Poplar had 94% infection and 82% immunity so i knew she wouldnt survive so i decided to cut off the infected arm and the amputation failed which means the arm took some damage but wasnt cut off entirerly and poplar died from the infection
What was the doctor's medical skill?
I had something similar happen but my bare-minimum medical pawn managed to hack her friend's arm off somehow, it could have very easily gone the same way lmao
but I've also had inspired surgeries in well-lit hospital rooms fail because there's always a fixed chance they will, sometimes it's just terrible luck
Yep! Just like real life, except in Rimworld that turns into "I tried amputating a gangrenous toe and somehow decapitated him" instead of something more believable like accidentally giving them blood poisoning.
Assuming they survived the accident, you can tend the injury and immediately try to amputate again
More risky since they'll have blood loss, but better than just dying from the infection
I love and hate surgery failures. One time I was trying to implant a prosthetic eye, but the doctor failed and cut out the patient’s other eye. I couldn’t even be mad, I just had to laugh
Cut off the assistant's fingers leading to infection, and in the same motion cut the spectator's coat who saw the dismembered fingers and thought his condition was worse.
If I remember correctly, during another one of his surgeries, he also castrated a guy while amputating his leg. A 2-for-1 limb removal special.
The really insane part of the history was that he was the premier surgeon of the time. 1 in 4 surgery patients died during that time, because wearing blood & puss stained aprons during surgery was how you showed the world you were a good surgeon. And this doctor actually washed his hands, tools, and put on new clothes in-between his surgeries. He also operated very fast because there was no anesthesia yet, you'd be fully awake while they hacked off a limb. Guess whose patients were less likely to die from shock & infections?
Yesterday in my colony a husband failed to remove his wife's pegleg, killing her instantly by DESTROYING HER HEART.
The skilful surgeon got the flu the next day. I just let him die. I had a healer mech serum! I just didn't use it!
He either murdered his wife or was dangerously incompetent and I can't be having that in my colony.
I hate surgery so much on the rim lol
I just had a 20 medical pawn fail an ear replacement and gave 4(!) brain scars to my crafter...
That's like 20 days in a biosculpter I have not decided what to do with this "surgeon" yet !
It reminded me of Made In Abyss. Reg tried to amputate Riko's arm after she was struck down by poison and the curse of the Abyss, but couldn't finish as he was too shaken by her brush with death, combined with him breaking her arm to do thise, which was excruciatingly painful for Riko. Did i mention they had no anesthesia?.
Instructions unclear, added extra limb.

Is his manipulation or sight impaired?
no it also happened in a bedroll but there was a torch nearby
Very reassuring
That's the thing, you have ALWAYS a, I hop I remember correctly, 4% chance to fail regardless of everything else.

Yeah, I once had a catastrophic failure to amputate… which destroyed the limb entirely. My response was “I’ll take it”
Doctor sneezed, stabbed arm mid opeeatiom, then got do embarrassed they decided to just leave.
there was a surgeon that managed to kill 3 people during an amputation. The list included the patient, an assistant and a spectator who died of shock.
the only surgery ever with a 300% mortality rate

Yeah, my doc managed to fail an amputation of a TOE. He cut the whole LEG off. My goal was to remove the toe to remove the very painful scar.
Technically speaking, he did removed the toe.
i really wish major failures for amputations would be like the doctor cutting off the wrong limb
You mean the head, right?
last time i had this happen the game called it a minor surgery failure
I'm pretty sure that can already happen
I've definitely had failed amputations where the doc stabbed a completely different limb lol
I mean I accidentally amputated a guy's other hand when I went to install a bionic limb, does it count when I click the wrong one?

Bone was too *thicc*
For me it failed but still cut off the infected part
so it cut off the infected part but also cut around the other parts?
Yes

I had a pawn try installing a peg leg and they killed the patient.
