I've never had my jaw drop so hard in the first minute of a video before. I don't know what I expected the origin story to be, but it sure wasn't that.

I have to clarify the American C-Section pricing statement; The doctor doesn't make enough money for vacation homes in America any more; It's the venture capitalist who purchased the hospital and proceeded to run it into the ground, extracting every possible bit of profit from the procedure on American Mothers who has the yacht now. Insurance company investors also get their piece. The doctor has 2 choices; join the machine or quit medicine. Times they are a-changing.

"Doctor, the babys stuck, what can we do?!"

Thank you for covering the abuses women in Ireland faced

I’m sorry Facts Boy, I’m 1:50 in and I can’t do it. My wife had to be snipped for our first child and the sound from the scissors will haunt my nightmares forever. The thought of using a chainsaw is incomprehensible.

My girlfriend in IT makes more than Dr Mike per hour.
You gotta get to the hospital executive or investors level too get that vacation home

one important part in chainsaw development that bears mentioning is the invention of the membrane carburetor, which allowed for chainsaws being used in any position necessary.
you see prior to this invention a chainsaw had to be held upright for the engine to function.

I saw a guy in the ER with a chainsaw wound to his knee
It was brutal.

[nozzywozzy]

Everyone needs to watch this until the end. WTF that this went on until TEN YEARS AGO!?!!

[toad]

So THIS is why the Chainsaw Devils so feared.

A couple years ago I bought a battery-powered chainsaw. It is the scariest tool I own. Gas saws have some drama to them. They feel and sound dangerous. The battery saw is like a lightsaber.

Holy crap...yeah...thats definitely enough internet for today... 😨😱

Seems more fitting for an Into the Shadows episode.

Hearing Simon say "stuck in a ladies hoohaa" cracked me up....

[theremoteanater]

I read about this years ago i was waiting for you to do this

[veenoir]

All 3 of my kids were Csecs. The first was an emergency and the last two were scheduled surgeries, so I actually got to me in the room. A seriously wild experience. They do things that I just...let's just say that the Dunning-Kreuger was largely in effect that day lol.

[cassandrakarpinski]

1:28-1:40🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey America, do you need some ice for that burn 😂

[doktor_ghul]

Ye gads, the history of the chainsaw might make even Leatherface himself puke inside his mask and run away, gagging...maybe...

[seanmorgan]

I remember this being covered briefly in a brain blaze. This is gonna be good and horrifying.

[kmdkrohn]

we learned about this in nursing school. they also used potatoes as pessaries. you're welcome.

[alexandergreenfield]

Wow when you'd said it was used in surgery I really hadn't expected this horror story. Good god man. Can you imagine someone chainsawing your genitals and pelvic bone without any real anesthetic? 😳😥
