"The figure of Samuel Wood a miller, whose arm, with the scapula was torn off from his body, by a rope winding round it, the other end being fasten'd to the coggs of a mill. This happened in the year 1737. The vessels being thus stretch'd beld very little, the arteries and nerves were drawn out of the arm, the surgeon who was first call'd place'd them within the wound, and dressed it superficially. The next day he was put under Mr. Ferne's care, at St. Thomas's hospital, but he did not remove the dressings for some days: The patient had no fevere sysptoms, and the wound was cur'd by superficial dressings only, the natural skin being left almost sufficient to cover it" (from: "William Cheselden (1688-1752): The Anatomy of the Human Body. London: W. Bowyer, 1741."
