoiler alert, sorry, he
0:58
didn't make it. Somebody get a arrow
0:59
shot through him, or somebody get shot,
1:01
first thing you do, you give him a drink
1:02
of whiskey, and then pour half a bottle
1:04
on it, and dig it out with a stick.
1:05
There was so many times that I'm
1:07
thinking, this guy ain't going to make
1:09
it in real life, but in the movie, he'll
1:11
be back in 15 minutes.
