What REALLY sucked was that they took him to a reenacted field hospital and sawed his arm off without anesthesia.
ROTFL!

“Hey buddy, bite this!”
Actually that's a myth,the vast majority of civil war operations had some form of anesthesia,be it chloroform or the use of morphine,this led to the US,s first drug epidemic since the effects and dosages were not well understood
there actually was a name for this "old soldiers disease"
