There was a senior surgeon witnessing the surgery next to Liston and as he was moving swiftly he accidentally cut him, contaminating his body with gangrene. Two days after the surgery both the patient and the assistant died. A few days after the senior surgeon who was only witnessing the surgery, also died. Never in history has there been a record of having more than one (the patient) person dying in a surgery.

Many people blamed it on Liston’s carelessness for wanting to be the quickest that lead to this event, but at the same time, we need to consider his care for his patients as the quicker he was able to perform the surgeries, the less suffering for the patients had to experience. Dr. Richard Gordon who is a medical historian supports Liston’s reputation as he had an impeccable record for the early 1800s medical standards. We need to also take into consideration that Liston was also an inventor, who helped the evolution of more complex medical surgeries later in his career.

My friend Felix lost $10,000 back in April, close to two month’s salary for him. On Monday this money was in his bank account and on Tuesday it was gone. Can you guess what happened?

In 1820, Robert Liston was the most famous surgeon in Britain. He specialized in amputations and got so good at it that he was able to amputate a leg from the first incision to the last stitch in minutes. In that period of time, you needed guts and a strong stomach to be a surgeon, as sawing a limb of a conscious patient wasn’t for the faint-hearted. In theory, the quicker the surgery, the less time for something to go bad and also less suffering for the patient, however, when you rush, you can also fail big time, and that is what happened with this legendary surgery.

My feelings about Cindy’s fraud were more complicated, though. It took me months before I understood both why I couldn’t stop watching and why, every time I looked at a picture of Cindy or read about her case, I felt a distinct stirring in the pit of my stomach.

This meant that competent surgeons were required in the medical field and especially precise surgeons that could perform most of their surgeries in under ten minutes. It is imperative to mention that most of the surgeries which were performed at the time usually consist of the amputation of a limb due to gangrene or other simple procedures. No organ transplants or procedures of such nature were done at the time.

The patient was ready for his suffering, the assistants was holding the patient down so he would not move an inch and Liston was preparing his knives and saws. He knew that once he started cutting, he would not be able to stop as this meant a higher risk of infection, as well as putting the patient through even more pain. As he was getting ready for the first incision he shouted at the crowd spectating the surgery:

ince those days. Software for the Mac is to a larger extent developed in Xcode, we got more software distributed as LLVM bitcode. Software simply is not as tied to an architecture as strongly as when the PowerPC to Intel transition happened.

the early 1800s was a period where the fundations of modern medicine were established. A surgeon should normally take his time whilst being swift, but it was difficult to concentrate with five other assistants holding down a patient that kept screaming from the excruciating pain of being cut alive with no anesthesia. Even with their great techniques, there were still many basic surgical and hygienic factors that were not respected, justifying why many patients ended up in the morgue.

As Liston started cutting away at the patient’s leg, he cut a bit more than what he meant to by also cutting a finger from one of his assistants that were holding down the patient’s leg. This meant that cross-contamination of blood took place, which at the time, people were not aware of. However, Liston had to attend to the screaming patient, so he had no time to pause, he finished amputating the leg in an amazing time of only two minutes and thirty seconds. But during these two minutes, he also took another person down.

Most patients preferred to have Liston perform their surgery as his record was one death every ten surgeries which was amazing compared to the general one death to every four surgeries that most surgeons had. This was another amputation surgery of a leg that had developed gangrene. In order to stop the infection from spreading, the leg had to be cut.

If you look through the breakout list, they are also pretty well distributed. It’s not like I only invested in breakout companies in a short timeframe. Every single year between 2012–2016 I invested at least one breakout. From the second half of 2015, I did slow down my angel investment pace due to a new child and a new job I took in late 2016. I picked up the pace again in 2020 and I have made 16 direct investments this year. I am pretty sure that at least one of them will become a breakout. But I will report back in 2025.

Cindy is far from the only young-ish woman ripping off friends and family members on the internet, using social media and crowdfunding sites to raise funds with bogus stories of illness and personal tragedy.

Back in April (why does it feel like that was a lifetime ago?) when the world was beginning to react to COVID and the markets were awash in uncertainty, Felix, thinking he could turn a quick profit, decided to open up his Robinhood app and gamble.
